...look at the same era. Two forthcoming shows set in the '80s are a strange manifestation of TV's collective unconscious. In both ABC's drama That Was Then (Fridays, 9 p.m. E.T.) and the WB's sitcom Do Over (Thursdays, 8:30 p.m. E.T.), a salesman in his 30s gets transported back in time to relive high school, fix his parents' marriage, win over the unrequited love of his life and avoid flubbing a speech in front of the school.

The 1995 Kobe earthquake looms in the background of these stories: none are actually set in Kobe, but none would have occurred without the disaster. (It is the earthquake, for instance, that awakens the worm in Super Frog Saves Tokyo.) Some of the characters in After the Quake are allowed to find true love or happy endings, but there's a wicked twist in that notion. All six stories take...
