SEOUL: As riot police fired tear gas canisters, 3,000 protesters in downtown Seoul hurled chunks of concrete ripped from sidewalks and beat police with pipes, shouting "No to the evil law!" Similar clashes involving thousands of marchers occurred in Anyang city, near Seoul, and in Daejon, south of the capital, where seven workers were hospitalized after being clubbed by police, and eight others were detained for questioning.

On no other cop show but Walker, for instance, does the fight between good and evil get so primal as to involve face-offs between man and grizzly bear in the Utah mountains. Moreover, while most sitcoms in the '90s strive for some semblance of urbanity, Married...with Children has worked hard at maintaining a level of crassness unparalleled in prime time. Where else...
