...evening's tour de force is Act II of Tosca, with a lavishly bejeweled Galupe-Borszkh in the title role and the Hungarian baritone ``Fodor Szedan'' as her nemesis, Baron Scarpia. A much-brandished leg joint of a roast pig, a servant with an infectious body twitch and the wicked baron's narcolepsy (which becomes most pronounced during the heroine's stupendous singing of the work's signature aria Vissi d'arte) all figure heavily in a send-up that shatters every cliche in the trunk.

The rest of UPN's schedule ranges from a mystery-adventure series, Marker, starring teen heartthrob Richard Grieco, to a pair of frenetic Fox- style sitcoms, Platypus Man, in which comedian Richard Jeni plays the oversexed host of a TV cooking show, and Pig Sty, about five twentysomething men who share a New York City apartment. The four sitcoms being introduced by Warner also have the familiar whiff of Fox: former Fox leading men Robert Townsend (Townsend Television) and Shawn and Marlon Wayans (In Living Color) star in broad and unfunny sitcoms, while Unhappily Ever...
