You know, I would love to see this show. I was old enough at the time but I guess either we didn’t get it in Canada or my parents never watched it. I know from conversations that it was a great show. When you think about it, it was quite amazing that Tom would have his own show so soon in his career. Thanks for letting us know.

I cannot believe it has been that long!!! As I’ve already shared with some, I remember the premier because of my sister, who got dressed up and told me she had a date! I missed the opening of the show because as the pesky little sister, I was too busy stalking the front door, waiting for the date to arrive. Little did I know that her date was with Tom and she was sitting on the floor, right in front of the TV, totally mesmerized by him! After I finally joined her on the floor, I immediately knew why! He put me in a trance back then and every time I see him now - in person, TV, DVD, whatever - I’m still under his spell!!! WHAT A MAN!!!

Tom, pleaae do a new album… I watched the Grammys last night and there was no one that could compare to you. If you do a new album you will be the winner in every category. Show them once again at the Grammys that you are the still the “number one star.” We all know this, they seem to have forgotten. Love you!
