...Baywatch" rescues, squeaky-voiced rodents and starring roles dancing in your head, you embark for Los Angeles and plunge head-first into...its congested freeway system! The price for fame and fortune never did come cheap, and L.A. is no exception. Before you know it, you're shelling out beaucoup bucks for an exercise in the imaginary, doggedly following fictional rodents-turned-superstars around the park while assiduously crushing real-live ones under your feet, making a tour of the stars' homes (er, hedges...er, right-hand corner of mailboxes) while never seeing a movie star in the flesh...
