...divorce lawyer and matchmaker. UPN's The Mullets--about a pair of hard-rockin' idiot brothers with the eponymous short-in-front-long-in-back haircuts--got the biggest laughs of the upfronts for the title alone. And Fox had, hands down, the most intriguing series ideas: Skin, a Romeo-and-Juliet romance between the daughter of a porn czar and the son of a D.A.; The Ortegas, a sitcom about a family that produces a talk show--recorded live on tape with real celebrities--in its home; Still Life, a family drama narrated by the dead son; and Cracking...

My advice to the impressionable souls...
...dedication to our country. And Lauren's courage touched my heart. I am just a few years older than Lauren, and I cannot fathom the emotions she is feeling. She must be a very brave young girl. The Richardson family must have a strong faith in God. LINDSEY ROLLINS Romeo, Mich...
