...HAPPY TOGETHER Mom! Dad! They're fighting again! Yes, that's BILL CLINTON and BOB DOLE arguing on your TV screen, but you're not stuck in a deadly Star Trek time loop. It's 60 Minutes, where for the next 10 weeks Dole and Clinton will engage in a series of mini-debates modeled on the show's old "Point/Counterpoint" segments. "This won't be a mud fight," says Clinton, cannily keeping open the possibility of an ex-presidential mud-wrestling franchise on Fox. If the Bill-and-Bob matchup is a ratings winner, could a revival...
...would feature a mix of 18 Dion songs and covers, among them such classic Vegas numbers as Fever and I've Got the World on a String. All the backdrops--including Times Square, a train station and a Florentine campo--would be broadcast on a giant $6 million LED screen. There would be a wordless Romeo and Juliet interlude, a tree that would bloom onstage and a flying orchestra. And, yes, there would be a moon character dressed entirely in white.

His reputation also springs from the fact that his role in the Back to the Future sequels was filled in by a Glover look-alike with Gloveresque prosthetics. And quite a few people heard that...
...villainess, in a getup that makes her look like an evil B-52s singer.) You could write an encyclopedia detailing all the Tolkienesque mythology, invented religions and backstory behind the Dune novels--in fact, someone did--but the script does a good job of illustrating the action for the screen without getting bogged down in background. If you're a newcomer, you're better off ignoring the myriad guilds and secret societies at play and enjoying it more as a juicy religio-political soap opera, in which respect it is as satisfying as its predecessor (which Sci Fi is rerunning...
