Williams follows his free-form chatter with enough wacked-out characters to people a spin-off of his spinoff. There is the French waiter at Chez Chuck, moving like a spastic Keystone Kop and offering customers such delicacies as "chicken lips with rice." Mr. Rogers, a takeoff on the dim-but-lovable kiddie show host, says: "Welcome to my neighborhood. Let's put Mr. Hamster in the microwave oven. O.K.? Pop goes the weasel!" Other bit players include Ernest Sincere, a redneck used-car dealer; Joey Stalin, a Russian stand-up comic; Little Sherman, a perverse little boy; and Walt...

What the genre screens lack in iconic profundity, they make up for in their beguiling chatter of incident and their unfailing decorative sense. Priests, archers, race jockeys, carpenters, nobles, swordsmen, dancing girls, cooks, vegetable sellers, water carriers, lackeys, Kabuki actors, fishermen-the cast of characters is wide, embracing most of the classes and occupations in Japanese society-seen from the detached eyeline of upper-class patronage.
