...words great guy are often used to describe Gibson, except by Hunt, who says, "He's the greatest guy. He's a guy who on one hand has this freeze-dried rat in his trailer that he tortures people with - and then can talk about Shakespeare's language, about iambic pentameter. He's both those people." The question facing the $25 million man is this: Who exactly will he be in the coming decades? His image - the winking, wisecracking, pistol-packing hero-clown - is already showing signs of age.

Others are hybrids, like Bravo's brainy Bravo Profiles, which delves into artists' creative processes--it's fan mail, but in iambic pentameter. Likewise, Intimate Portrait has a classy roster of "women of substance," which it treats with extreme deference and the Lilith Fair aesthetics of a SnackWell's commercial.
