Put plainly, the croissant is out and the doughnut is in, and the same goes for restaurant fare. At some haughty spots like New York City's four-star Le Cirque, the humble turnip is increasingly turning up in soups and as a side dish. Addio, radicchio...

One of them begins: "It takes a special person to serve our country . . ."

The premise is a throwback to that old Mary Hartman spinoff, Fernwood 2-Night: a housewife (Cynthia Stevenson) in the little town of Derby, Wis., has turned her living room into the set for a nightly talk show. It's a homey affair: her brother-in-law is the announcer; gray-haired Mrs. Battle, her old school nurse, is musical director; neighbors drop by to chat. So do real-life celebrities such as William Shatner and Florence Henderson...
