2391.0. "Rock Follies; rock spoof " by MILKWY::JANZEN (Tom 2285421FXO/28 MicrowaveLogicQual) Tue Jul 17 1990 12:39

    Rock Follies is on PBS in Boston, channel two , 11PM , every single
    night (anyway m-Th or f) for only two more weeks.
    I assume they will have the later seasons next season.
    
    Rock Follies is an incredibly funny show.  I laughed hard.  I never
    laugh at sit coms.  It is an hour show.
    It is about a female rock trio in Great Britain starting and then
    struggling in their career.  It is pretty true-to-life in some ways.  I
    think you rockers will get a real kick out of it.  The songs aren't
    wonderful and they don't sing that well, but it's a real kick.  The
    later seasons, which finally end when they break up, are gritty and
    ironic with great take offs on such things as American promoters.
    Ah comon, 'ave a look.
    Tom

2391.1	Not An Auspicious Beginning	DRUMS::FEHSKENS	len, EMA, LKG2-2/W10, DTN 226-7556	`Tue Jul 17 1990 14:30`	7
	First episode last night (16 July), 12 in all, Monday - Friday, 11PM - 12. I hope it gets a lot better... len.

	I think its worth pointing out that this series is probably about 15 years old. Its amazing how many people think that old British series like "On the buses" are true reflections of life in England. Ken ;-) (A Brit in Canada)
2391.3	..but it's getting closer by the minute	HEART::MACHIN		`Tue Jul 17 1990 16:34`	5
	Yes -- it's common knowledge that everywhere in America is like Dallas. But Fawlty Towers gives a totally false impression of Britain. Richard.

	Didn't I tell you how I hooked up my Amiga RGB monitor to the VHS HiFi VCR I bought to do two track mixdowns to and voila, TV! Now I've even got cable and another VCR to really do two track mixdowns to and a cabinet full of video tapes and ... len.
2391.6	Len's a VJ (video junkie)	WEFXEM::COTE	You make the knife feel good...	`Tue Jul 17 1990 21:54`	3

	Last night's episode was a considerable improvement, if it continues to get better at this rate, next week should be fabulous. len.
