...those of us who don't yet have too many wedding anniversaries or funerals to commemorate the demarcations of our own personal histories, holidays offer a rare opportunity for adding a dramatic subtext to the calendar. At Halloween, for example, we sneak about, looking up at the stars, comparing preteen trick or treating expeditions with our current pranks...

UPN's Good News has some nice gospel tunes but is both theologically and comically weak. Teen Angel is just another preteen T.G.I.F. show, only dumber. The Visitor is a brash but effective attempt to meld Angel and The X-Files; one of its executive producers is John Masius, creator of Angel...
