Kricfalusi knew. "I figured there had to be millions of kids out there as sick of Ducktales and The Flintstones and My Little Pony as we were," he recalls. "We" were his partners, Jim Smith and Bob Camp, and his girlfriend Lynne Naylor. All were in their early 30s and had served time on Saturday- morning cartoon shows. What the world needed now, reasoned Kricfalusi & Co., was the anarchic vulgarity of the Three Stooges and the comic timing of old Warner Bros. cartoons, plus a dash of Monty Python lavatory humor. In 1989 they formed a shoestring company called Spumco...
...pilgrimage to Nashville last year for the Country Music Association Awards. In many ways, the voters Bush was after are those who make up the majority of TNN's audience: 32% have an income over $40,000, and 13% make more than $50,000. They are in their 30s and early 40s, own their home, have one new car and one old one that they work on themselves, and when they travel, it is by car to places like Walt Disney World...
...time is half-past the Apocalypse in the inventive French comedy DELICATESSEN, but the setting has the look of Gallic movies from the grungy- romantic '30s. Everything else is, well, different. Meat is scarce here, so the piggy butcher serves chopped humans to his customers -- who may soon be his victims. A housewife bent on suicide rigs up a dozen Rube Goldberg devices of destruction.

And a nice guy in clown shoes hopes the butcher's myopic daughter will see the goodness in his heart...
...Carson himself wrote more than half the gags.) Art Fern will introduce his final Tea Time movie in a bit scheduled for this week. There may even be a comeback for lovable old -- old -- Aunt Blabby. But Vickers and Nicholls, a pair of laid-back Canadians in their mid-30s who joined the Carson staff in 1986, barely remember El Moldo. Except for a one- night reprise in 1989, Carson hasn't done him since 1983. But there's one thing Nicholls does remember: "It's Ed's favorite spot...
...produced fully satisfying work, old hands are apt to remark, "I'm not sure there's a play here, but there's certainly a playwright." Just such tempered optimism is being triggered right now by two emotionally intense, fiercely funny and sadly flawed works by dramatists in their early 30s. One writer -- Howard Korder -- has the slam-bang dialogue and macho preoccupations of a David Mamet in training. The other -- Jon Robin Baitz -- can infuse domestic drama with the burdens of history in the fashion of a budding Arthur Miller. But neither can yet write two cumulative and cohesive acts...
