...when he noted the smash overnight ratings for ABC's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Dick Clark had an idea. "Not a stroke of genius," he admits. But as someone who remembers and starred on '50s network TV (American Bandstand), when such quiz programs as The $64,000 Question and 21 mesmerized viewers, Clark could recognize history repeating itself: "Game shows are so old they are new again." Next question: How could Clark get in on the revival of the action...
...splashy musical trying to replicate a hit movie, a pretty crass way to make a buck. Its director, Arlene Phillips, is better known for staging extravaganzas in Las Vegas. The show is loud and pushy and panders to the crowd shamelessly. Worse, it overcame critical hoots to become a smash in London, a feat it now has the audacity to think it can repeat in New York City...
...Seahawks The K.C. Line: Now that those sissy boys of summer have left the stage, the time has come for the real men to take over.

Who cares if you're in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? It's ratings they want...
Take a world-weary small town sheriff, add a zoologist who wears tank tops and looks like an Herbal Essence ad, one mad scientist and a few trillion mean, carnivorous bats, and you have the perfect Halloween smash hit on your hands. It's a guaranteed success. Right? At least that's what the producers of Destination Films appear to have believed when they made Bats, their latest piece of brain candy. But the singular experience that is Bats cannot be described this easily...
