Recently, viewers were asked about their favorite
character in a TV series, their favorite episode, and
their favorite line from a TV series. Readers might
enjoy the following variety of responses:
“Sonny Crockett from ‘Miami Vice’ - I find the
contrasts in his character to be very appealing.”
“Dr. Mark Craig from ‘St. Elsewhere’ - I like his
integrity, his honesty...”
-0-
“Frank Furillo from ‘Hill Street Blues’ - I find him
to be a firm and fair boss, a compassionate, and
intelligent person.”
-0=
“Sam Malone from ‘Cheers’ - He’s warm, humorous,
and caring.”
-0-
“Jack Morrison from ‘St. Elsewhere’ - He plays a
sensitive doctor who is also a devoted father.”
-0-
“Lucy Bates on ‘Hill Street Blues’ - She’s a normal
working woman trying to keep a good balance between
personal and professional life.”
-0-
“Christine Cagney from ‘Cagney & Lacey’ - I like
her free spirit, honesty, humor and determination.
She’s intelligent, stubborn, honorable, ambitious and
vulnerable.”
“My favorite episode is from ‘The Cosby Show’
which dealt with him teaching his son the values of a
dollar - while they were playing Monopoly.”
“Miami Vice,” “Smugglers Blues’ - “This blew me
away. It was riveting. The scenes at the end involving
the detonation of the bomb and Tubbs taking the
ransom to the kidnapper was excellent.”
-0-
“The ‘Dreams’ episode of ‘St. Elsewhere’ - it was
& Lacey’ episode where Lacey is just waking up after
surgery and Cagney took Lacey’s hand and the sun
shone. It was simply touching.”
“My favorite line is from ‘St. Elsewhere’ - Dr. Mary
Woodley (played by Karen Austin) put a stuffed
animal in with a deceased infant and said to Dr.
Westphall, ‘Eternity is such a long journey. Maybe
she’d like some company.’ ”’
-0
“From ‘St. Elsewhere’ - Dr. Ehrlich in the O.R.
after hearing how Mrs. Hufnagel was found dead.
‘Hufnagel on the half shell” It was so utterly
ridiculous.”
-0-
“From ‘St. Elsewhere’ - The episode where the ex-
‘White Shadow’ actors come face to face. Orderly
Warren Coolidge recognizes the Van Patten character
and yells, ‘Hey, Salami’ It was a wonderful little
inside joke.”

Most readers probably have not realized that all
people who watch TV, according to Glick and Levy,
fall into one of three categories. TV viewers are first
classified into a group called ‘‘protestors.’”’ Protestors
are “upscale.” They are very critical, and claim
rather vehemently that they have no time for televi-
sion.
“Embracers’’ are those who watch TV every oppor-
tunity given them. They do not care what is on
television as long as the TV set is on, and they are
seated right in front of it. Embracers are perpetual
viewers.
Viewers of television are also grouped into a third
category entitled ‘‘accommodaters.” Accommodaters
check the TV schedule of programs and arrange their
time to enable themselves to watch certain shows that
appeal to them. In other words, accommodaters
accommodate’ TV into their schedules.
The thought-provoking question is this - Are you,
being a reader as well as a television viewer, a
protestor, an embracer, or an accommodater???
great.”

With Jean Hillard

are back in town. A very special
welcome back to Ann and her

Ray Strazdus, a student at Lincoln
Tech, one of the key basketball
players with the Dacuson, Hillard,
Spudis, Poorman team that chal-

Sorry Ray, I don’t know how I ever

HERE'S SOMETHING to think
about while you're waiting for
spring: The big fad in the big cities
like L.A. and New York City is a 14
karet gold pinkie fingernail with a
diamond chip in the center. The cost
runs around $1,000. If you think the
Back Mountain is behind times, I've
got news for you, one of my custom-
ers at Stapinski’s came in right
before Christmas to show me her
fingernail with the diamond chip,
and you can believe me, it was the
real thing!
(Jean Hillard is a Back Mountain
resident whose column appears
weekly in The Dallas Post.)
Nursery
announces
registration
The Trucksville Nursery School is
pleased to announce its annual Reg-
istration Day to be held Friday,
March 7, from 11-1:30 p.m. Our
theme this year is ‘Happiness is
Nursery School.” All parents inter-
ested in seeing what our school is
all about and meeting the staff, are
invited to attend with your child.
The Trucksville Nursery School
has been serving our community for
17 years. A year of nursery school
can be a rewarding experience for
your preschooler as they learn to
adjust to a classroom setting and
encounter their peers through group
play. They will gain confidence and
independence in a warm loving
environment geared to help them
learn through socialization, in prep-
aration for their experiences in kin-
dergarten. Throughout the year, we
strive to make the children aware of
the world around them by present-
ing such themes as hibernation,
migration, the five senses, and good
health, as well as field trips within
the community.
The school is located in the
Trucksville United Methodist
Church Educational Building which
provides large-size classrooms with
plenty of space indoors and out.
Children are enrolled in the pro-
gram of your choice depending on
availability.
Classes for three year olds are
held morning and afternoons with
two day or three day a week ses-
sions. Classes for morning or after-
noon sessions are available for four
and five year olds with your choice
of a three, four or five day session
per week depending on availability
and age requirements.
Registration for next year is cur-
rently taking place and advance
registrations will be accepted after
February 20. If you have any ques-
tions, contact Director Linda Mazur
at the school at 696-3897.
Senator Charles D. Lemmond, Jr.
will be guest speaker at the Dallas
Baptist Church, Idetown on Sunday,
March 9, at 11 a.m. Presently, he is
serving in the State Senate, repre-
senting citizens of the 20th Senato-
rial District. The emphasis of his
message will be the Christian’s role
in changing the direction of Amer-
ica’s values.
This service is a prelude to the
“Good News America Revival”
planned by Dallas Baptist Church
beginning March 16, 1986. This
church is one of 30,000 churches in
the Southern Baptist Convention
planning simultaneous revivals.
The public is invited to attend this
special service and gain an insight
in the awareness of God’s love and
our patriotism.
