Does anyone have a copy of Erin Gray's "English Leather" TV commercial to post? 
What about her guest appearance on "Hollywood Squares?"

Well, I was going to get dsl in time for the series.  It just became
available.   But that will be more money every month.  Unless they are
realy cheap, like 1 dollar an ep, and dvd quality, then I probly won't
watch.    If I pay, then I would want it to play in a full screen,  not
something with tool bars around the edge.
I can't stand logo's on regular tv.  (mostly zoom and pan to get rid of
those if I watch anything on regular tv.)    Mostly watch a lot of dvd's
from the public library.        mes.

Apologies to Scott and all members, as it appears we are having some email
issues.  I approved Scott's original post, but it only appeared on our web page,
and not via email.  Not to my account, anyway.  This message made it thru, but I
only knew it existed by visiting the web site.  It appears I never got notified
a message was waiting for approval.

It is interesting that they will apparently be charging for the new web
episodes.  I am not used to paying for episodes of anything, but I think I would
pay in this case!  I know it costs a lot to make these episodes, even if it is
done with a lot of volunteer effort.  Open-ended donations can't happen forever.
What do you think?

I just found out Erin gave the keynote address at the CHOICES 2009
Annual Peacemaker Awards Charity Luncheon at the Hyatt Regency Hotel
in Columbus Ohio last Thursday.  Her speech was on domestic violence.

During the luncheon, she received the 2009 Peacemaker Award for her
work on raising awareness on domestic violence, and her efforts in
raising funds.  She wants to thank all her fans for the many
donations they have made when she attends conventions.  She said it
takes a gift of the heart to change the world.

She also wanted to relate her sincere apology to the fans who
attended Victoria Comic Con last weekend, as she was unable to attend
at the last minute due to some travel coordination problems with the
promoter.

She looks forward to meeting the fans in the UK on November 21-22
with Mary McDonnell, Gil Gerard and Tony Todd!

It was announced during the Buck Rogers panel that Gil would play Buck Rogers' Father and Erin would play his Mother prior to Buck being sent to the 25th Century in the upcoming web series - Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.  Also they went on to say that both Gil and Erin would have roles in the 25th Century - Gil would be Buck's Commander - I did not catch exactly what role Erin would play.  They start shooting at the end of the month.  The story starts during World War I.

Someone has posted the entire panel of the Star Trek Phase II.  Gil Gerard was part of the panel.    Toward the end of this clip, is the trailer for Kitumba which Gil is in.

Looks like my Wikipedia link got mangled beyond my expectations.
Instead of not taking you anywhere, it takes you to another page.  It
should read exactly (remove the asterisk & cut & paste):

Sorry about that.

Before anyone gets too confused, we have a couple conversations going
on here -- Sam as Wilma on the Cabonauts should be in a streaming
media format on DailyMotion.com (see sample link below), and the new
Buck series with Erin and Gil making an appearance should be similar
to the Star Trek Phase II series of which they've put up several
episodes so far.

In that series, I have downloaded discrete movie files in many
formats: .AVIs, .MPGs, .WMVs, and .MP4s.  The smallest was 80 MB, and
the largest was 643 MB.  I haven't noticed them in anything but
downloadable form, and I'd be surprised to see them on DVDs or TV.
At least with the Trek series, they aren't allowed to make a profit,
as they don't own the rights.  It's purely a fan-based effort.

Now, over an old-style 33.6 kbps connection, that would be about 7
hours for the 80 MB file, and 2.3 -DAYS- for the 643 MB file.  Yep,
that's SLOW!!!   :-)   On my cable modem, the 643 MB file could
theoretically come down in as little as 4-1/2 minutes, but more
likely in less than 20.

Here's the Cabonauts sample I promised:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9xz1m_the-cabonauts-trailer_shortfilms

And here's a jump point for some of the Star Trek Phase II episodes,
the predecessors to the new BR series (the same person who plays
Captain Kirk will play Buck):

http://www.startreknewvoyages.com/episodes.html

Here's some info on what that series is all about (the new BR series
will no doubt be similar):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Phase_II_(fan_series)
(NOTE: If you got a "Wikipedia does not have an article with this
exact name.", check to be sure the address ended in a closed
parenthesis)

And a link to their pilot episode, which it appears they've removed
from their episode page ("This was our pilot episode that, while
watchable, does not compare with our later episodes like "World
Enough and Time"")

I also found that original pilot episode on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie6N4pqRS7g  (part I)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoRvX7q2-pg&feature=related  (part II)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU9si4fWvUA&feature=related  (part III)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx6X6tNHwSY&feature=related  (part IV)

Remember, that episode was their pilot, and isn't as good as later
ones.  The Phase II episode "World Enough and Time" was actually
nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short
Form in 2008, alongside episodes of Doctor Who, Torchwood and
Battlestar Galactica!  Unfortunately, it lost out to the Doctor Who
episode "Blink".

The Cabonauts, the new Buck Rogers series, and even the Trek series
should provide a lot of interesting viewing in the months to come!!
:-)

Some things they do not let you record or even save to hard drive, and
some they do.  But if all else fails, and you have an s-video output on
your video card on the computer, you just run a cable to a stand alone
dvd or vhs recorder.  The head phone jack from the computer and a
splitter adapter from radio shack takes care of the audio.  There are
also pc-to-tv boxes that are like 30 or 40 bucks at computer stores and
I have seen them at best buy too. Just plugs into the vga port in the
back and is powered by your usb.  They have s-video and composite outs.
   Nobody ever thinks of doing things the old fasion way.
    Anyway, I hope it will come to syfy or something.  I would at least
like to "see" it.
If not, a reasonably priced dvd set.   Especialy if they have nice
extras.
Some things I wait for if I know they are going to be on dvd.
    BTW;  You know, every time they interupt a tv show and I call the tv
channel to complain, they always say "well you can watch it on the web".
The powers that be think everyone lives in the crummy city and has
broadband.  All you have to do is go out about 20 miles and look out at
all the dusk to dawn lights from a high place to see that there are
millions of rual folk with no cable modems.    (don't get me started
about dusk-to-dawn lights in the country) arrrgg.           Anyway, I'll
watch those forums and hope I get some good news.          mark.

The best place to get information on the web series is to join the Star Trek Phase II's forum here - http://www.startreknewvoyages.com/forum/  There is  a Buck Rogers Begins sub forum on the board. 

There is a Buck Rogers Begins forum here.  http://forums.buckrogersbegins.com/
Its not real busy right now.  I suspect the forum will get busier when  they start production.  It seems like they announce stuff first on the Phase II forum.  That may change when production starts. 

I hope this helps. 

Is there any info of it being available on a cable/satelite station? Or as a dvd
release? Or possibly, is anyone going to record it?I am on dial up.  Broadband
is not available out here in the country. (not that I could afford it)Watching
video on computer is realy not an option.  It would take me about 5 hours to
download a 45 min show.  And I need my phone for calls.       mark.

Sounds like Sam is going to follow in her mother's footsteps:

"That night we had dinner and drinkipoos with
Erin Gray and her lovely daughter Sam who's going
to be starring in a new online version of Buck
Rogers asŠWilma Deering! Sam seems like an
absolutely terrific person and I'm sure she's
going to rock the role - can't wait to see it!"

Looks like Erin maybe involved in the first story if her schedule permits.
