...change even one iota. No one wants to see him toiling monastically on his memoirs or with a wrench in his hand, building low-income housing for Habitat for Humanity. We expect and desire him, once he's thrown off the trammels of the presidency, to become the great Casanova (at least the great Bubbanova) of the Western world (at least the West Coast), noshing on marzipan as he steeps with a bevy of hot-tub hootchies in his Malibu compound...

The Bowler (Janeane Garofalo) has a magic ball with her father's head inside; Dad nags her from beyond the grave. Spleen (Paul Reubens...
Dawson, uh, James Van Der Beek, is the second string quarterback who sees no action on and off the field until the town hero is sidelined by a tendon-tearing sack. His band of yuk-ups consists of a jolly redneck Billy Bob, a Casanova with a strategically placed cowboy hat, and a black running back who's only purpose, it seems, is to fulfill a hopelessly contrived racism subplot.
