...gets fired from New York law firm, man loses wife to mailman, man moves back home to Stuckeyville, Ohio, courts his unrequited high school love, buys a bowling alley and opens a law practice within it. Will TV producers never stop recycling these stale formulas? Actually, there is one thing a little familiar about "Ed"; its yuppie "Green Acres" premise and eccentric humor are more than a little reminiscent of "Northern Exposure." But "Ed" has a respect for Stuckeyville's residents that the condescending urbanite's fantasy "Exposure" never did. Adorable and often hilarious, "Ed" is the TV equivalent...

Ten years ago, the 6-year-old beauty queen's terrible death and weirdly captivating life--the hair, the costumes, the come-hither poses--became the stuff of national obsession at the very moment the O.J. Simpson story was going stale. It even promised, like the Simpson case, to be a family affair, because from the first, suspicion fell on John and Patsy Ramsey, JonBenet's parents. But the killer was never identified, the trails all went cold, and the story faded. This June, Patsy died of ovarian cancer...
