"Anyone note the coincidental timing of Mole:Celeb to air between the Push:NV seasons??"Now if ABC will just leave PUSH to air in the same time slot as The Mole...we will all breathe a little easier!
BTW...AyaK I will be happy to contribute an episode summary if you are short writers. I would prefer advance warning if possible!! (Note pad & VCR at the ready!)
Regards,
From the ABC press release for the show:Each episode will have new puzzles to follow and solve, along with a dazzling array of guest stars. In a next-generation twist, viewers following "Push, Nevada," the mystery series, will also be able to play "Push, Nevada," the game. Every episode of the show will hold clues to solving the mystery, beginning with the premiere episode, "The Amount." At the end of the 13 episodes, the winner of the mystery contest will be able to claim the stolen money.
So ... 13 episodes is right. Thanks, sleeeve.
Hey, have we ever posted the whole press release? Other than plugs for LivePlanet, here's the plot synopsis:
Mild-mannered IRS agent Jim Prufrock (Derek Cecil) travels to a remote desert town in search of missing money and stumbles on a place where mystery, danger and peculiar characters lurk around every off-kilter corner. Everyone has a secret in Push, Nevada, but no one is talking, unless they're telling Jim to get out of town -- fast. Every word, every sign, every gesture could hold a clue to solving the riddle of this tiny Nevada town.
The mystery begins when a fax from the Versailles Casino in Push is sent by accident (perhaps) to Jim, alerting him to a sizable accounting error -- and an embezzlement scheme involving a fortune in cash. Casino honcho Silas Bodnick refuses to talk about the missing money, so Jim's investigation leads him to Push, where nothing is as it seems.
Push is a town where neighborhood couples indulge in synchronized romance each night at 9:15; where the only casino, the Versailles, pays out the biggest jackpots in the state; and where the lonely look for companionship at "Sloman's," a slow-dance bar. It's there that Jim meets Mary (Scarlett Chorvat), a beautiful and enigmatic woman who tells him that the mystery of Push is, "like all the best secrets, not quick in the telling," and warns him to go home before he gets hurt. A determined man, Jim plans to find out what mystery lies behind Push, no matter what the risk. All along the way, a shadowy team of high-tech operatives monitors his every encounter with the town's denizens.
Sounds like "Twin Peaks" meets "Murder, She Wrote."
Ok, I can't believe that I'm about to step of a cliff here, but I would humbly like to offer my services.*getting down on one knee, "May I please have a Push summary so that I may join the most awesome ranks of official summary writer?"
Having never summarized a show, I have no preferences as to which, if any, episode I get. I would just be extremely grateful to get one so I can cut my teeth! Thanks for the consideration!

I'd love to write a summary, Ayak. References available upon request.Strider
I think maybe possibly kind of perhaps I would like to write a summary for Push, Nevada.
LAST EDITED ON 08-21-02 AT 09:36 PM (EST)Right now, we have 10 writers for Push, Nevada summaries:
1. PepeLePew13 (E1)
2. Silvergirl1 (E2)
3. trigirl (E3)
4. magic_star
5. RedLady
6. YumYumsAngel007
7. Bebo
8. Strider
9. Teddy_Bear
10. AsraiSo ... we only need three more writers, and we'll wrap up the schedule. First come, first served.
Edited to move the people writing the first three summaries to the first three slots
LAST EDITED ON 08-21-02 AT 05:56 PM (EST)Thank you AyaK, all I ask is that you don't schedule me for a summary the same week as my Survivor one.
And . . . as I said above--when I was and am still hoping for Episode 8 S5 summary--If Push comes to shove, I'd rather write my Nevada summary within at least, a few weeks appart.
Since there is a possibility that OFG might switch with me, and I'll be working on--j/k Erist, in the meantime,
I'm not yet sure when that will be.

My original plan was to have you write a summary late in the 13-episode run of PN (which would give you a few weeks gap after your S5 summary), but I'll wait and see how your "switching" works out.
Episode 2 is fine with me.
Come on in, the water's fine!
Episode 3 sounds great!Tri

edited because I just felt like it.
AyaK, from the Push, Nevada schedule; I got the impression that the first episode is Sept. 17 & the second on the 19th--the sme as for Survivor 5--Episode 1.I assume you could take this to mean that every Push summary which falls on the corresponding episode of survivor, is one number later.
Therefore, Ep. 2=1, 3=2, 4=3, and so on. I am currently scheduled to write an S5 summary. S5 # 5=PN summary # 6.
There is a possiblility that OFG may switch eps. with me. She is current;ly scheduled to write S5 summary #8=PN summary #9.
Until I hear back from her, I'm also trying to get hold of Survioreist who has S5 #7=PN # 8.
What I'd like to ask is that you give me summary # 11 or #10 in the meantime.
Since Episode 11 is not scheduled yet, I forsee no problem.
Thank you, TB. P.S. Is my sigline the right height? I've asked sleeeve this as well, but in OT you said that any sigline not extending beyond 65 pixels in total (quotes, etc.) would be acceptable.

