Author Topic:   Australia just had the Premiere....

Well, we JUST had the premiere of Now & Again on here in Australia. Immediately after it, I got online to see if I could find more info on this new (for us!) show!! I couldn't believe it when the FIRST site I come across proclaims on its front page that there are two campaigns to GET THE SHOW BACK ON!!!!!
From what I saw tonight the show clearly has lots of potential, an interesting mix of scifi and humanism, I can't help but think of another show that got abruptly cancelled, Dark Skies!! Wasn't Eric Close in that one too?? What a run he's having....
Well, from at least ONE viewer in Oz, I hope this show IS picked up by someone else, it looks like it could be a good one.

You too huh? ; ) Didn't tape it did you? The picture got pretty fuzzy at times down here.

Absolutely, and the music is a killer (I think it's addictive). Let's just hope Channel 10 doesn't butcher it in an attempt to fit in more ads.

No I didn't tape it, but I don't have the best picture anyway coz I use an indoor antenna in Canberra.
I'm with you on Channel 10 though, what I'm really waiting for is the ads which'll say the US's award winning show.... no one will tell Joe Public it gets axed at the end of season one ;)
Hopefully MORE Aussies will get on the bandwagon (give it a few weeks for more episodes to start playing) and convince them that overseas sales are worth something to them too!!

Where do i start.......
I Now and Again .. is truly a one in a millon show ... .. no fancy cgi ... no big explosions .. just some real people :-) in some real situations (or as close u can get in this sort of thing).
I really enjoyed the fact that the show centred not on his powers but his family and on how his transformation effected the relationship between them.
I just hope the rest of the world can join together and speak out in one voice and force cbs to finally standup and give us what we want ........ now and again....
End transmission....

Newest Oz update -
They just showed the episode (in Oz) where Micheal trys to help the Doc with his love life (I didn't see the title I tuned in late).
Write to audsvcs@cbs.com and LMoonves@cbs.com to help save Now and Again, And remember you Americans send eggs to CBS.

Just one sentence about "Now and Again"
"It rocks"
The best show on TV so far.
When is Pretender coming back on?
Ryan posted 10/13/00 6:54 PM    
Pretender is not coming backto NBC, it is now on TNT, but that's only reruns, but they will come out with 2 Pretender movies. I have Now and Again withdrawl symtoms.
dallas mitchell posted 10/19/00 1:48 AM    
wtf!!! just as i really start to get into the show i have it pulled out from under me? a fantastic show with a fansatic cast, why would you axe it?
James posted 10/26/00 2:19 PM    
That is totally screwed that it is ending , everyone in Australia was like really into the show but i guess those CBS #$%^ dont give a @#$% about what we ...the fans think. Rest IN Peace Now and Again we will always remember you!
Are there any other shows with Eric Close in them, he's a really good actor!

I am another fan who is upset about CBS--the same network that cancelled Eric Close's other series, The Magnificent Seven--two years in a row. I think CBS is a lost cause--I for one plan not to watch any of that network's new series. I hate getting a great new show, getting really attached to the characters, then having the whole thing canned. I miss The Pretender too, but at least TNT is giving us reruns, from the start, and movies...maybe TNT would be interested in Now and Again...

Well Just watched an episode... the one about the doctors friend who kills people for their organs... Kewl show... specially when you seek Eric that way!! Nothing but a sheet to cover the bits that would make it lewd.
Anyone know if the theme song is a real song? I know the premier show had the current theme mixed with Janet's Don't Know What You Got (til its gone)

It's almost here... The last episode of Now and Again airs on Tuesday in Australia. Anyone else hyperventilating?
Now that this beloved series is about to end here, I'm sure more people will be willing to write to protest the shows cancellation. Let's hope with the added fans from Oz our voice is a hell of a lot louder. *sob, sob...*
wattle posted 11/21/00 11:04 AM    
The whole family watched the final of now and again. it was great but there is not ending which really infuriates me. At least they should make a movie final to finish the whole series. It stinks.
melissa posted 11/21/00 11:17 AM    
i can't believe the last episode!!how could they just finish it like that? that was the best show and now they want us to make up our own minds as to what happens next? this totally sucks!!
Vic posted 11/24/00 7:19 AM    
I never was addicted to TV show like this ever before (even though I love anything scifi).CBS you screwed Australia .YOU SHALL PAY DEARLY !!!

