...project is marred by unsubstantiated innuendos and unconcealed bias. But the profiles, called Citizens Look at Congress, lay out for the voters about as much as they might want to know about their Representatives and Senators-and perhaps more. They detail the voting history and characteristics of each state and district, where each subject got his financial backing in the past several campaigns, how he voted on the floor and in committee, how much time he devotes to committee work and how he is "rated" by various interest groups. It tells how often a Congressman returns to his state...

...earlier hour so the kids can swing too-the show spotlights the uneven talents of the Bonos, husband and wife. With songs halfway between rock and pop, a kind of demi-rock, and costumes copied from Elvis Presley, the show is TV's idea of hip.
