Arrested"

Yes, the topics at hand are the daily arrests of the hundreds of

what people who don't even live here think of
the whole thing.
Episode #177: "Please Don't Drink That"

A jumbled bunch of topics, including
Coca-Cola,
among other things.

First Broadcast: 4/26/99 Repeated: 3/26/01 Episode began at 1:59 AM.
A combination of subjects, including

words in them, and
the demonization of goths
in the wake of the shooting
at
Columbine High School in Colorado.

Episode #180: "50,000 People Do Whatever They Want"
First Broadcast: 5/17/99 Repeated: 10/11/99, 5/1/00 (MNN graphic was on screen for 1 minute before Episode began; opening animation
was cut off), 6/4/01 (Episode started on time, but opening
animation was cut off, and "Free New York" title was only on screen
for a second at the beginning, instead of the several seconds
it should have been on), 3/18/02 (Episode started on time at 2:00 AM at first; after 1 minute the episode was rewound to color bars where it reamined for several seconds; then the episode was fast forwarded to our countdown at "9" where it remained for several more seconds; then the episode was played from that point forward, starting over again from the beginning at around 2:02 AM. At 2:29 AM, MNN cut from the episode in progress to black; black remained on the screen from that point on, which means only 27 minutes of our program was shown, which means that all our end credits were cut off. Transmission also had dropouts in picture throughout which were not originally present in program.) (DV)
Firsthand coverage of the
Million
Marijuana March in Manhattan on
May 1, 1999, featuring
Dana
Beal among many others. The march was part
of a worldwide effort to legalize
marijuana use and hemp production, in
case you didn't know.
Episode #181: "Sit Down! Sit Down!"
First Broadcast: 5/24/99
Our experience with the premiere of
Star Wars, Episode 1:
The Phantom
Menace; and our advocation to
stop the war
in Kosovo,
specifically the bombings by NATO (read: the U.S.) which don't
seem to be helping out anyone, least of all
the refugees from that area.
Episode #182: "At Last We Can Reveal Our Pants
To The Jedi"
First Broadcast: 5/31/99
Attempted Repeat: 2/14/00 Not Shown! Some program named "Books
That Matter" was shown instead.

your clock); 5/13/02 (DV), Episode began at 2:01:30 AM
The round table returns, at long last, and we discuss some assorted thoughts
about the (then) newest Star Wars

things.
Episode #183: "Ares And Callisto Walking
Down The Street"
First Broadcast: 6/14/99
Just one of the many things I saw recently when I was thinking about how
The Matrix
and The Replacement Killers
both sucked compared to The Black
Mask--which itself was nothing compared to either
Rumble In The Bronx or
Supercop.
