...Palestinian youth in a yellow T shirt teeters on Herod's massive wall, hewn from limestone more than 2,000 years ago, and throws stone after stone at the Israeli riot police. Below him, a middle-aged Jew flees the barrage, holding on to his black yarmulke as he runs, shouting, "Death to the Arabs!" A minute before, these two were praying in the midday heat--one at al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest shrine in Islam, and the other 100 yards away at the Western Wall, revered by Jews as the place of prayer closest to the site...

The humor ranges from tongue-in-cheek (the V.S.A.'s musical numbers-which, by the way, are a riot) to downright crude (most of the jokes involving Leon's "wang" fall under this category), and some of the plot turns are painfully predictable.

Live theater performances, including Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida at the Opera House, came to a halt while a big screen showed a particularly anticipated race. The denigrating humor was merely a contrasting shade in a riot of eagerness and team spirit...
...more than slightly resembles 90210. The pilot spares no one: not Star, whose clone on Pointe is a smarmy phony; not Shannen Doherty, whose reign of terror on the 90210 set is replicated eerily by Hunter Fallow (Irene Molloy). Nicely cast and smartly paced, it's a sassy, catty riot...
