The note from Jackie  on V in V10#75 reminded me of
something that happened when V series was first being shown.  Someone had
volunteered to summarize the episodes for us.  However, I haven't seen any
summaries in a long time.  Not having a television and therefore being unable
to check for myself, I'd like to know:

Is it really that bad or did the person doing the summaries find other things to
do with his time?

I'm the person who volunteered to do the summaries.  This was clearly a
mistake on my part.

Yes, it's really that bad!  I managed to watch the whole first episode and
report on it, but halfway through the second I decided that the risk of mind
rot was just too great.

"V" does for science fiction what "The Dukes of Hazzard" does for rural
sociology.  (That would make a fine closing comment! :-)
