...looking for places to have fun and, most importantly, to eat. Yet for all those forlorn souls looking for food at 3 a.m., there are no options but The Tasty, which although venerable, does not suit every appetite. We were therefore dismayed to hear last week that C'est Bon, a sandwich and salad restaurant at 110 Mt. Auburn St., had withdrawn its application for a 24-hour permit. While the Tasty's burgers and eggs can be tasty, C'est Bon reduces the grease factor for late-night eaters, offering Au Bon Pain-esque sandwiches and scones...
...est Bon's owner, George Sarkis, said before he withdrew the proposal that there was a lot of "neighborhood opposition" to it; three days later, however, after he backed out, he said that it was not neighborhood opposition but a "business decision" because he did not believe in the "24-hour concept." In this confusing series of statements, we see one key player looming large: the Harvard Square Defense Fund. No, it's not a group that totes around guns to keep Harvard Square safe, although it might as well do so; it's a neighborhood organization that will...
Swift (Jack McCaffrey), the hero of the new drama Swift Justice (UPN, Wednesdays, 9 p.m. est), belongs to another television era, a time before cop shows like NYPD Blue, Homicide and Law & Order grounded the genre in reality with unglamorously complex characters and somber portrayals of urban life. But to all good things must come a backlash. And so Swift Justice harks back to a period of frequent car chases, poorly staged punch-outs and cartoonishly evil bad guys...
...only retro, Mannix-style lawman to pop up on the midseason schedule spouting lines like, "You want to kill me, huh? Kill me. Show me how stupid you are." Last week also marked the arrival of Nash Bridges, centerpiece of an eponymously titled series (CBS, Fridays, 10 p.m. est) about a San Francisco police inspector who races around in a 1970 Barracuda and combats the bad guys with tough talk ("I don't give a damn about you boys--but this guy, his ass is mine"), swift kicks and an occasional disabling spritz of WD-40 right...
...much better in this regard is High Incident, a recently launched ABC police series (Mondays, 9 p.m. est). Fortunately, no character is named High or Incident. But despite a high-class pedigree--the show is produced by the Dreamworks team of Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen, with creative guidance from monologist Eric Bogosian--High Incident maintains an embarrassingly CHiPs-like feel as its cast of eight Ray-Ban-wearing patrol-car cops meander about a fictional Los Angeles suburb responding to wacky calls...
