No, that's Gilligan's Island. At least, the episode I wanted to see but they
never aired. :-,
LotF is such a psycho book. I was about to throw it away at the end, until
the very last bit where the guy looks at the ship...then it all clicked. (Is
that a spoiler?) Great read.

I was having this conversation with Barbara a few days back. She's never read
the LotR books, so she admittedly doesn't understand the appeal they have. I
mentioned that the LotR trailer broke download records, surpassing even the
download stats for Episode 1.
The thing of it is, that Tolkien had a far better understanding of basic,
core-level humanity than Lucas ever could have. I could go on, but I'll
refrain for now...
