...girl with every large fries?" The show is packed with many such consciousness-raising insights-insights that may have been trenchant back when Simone de Beauvoir was drafting The Second Sex. Third Rock's creators, veteran Saturday Night Live writers Bonnie and Terry Turner, have described the show as "Carl Sagan meets the Marx Brothers." In reality, it's Maude meets Mork & Mindy...
...DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS The free-lance private eye's lot was never a happy one--ask Philip Marlowe. But he didn't have to fight racism while trying to fight crime. Easy Rawlins (Denzel Washington), a black man, does.
