Cybertalk: Oct. 4

Overheard online the week of Oct. 4

''In the second show this season, I'm in my bra. In the third, I'm bare naked in a tub full of money. In the fourth, I'm not doing anything, but it's a great show.''
— Roseanne on USA Weekend Online on America Online

''Working at MTV is like dating a major babe who treats you like hell. It's like being paid to fail high school.''
— VJ-turned-actress Karen Duffy on Prodigy

''[Gillian Anderson] just had a terrible attitude [at the Emmys]. David [Duchovny] was adorable and wanted to play and answer questions. She was just very snotty.... It's very sad because people don't realize how fast fame comes and goes. She should be a little nicer to the press and public.''
— Joan Rivers on Prodigy

''[The Single Guy] is given this 'God slot,' between two of the greatest shows on TV, Friends and Seinfeld, [which] certainly makes us feel good. If I could use a baseball analogy, it's like playing in the New York Yankees championship team and hitting between Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. But we would certainly make just as good a show if it were on Saturday morning, after The Smurfs.''
The Single Guy's Jonathan Silverman on Prodigy

Roughly.''
— Humorist Dave Barry, on how many articles he'd have to write to make as much as Stephen King gets for a novel, on AOL
