...kids today (part of a five- part series on, no less, "living in the U.S.A.") was little more than an excuse to trot out scenes from Our Gang comedies. The show's animated graphics are state-of-the-art slick, and its four anchors state-of-the-art cute. But little stays on the screen long enough to register, and anything that does hardly seems worth the trouble. We hate...
...fleshily beguiling as before. They jiggle and strut with weighty grace unseen since the heyday of Jackie Gleason. The skinny ones -- Andre De Shields and Charlaine Woodard -- stomp and slither like sticks turning into snakes. The years have changed nothing except to add emotional texture. McQueen is still cute, but now conveys heartache beneath. De Shields has ripened from Superfly sleekness into a leading man's virility.

I 'specially liked what th' two thugs (Laurence Thomsen n' Eric Oleson) wear: plaid bellbottoms n' white chaps, respectively (n' the yo-yo is a nice touch, Laurence). Not too accurate--no self-respectin' Westerner would be caught dead wearin' these costumes--but creative noneth...
