...chosen alternative is Big Apple, produced by David Milch, creator of that other seminal '90s drama, NYPD Blue. The premise: the FBI's New York City office is investigating the Russian mob (and perhaps persons much higher) when it runs into a snag--dogged N.Y.P.D. cop Mike Mooney (Ed O'Neill, who almost makes you forget he's Al Bundy and the 1-800-COLLECT guy). When Mooney, looking into a stripper's murder, steps on the FBI's case, the bureau folds him and his partner into its team. But the two cops find themselves steered wrong...
...already tapped Dean Haglund and Bruce Harwood, actors from Vancouver, where the show was shot, but for the third character, Frohike--a scruffy older guy with the hots for Gillian Anderson's FBI agent Dana Scully--they were stymied.

...what is in the room. If it's a predator, the bug might decide to fight, gaining strength with each match it wins. Touch its antenna, and it will scurry away to flock with other bugs. "You can train them, but you can't tame them," says creator Richard Yanofsky, who claims that B.I.O. Bugs are roughly as intelligent as cockroaches...
...attention of other companies." While unions don't normally favor one of its members over others, or allow some to go on working during a strike, they aren't likely to get many complaints from the ranks. After all, it's not like Seinfeld co-creator Larry David is threatened by guys writing trivia questions. Unless, of course, the question is "What 1998 movie did Larry David direct...
