...this November's ratings war is crucial. Many of the No. 1 network's hits have suffered erosion this season, and the time has come to recoup. To this end, ABC is betting on an ambitiously sleazy collection of made-for-TV movies. Leading the pack is a six-hour miniseries, The French Atlantic Affair, which will have to face such competition as A Bridge Too Far (NBC) and Silver Streak (CBS). ABC just may win.

...honor his traveler's checks. When the comet's "splinters" finally hit earth, wiping out a Swiss ski resort and a drive-in theater in Pisa, all Meteor can sum mon up is a few flashes of red light and some whoosh noises. Only at the end is there a convincing special effect: a tidal wave of sewage muck that engulfs the New York City subway system. When it comes to excrement, the makers of Meteor really know their stuff...
