...expect to see thirtysomething's famed yuppies, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Steadman, doing a lot less brooding. The CBS drama EZ Streets features Ken Olin as a non-Volvo-driving cop, while the NBC sitcom Something So Right has Mel Harris as a party planner unlikely to wear a spit-up-stained Princeton sweatshirt...

...Zaks into a circus of Technicolor bawdry. He parades all the fine, low comedians and, for a hilarious moment, some tragedians too. Like Zaks' revival of Guys and Dolls, this Forum is a celebration of shtick. If a gag was ever funny, from Plautus' time to ours, he'll spit on it and spin it until you have to laugh unashamedly...
