These shows are not bad in themselves-but they offer a cloud no bigger than a TV screen on the Sunday horizon. The increase in their numbers means that network program directors have discovered that Sunday can be a pretty good thing after all. In this frame of mind, they could spoil everything by making Sunday an everyday affair...
...kind one usually shares a picnic with. Caught in a radioactive fallout from an atomic-test explosion at Alamogordo, a desert colony of Camponotus vicinus has suffered mutation into a race of creatures more than ten feet long.
