What comes to mind when you hear the title, Blast From the Past? It smells of a big budget movie for dodos and bratty kids. And the movie is exactly that, but, stupid or not, it does have moments that would make it a fleetingly entertaining TV sitcom...

...back order at Prada stores, it doesn't appear that real-life affluent women are doing all that much divesting. But here we have it anyway: a new, collective TV homage to lives of greater meaning and lower cell-phone bills.
