...From a file drawer he fetched evidence from criminal cases his office has dealt with. The point was, it seemed, simple citations can lead to bigger things. One example: a bicycle obscured an auto license plate. The car was stopped, and it yielded eleven bags of a "brown mushroom substance I can't pronounce (psilocybin), although I know it's a dangerous drug," some marijuana and pills. Large cases or little, the marshal said, you have to be on your toes. Mothers used to come down to the saloons and leave their children outside on the benches until all hours...

...curvaceous team owner (Delta Burke) talks football as if she were reading a foreign language phonetically, and the gridiron goons who surround her (a womanizing quarterback, a dumb lineman named Bubba, an oily general manager in cahoots with the Mob) are well past sitcom retirement age. The bottom drawer in comedy's bargain basement, however, belongs to the new sitcoms showing up on basic cable.

...fate of the anthology shows is difficult to predict. Spielberg's Amazing Stories has wowed the TV world with big weekly budgets and top-drawer directors. But TV's newest mogul is keeping his series under tight wraps to heighten the suspense until its Sept. 29 premiere, leaving both critics and viewers to wonder whether its giant-size ambitions will enhance, or merely overwhelm, the small screen.

That ploy worked surprisingly well in a TV movie last spring that...
