I am not in Philly now, so a friend of mine is taping the entire series for me. When I go home, I watch about 3-4 hours straight of it. About ROVER. I find him silly. Many times you can see the string pulling him along the water, but I don't mind. When you love a show you take a lot of things as givens. ROVER could have been done more convinsingly, but such is life in the Village. I hope they tell us who #1 is at the end of the series, or at least get him rescued. Q: Any thought as to where the Village really is? Not that many places can have the kind of climate they do (rarely rains, never cold), with a bay and mountains, etc. Whaddya think?
