Star Gazers

Well, not really, but I do enjoy watching it.

"Jack Horkheimer's Star Gazer" (nee "Star Hustler", a much better name) is a 5-minute show that usually airs at 1:00, after "The Red Green Show" on NHPTV and "Saturday Night Live." JHSG stars, obviously, Jack Horkheimer, who talks about the astronomical events coming up in the next week. It's a truly addicting show, and the quirks of Horkheimer are...at least hilarious at 1:00 AM. Despite living in the city and having few opportunities to "keep looking up," I watch it faithfully every week, waiting for it to catch on. It's the same thing I did with such shows as "Stargate SG-1" and "Duckman" (which I gave up on). Anyway, it apparently did catch on... and went out of fashion decades ago. I should have guessed because of the fact it has the same font it had when people were dancing to the Doobie Brothers. I have yet to find any fans of it, though. It's website claims to have a cult following the likes of Star Trek, but I disagree. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough, but if there is a fan site of the obscure German short film 'A', then it doesn't exist. In conclusion, Jack, I probably won't "keep looking up," but I will keep watching your show, which is all that matters. (kidding)
