...years and 18,170 strips--of Charles Schulz's towering comic-strip masterpiece. The Complete Peanuts will eventually take up 25 gorgeous hardcover books and include hundreds of strips that haven't been seen since the day they appeared in newsprint. The first volume (1950-52) confronts us afresh with what a brilliant, truly modern and totally weird idea it was to create a comic strip about a chronically depressed child...
...shimmering heat of June is burdened, not alone with the scent of roses, but also with the phantoms of floating platitudes, as benedictions fall from the platform of each school and college in the country upon a graduating class. Thousands of schoolboys learn afresh the significance of educo. Numberless local sages stand for a verbose hour in loco parentis.

Kelley fired four of its stars--Dylan McDermott, Kelli Williams, Lara Flynn Boyle and Lisa Gay Hamilton (who were negotiating raises)--and started afresh. Kelley blames himself for the decline; over seven seasons, the show was mired in melodrama. "It was difficult to juxtapose a personal story line and explore relationships," he says, "while trying to show a murder and the search for a missing head...
