...founding in 1923--the film is set in an alternate 1980s world where Richard Nixon is still President, cold war tensions run high and superheroes are being murdered. Snyder's teaser showed arresting visuals of the giant blue Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup) atomizing some Viet Cong, fellow crusaders Nite Owl II (Patrick Wilson) and Silk Spectre II (Malin Akerman) kissing in front of a mushroom cloud and the coarse Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) plunging to his death from a window, with a blood-spattered smiley face--the book's trademark--tumbling after him. With its dense story line, Watchmen asks...
...Best Vehicle: Attack-mode KITT. Competition was stiff in this category, what with Nite Owl's ship, Bond's Aston Martin and some sort of GI Joe digging device on the floor. But this Mustang on steroids designed for NBC's new Knight Rider boasts Lamborghini doors, a top speed of 377 m.p.h. and, most importantly, turbo-boost.

Which means this year's fall lineup practically looks like a "Nick at Nite" schedule, filled with time-machine journeys to TV formats past: Bette Midler doing a Jack Benny?style sitcom (debuting Oct. 11) about herself, Aaron Spelling doing an '80s-style prime-time soap, CBS giving us the second remake of "The Fugitive," and the WB giving us "Hype," a "revolutionary" sketch-comedy show that looks, well, pretty much...
That rise may also reflect a deliberate public-education campaign, including public-service announcements on TV Land and Nick at Nite that are designed to convince families that it's worth some inconvenience or compromise to make meals together a priority. The enemies here are laziness and leniency: "We're talking about a contemporary style of parenting, particularly in the middle class, that is overindulgent of children," argues William Doherty, a professor of family social science at the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis and author of The Intentional Family: Simple Rituals to Strengthen Family Ties.
