...most credulous couch potato believes that, say, 16-year-old Doogie Howser, M.D., is for real. But the easy affluence that is the birthright of Doogie's family might seem representative enough, especially when on the following ABC show (The Marshall Chronicles) the TV father was dressed in a tuxedo for an evening of Manhattan night life. Despite the pseudo-lower-middle- class realism of Roseanne and Married with Children, the implicit message in much of prime time remains almost effortless economic entitlement. For while most of the nation resides in what bicoastal types call "the great flyover," TV characters...
...actors cast in these smaller roles team up in the second act for an amusing group vocal performance of "Slips Away," which they sing as the beaten Hoss lies catatonic on the floor. Clad in 50's-style tuxedo jackets, Buttaro, Baptiste, Kiser and John Byrd (Hoss' friend, Cheyenne) perform this absolute best of all The Tooth of Crime's songs...
Lampoonery II: Ostentation may have gone out with the Reagans, but the Harvard Lampoon doesn't seem to have caught on yet. A lavish bash the other night for millionaire motorcycle aficionado Malcolm S. Forbes, which reportedly cost somewhere in the $10,000 range, featured such tuxedo-clad cast in the hundreds.

They'll be smiling and laughing in their attempts to impress veteran clubbies with their wit, their style and, in many cases, their father's net worth. It may be their first entrance into the discriminatory, closed-minded world of the clubs. For many, unfortunately, it won't be their last...
Typical of the trend is New York City's Dial-A-Dinner. Its clients order by telephone from the menu of one of the 30 restaurants on its list. About an hour later, a tuxedo-clad waiter appears, bearing large shopping bags full of plastic containers and a bill -- usually well over $100 -- payable by credit card. "I'm known as the doctor of delivery," declares David Blum, 31, the entrepreneur who started Dial-A-Dinner 18 months ago. Now he has 22 people, 15 cars and six vans, all radio equipped, hurtling about 200 dinners a night across Manhattan...
