With its handheld cameras, quick cuts, rapid banter and vibrant Miami colors, this relationship sitcom pops onto the screen like a bag of Skittles dumped on a marble counter. Unfortunately, its intertwined stories of well-to-do, young, hot bodies aren't half as interesting to listen to as to look at. David Frankel (Miami Rhapsody) has put sharp dialogue in the mouths of shallow characters, making for a PG Sex and the City without its edge or likability.

What makes the festival so unusual, according to comic writer Sean Kelly, who has composed routines for the show's galas, is "the outpouring of devotion to an American sitcom star and the very European stuff going on in the street--the contortionists, the guys making human pyramids or balancing 300 tin cans on a beach ball."

One possibility is that story lines will be junked altogether to get straight to the laugh--since, as any sitcom producer will tell you, the same seven plots have merely been recycled endlessly since the beginning of television. Realizing that likable characters are the key to a TV comedy's success, the networks will establish new characters in 2- to 3-min. "mini-coms." Then, after viewer response is gauged via an Internet...