Helloooooo everyone!
I (like everyone else) am sort of.. ADDICTED to Now & Again
okay, well, I didn't see the first episodes, but when I saw about the 6th I had to watch more! I'm just so addicted (more so to Eric Close *droooool*)
Anyway, I really wish that it will come back again, but it probably will next season, seeing it was only the season finale before. Could some-one please tell me what happened in the first episodes? (If you want to waste your time on me)
I'm absessed! I've taped the episodes, downloaded the theme songs, printed out pictures of Eric Close (of course) soo...
yeah
bye!

I also am a huge fan of Now and Again, also because of Eric. The first few episodes were fantastic. They had a great combination of tension between the doc and Michael, on one hand there was resentment and on the other there was this awakening like fasination with everything around. I wasn't aware that the show was axed until five episodes before the final. It would be devastating to think it wont ever come back on again after the cliff hanger that they left us with. How could they expect us not to complain about it.

Well, I doubt anyone's even gonna read this let alone care (not now....) It's been well over a year since this message board started and I've JUST found out that Now and Again is no longer.....
I came to this site wondering when the hell I was going to get to see the show again... like everyone else here, I got hooked on the show and I've been sitting, waiting patiently, wondering when it was going to return... I AM DEVASTATED!!!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS.....?
Jessica posted 12/30/01 9:52 AM    
I am with everybody in believing Now and Again is one of the best shows. Why is that good shows such as NaA, Farscape, Roswell and Buffy either get taken off the air or are put in really late time slots, while earlier times are bombarded by endless american sitcoms that are all essentially the same. Are these Tv execs trying to say that anything that doesn't conform with what the majority wants don't deserve to be shown? Why can't they listen to a vocal minority that is saying something important like get NaA back on?

Now and Again - what an amazing show...
Here in the UK, we had the show when it first aired. Being a studen t at the time, I caught the shows even though they were on at about 2 in the morning!!
Now they've started showing them again, and again, they're on at 2 a.m. But now I work, so I miss them.
I wish CBS, or someone, would start making the show again. Oh, and I wish they'd release it on DVD too!

DVDs: If you're thinking of me, I am still going to be putting together some DVDs; I've now got the time to do it, and the equipment, but it will take some time, as I need to encode all of the episodes into MPEG2, which won't be a walk in the park. I'll keep you informed...
Michael was also putting together some DVDs; Michael, could you possibly send me an e-mail so that I could have a word about sorting out a DVD set?
Cheers,

Get Mad Dough!!!
NEED EXTRA CASH???? TURN $6.00 INTO $6000 OR $60000... READING THIS MESSAGE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER !!!!!!PLEASE READ THIS ALL!!!!!!!!! !!!!IT HELPED ME & IT CAN HELP YOU!!!! !!!! NOT A SCAM !!!! !!!I REPEAT NOT A SCAM!!! THIS ONLY COST YOU A 6.00 CASH !!!INVESTMENT!!! IT DOES WORK !!!PLEASE READ ALL!!! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now,and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!?... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, WHY it works... Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage) IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is 99% no risk - it really works! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to success: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal. Mail the 6 envelopes to the
following addresses:
#1) Idris Stackhouse
330 Lenox road. apt 5m
Brooklyn, New York 11226
#2) Eric Stilley
1715 Possum Trail
Harker Heights, TX 76548
#3) Pierre Jenkins
7816 Regent Drive
Arlington, TX 76001
#4) Kevin Prentice
134 45 229st. Springfields Gardens
Laurelton,NY 11413
#5)Patty Cabrales
1412 1/2 fairfax ave
Los Angeles, CA 90019
#6)Luis Pimentel
9678fontainbleau blvd #105
Miami, Fl 33172
STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up 1 place (#2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2, etc...) and add YOUR name and address as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! You won't get very much unless you post like crazy. :) This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) so, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! -----DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS-------------- Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to. Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work.
