...fall series most likely to inspire you to buy a big-screen television. The two-hour pilot explodes with a flashback to Max's escape from a government compound in a high-volume snowmobile chase. The script is mixed: the slang can be forced, the attempts at Buffy-esque humor sometimes fall flat. But it yields up one stunning visual after another--Max perched atop a decrepit Space Needle; nine-year-old Max holding her breath under a frozen lake; Max coolly wheeling Logan down a hospital corridor as an explosion silhouettes her from behind...

For once, the answer is probably yes --they got through all 165 pages without even one mention of Maxwell's Demon. If this parody is a harbinger of changes to come, then maybe the Lampoon has decided...

The second, which whimsically documents the liberation fantasies of a 1950s housewife, manages to disperse comic relief so widely that the result is not tragedy punctuated by humor but a remarkably entertaining dose of bittersweet...
