From: lorenh@hpcvra.cv.hp.com.sp@m.not (Loren Heisey) Newsgroups: rec.arts.tv Subject: EpiLog episode guide list update Message-ID: <204470001@hpcvra.cv.hp.com> Date: Mon, 23 Nov 1992 20:13:30 GMT Organization: Hewlett-Packard Co., Corvallis, OR, USA
Here is
an updated list of episode guides in issues of Epi-Log magazine.
For those that do not know, Epi-Log is a magazine devoted to doing episode
guides. The quality of the guides varies quite a bit depending on who writes
the synopses. Some guides have been known to have errors. They do list all
the episodes and usually give the original air dates. People looking for lots
of information on a show will probably not be interested in them but they are
useful for keeping track of which episodes one has seen or has yet to see.
Epi-Log magazines can be found at Sci-Fi conventions and also at some
comic book stores.
They can also be gotten from the publisher:
- Star Tech,
- P.O. Box 456, Dunlap, TN 37327, USA
- (their catalog is $1 and requests for information need a SASE [self addressed stamped envelope]).
- P.O. Box 456, Dunlap, TN 37327, USA
The left half is a by issue listing and the right half is an alphabetical listing. A # after the name means it is a list of episodes rather than a guide.
