...Titans (NBC, 8 p.m.) Produced by trash-TV king Aaron Spelling, starring Yasmine Bleeth (yes, this may be the first network series named after its costar's breasts), Victoria Principal and Jack Wagner, this Beverly Hills family-saga soap is as good as you'd expect it to be, and worse.

But such emotional detachment makes the novel read like the screenplay to a mediocre action movie. This tacky quality is disappointing considering the maturity and wit of Kalfus’ overall narrative aesthetic...
