A few thoughts at the end of the day. And - combining two threads.
Let's take one series: Beverly Hills 90210 First, it's interesting to note that in the first series, no one had a cell phone. What a contrast with the current version. Secondly, I'm really only half paying attention to the talk of characters showing up in different versions of the same show, which means I probably haven't read some posts - and that I don't find the subject particularly interesting. But although I haven't watched the current version of 90210, that series is a good example, I think, of a character or two showing up in both series. BTW I just read a review in the NYT of a new book about Bell Labs. Interesting stuff. I'm reminded of a lecture I attended in the early 1980s by a scientist with Bellcore, the Baby Bells answer to Bell Labs. He "warned" us of the coming paradigm shift in telephone usage, how we would be calling individuals, not specific locations. I remember my colleagues and I laughing afterwards. Because at that time we couldn't grasp the significance of what he was talking about. Melissa <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtB4UDMEkpU&feature=related> Curious about the email address?
