After "In Your Eyes," the Opportunes sang the hilarious "Hard-Hearted Hannah" and then delved into another string of mellow songs. Blackwell's intense lead in "I Only Have Eyes for You" drew wild cheers from the audience. And Lara Goitein's fragile, beautiful voice in "Breathe" provided a nice follow-up.

As executive producers of Family Matters, the ABC series Urkel calls home, and a string of other sitcom hits, they have mastered the art of low-IQ, high-Nielsen TV comedy. At ABC, they are the kings of Friday night: for much of the season, they have monopolized the evening with four shows running back to back...

From the start, when the Callbacks "awoke" in their pajamas with a string of bad breath jokes, the audience was in an a capella frenzy, ready for good singing and good fun. Well, the crowd got occasional fun and intermittently good singing. The tunes, which ranged from Michael Jackson to Talking Heads, were generally well-executed and energetically performed.
