...regulation is the networks' trade-off for free access to broadcast spectrums worth billions of dollars. So the new network schedules seek to lure guys within those constraints. There are cop shows and action shows, series set in casinos and boxing rings. Fox is relying on male-oriented sitcoms like Method & Red, with hip-hop stars Method Man and Redman. NBC unveiled Summer Olympics promos that made swimming and gymnastics look like X Games events, and its midseason sitcom The Men's Room examines male issues and anxieties from what its president of entertainment, Kevin Reilly, says will...
...announced a block of "male comedy" sketch shows from Jeff Foxworthy and Drew Carey. On Foxworthy's Blue Collar TV, a comic marvels at women's ability to withstand hours of labor: "I give up on a poop after 20 minutes," he says. And ABC picked up Savages, a sitcom about a widower and his sons living blissfully in a pigsty. As the beer commercials tell us, the quickest way to men's hearts is through insulting stereotypes...
DIED. TONY RANDALL, 84, versatile, opera-loving actor who was a fixture of the American stage and screen for more than 50 years but is best remembered as the punctilious fussbudget Felix Unger in the 1970s TV sitcom The Odd Couple; in New York City.

They were as willful and idiosyncratic as real children, yet as ageless--and ultimately static--as sitcom families. In this sequel, which is about a hundred times as detailed and animated, creator Will Wright has added the dimension of time. Your Sims grow from mewling infants to wizened crones in the space of an average 25 hours of game play, Wright says. The sudden arrival of birthday...
...network's one new sitcom is "Second Time Around," a romantic comedy about a divorced couple that gets remarried. The two new dramas are even more femme-friendly. "Veronica Mars" is sort of a detective version of "The O.C." - a working-class girl living in a rich California enclave struggles to fit in, while occasionally helping her private-eye dad with investigations. (The trailer actually looked less derivative - slightly - than I make it sound.) And perhaps the X-chromosomiest of all its new offerings is "Kevin Hill," in which the sculpted Taye Diggs plays a sharky entertainment lawyer who adopts...
