I wonder if they know that that name belongs to a certain

The early showing moved up an hour as of last week, I think. Here, it was
on at 2PM, & now it's on at 1PM. The nighttime showing is still on at 10PM.
Otherwise, I don't know of any changes, except there was no early showing on
Mon., due to the holiday.

Rachel, a couple weeks ago, TNN moved HL up one hour to 4pm
(immediately preceded by "Seven Days"). Friday's ep: "Bless the
Child" where AP gets to speak in Lakota Sioux (or somethin' like that)
to the Indian lady kidnapping her baby from her father-in-law. Best
scene: Duncan gets the bear to focus on eating the strawberry jelly
--instead of eating RICHIE! <heh heh heh> <sorry Marina & Co.>

Thanks to all who replied! I thought it may have been moved since
they're revising 9or whatever) that channel. When I turned on the TV
this week at 5:15 or so, I got something called Real TV. At least
HL's still airing!

Yes, I agree - I'd like the showings to be later, myself, but perhaps
it's good for others? My TV rarely gets turned on before dark. I must
find time to dig out my tapes (still buried after last year's
move)(no DVDs yet) and watch along, soon. TNN's reception is sadly
lacking here in the N.CA mountains anyway & I'm getting the house
ready for company this month so will be doing most/all of my TV
viewing late at night.
So.....I must do some digging so as to watch along late at night.
Even tho' I'm weeks behind right now on listmail, I've seen some new
faces, along with other very familiar ones. <g> It's SO much fun
watching & listening to people fall in love with HL for the first
time (or all over again).
Not to mention the great discussions that take place here on this
list. It's so nice to have HL airing again & see more mail arriving
in my HL mailbox once again. :) I've been reading some wonderful con
reports (waves at Carmel&Sonja et al) from the recent HLDU convention
on another list and it's bringing back such great con memories - I
wish I could've been there.

LOL! I've been wondering the same thing. They're certainly pitching
it to the guys, from what little I've seen of the commercials (mute
button gets a workout from me). Half the stuff looks like some awful
'Guy Show' or something I've seen on another channel.
Ah well, at least they have the good taste to air HL.

listings' to my to-do lists)

Well :::considers being modest::::::gives it up as a lost cause::::: I probably could do most episodes from memory. Between watching them all dozens of times and having multiple lengthy discussions of them, I know most of them very very well. Maybe not individual-lines-of-dialog-taken-out-of-context-well (as Nina's trivia contest showed, Duncan said many of the same things with only minor variations to people over and over throughout the years) but well enough to know which scenes were in the US versions and which are Euros. The trick is remembering exactly when the "cut" is made and picking up on the really short cuts that consist of a longer pan shot or a single line of dialog cut. To do it right, one really does need to have both versions to compare.
Wendy(I bet there are any number of geezers here who could win spot-the-euro without needed to check the tapes)(The mystery is why things I know were Eurominutes seem to be showing up on TNN)

Subject: A mystery solved!
It was bugging me that the Eurominutes I wrote up way back when the European versions first became available didn't match what I taped off of TNN last week. I *knew* that the scene in "Epitaph for Tommy" with Duncan hanging upside down and hallucinating was *not* shown the first time around.
Well, I was right. (I do so love to be vindicated). I watched UCOA yesterday and they showed a scene that was definitely not shown the first time the series was broadcast. The scene with Duncan and Laura talking in the park at night *is* a Eurominutes. Further investigation shows that TNN is showing the Euroversions and making their own cuts to fit in the time allotted.
When UCOA was first shown, the park scene was the only real Euro-scene and it comprised a bit over 4 minutes - the entire cut needed to reduce a 48 minute European show to a 44 minutes American one. TNN added most (but not all) of that 4 minutes back in and cut almost 4 minutes from other places throughout the episode. (Which means that my original post of "Epitaph for Tommy" has the correct Eurominutes and I shouldn't have revised them.)(Not that anyone but Carmel cares<g>)(Hi Carmel)(I owe you Raven Eurominutes, don't I?)(Do you think anyone will notice that this is now a private conversation?)(No, most people are too busy to notice such things.)(I'm thinking of putting my HL web site back up.)(How are things in Australia?)(Moving on toward winter now, right.?)(OK, better go back to what I was doing)
So what does this mean? Nothing to 97% of you <EG> All it really means that my quest to identify and record all the Eurominutes is a lot harder than it was a few hours ago. Where I have notes from the original broadcast, I'm going with those. Otherwise...I'm going to have to rely on what a wonderful memory I have.

yes, we notice these little things:)
And yes, on the forum we were discussing last week that TNN has done its own
editing. Most unusal choices at times.

True. I was sure some of the Euros were being shown, back in the 1st week
when TNN's Road Not Taken included the Euro tag scene of DM & Tessa chatting
on their bed. Yet, other odd bits are mysteriously missing in all the eps.
