...Without the wealth buried in Iran, much of the fascination would vanish. Since most of the world was unprepared for the uprising and ignorant of Iran's internal stresses, it is difficult for outsiders to know what to make of the revolution. Iranians themselves are no longer certain. Nearly everyone who has carefully watched the event agrees on two propositions...
Nothing is very precise in this business, but I think we've directed the center of our shows attitudinally at a younger marketplace. Younger is a very broad definition, by the way. We try to direct the main thrust to adults who are under a certain age bracket. But we also want to interrelate characters within those shows that appeal to segments on both ends. If you want to have a program, for example, whose heartbeat is to teenagers and adults under 50, you try to have elements within those shows that appeal to under-teenagers and people over...
...shows we have on encourage family viewing together. What we have tried to do, particularly in the initial hour of the evening, is to put on shows that encourage people to sit down and watch with their kids and have a dialogue.

...woman in our society without being damned by the faint praise of this entirely fatuous, Canadian-made, soft-core film. Based on a novel by Stephen Vizinczey, it traces the romantic career of a youth (Tom Berenger) from his teen-age sexual initiation (by Karen Black, who betrays a certain nervousness in this comedown role) through various tedious amatory escapades with a number of older women. Some of them, despite the title and the falteringly worldly tone of the picture, actually treat him quite badly. This seems only fair, since he is himself either callous or exploitative in other episodes...