Well, i need need to volunteer. Bur first, some facts need to be answered:1. is this show on?
2. when?
3. how often?
4. what network again?Rolling along with the tumbling tumbleweeds, is Ra
I suppose it's a requirement to actually watch the show to write a review of it. Damn those stickling contract particulars.
and hugs and sunshine for all, Ra
>Well, i need need to volunteer. But first, some facts
>need to be answered:

>1. is this show on?Starts in September, same week as Survivor.
>2. when?
E1 will air the Tuesday before Survivor debuts -- E2 and all subsequent episodes will air Thursdays at 9 PM, right AFTER Survivor (except on a different network, ABC instead of CBS). It'll be competing with CSI head-on.
>3. how often?Weekly, unless it gets canceled.
>4. what network again?
ABC

>particulars.Actually, I've written summaries of shows that I didn't watch. But it's much easier to watch the show before writing the summary!
All with fun, Ayak.
Thanks for the information. Slot me in whereever you like.
I'll have to engage tube and tape #2, since the taping of Surv/CSI shall not be interrupted.
At least the timing makes it easy.
I'm looking forward to this stuff.

Ayak,
If you still need another volunteer, I'd love to try to write a summary. If the spots are filled, it's ok.
For all of the Ben Affleck fans that are out there, I believe I saw a commerical that stated he was one of the producers of the show.

LAST EDITED ON 08-23-02 AT 02:44 PM (EST)Since I don't know the dates for this show, it's hard to do a final schedule. I also don't know when Teddy_Bear will do her Survivor summary. But, here's a very preliminary episode schedule:
E1. PepeLePew13
E2. Silvergirl1
E3. trigirl
E4. magic_star
E5. Ra_8secs
E6. buckeyegirl
E7. Bebo
E8. RedLady
E9. YumYumsAngel007
E10. Strider
E11. Teddy_Bear
E12. Asrai
E13. TBD (I'll ask someone to write this one)One problem with this schedule is that if Teddy_Bear really shifts to E8 of Survivor: Thailand, she'll have to move to a different episode here -- methinks that E8 of S5 will take place the same time as E10 of Push, Nevada.
There's another possible issue. This show could get canceled at any time. If ABC could yank Mole 2 off the air arbitrarily after only 3 weeks, then PN could be dogmeat by E5 or E6. That's why I scheduled all of the people who applied to write summaries of other shows (Silvergirl1, trigirl, Ra_8secs, buckeyegirl) to handle episodes prior to E7!
Thanks for putting together the schedule...and for getting the applicants for other shows taken care of, given how many idiotic monkeys work in the ABC programming department. (No folks, the meds did not make a kinder, gentler, Bebo.)And if you find out about a Teddy switch before I'm scheduled to write E7, then I'll gladly switch with her and take E11.
>And if you find out about a Teddy switch before I'm scheduled to write E7, then I'll gladly switch with her and take E11.<Thanks so much Bebo. You really are the bestest.
{{{{{{{Bebo}}}}}}} My encouraging thoughts are with you.

Thank you, Ayak! I'm so happy to have been given the chance to do a summary. Ep. 12 is great with me. But, if for any reason, somebody needs to switch to a later episode...I'll be happy to oblige.Like I said earlier, I'm easy (ummm, that's not what I meant,) I'm flexible (oh man, that sounds bad, too,) I'll do what you need me to do (oh, nevermind...you get the picture!) Heehee!
- will soon be in the ranks of the great summary writers of SB! Woohoo!
Ayak-
I am so honored to be writing a summary! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Come on in, the water's fine!
LAST EDITED ON 09-05-02 AT 04:37 PM (EST)Neither flying squirrel nor AyaK is the mystery writer. Other than that ... it's a mystery, just like Push, Nevada is!
>>E13. "Mystery Writer" (he/she/it knows who he/she/it is, but I don't feel like telling just yet)<<I bet whomever you chose as your 'mystery writer' is an extremely awesome, totally rockin', respect deservin' choice! Heehee!
>I bet whomever you chose as your 'mystery writer' is an
>extremely awesome, totally rockin', respect deservin' choice! Heehee!I totally agree ... and I have a feeling that you might know who that choice is. Can't imagine how you would've found out.

>you would've found out.Oooo, now I have a hunch! And I sure hope my hunch is right, because if so, we're in very capable hands.
Evil, rude, snotty, and proud of it!
I only say that your 'mystery writer' is all those things because wouldn't they have to be if you chose them?! Actually, I have two very strong hunches as to who your writer is.
--thinks that Ayak is the bomb-digety!
Well, TV Guide Online is reporting that there will only be 7 episodes of Push - it will be cancelled following the 10/24 episode.http://www.tvguide.com/newsgossip/inthenews/021010.asp#A
I'm currently scheduled to do Ep7, but I'm willing to let our mystery writer have it so that he/she/it can have a finale under his/her/its belt.
Our mystery guest can email me and let me know - that way the board will still have 2 mysteries to solve.
I think that's a good outcome, if the mystery writer would like to do it.
Aya, if you haven't already, I'll contact our mystery guest.
Assuming this show is still around, I will take Red Lady's ep.8 summary if she no longer wants to do it.Only problem with an early cancellations is that we won't get our 'Mystery' summary!
Thanks, TriGirl! I know Red was REALLY not looking forward to doing it. I'll sub your name in on the list and make sure Red is aware of it. Thanks again!
"I will take Red Lady's ep.8 summary"OMH Tri Girl!! Thank you, Thank you!!
Since you were so willing to "rescue" me...I feel it only fitting to offer some assistance to you...
