...sound can start bouncing off the living-room walls. In order to pick up a network stereo broadcast, a local station must first be adapted for stereo. Some 200 stations have made the technical conversion, and 300 more plan to do so this year. Then, of course, the home viewer must either have a stereo TV or convert his conventional set to stereo with an adapting device (average cost: $150). Once a set is stereo-ready, more sophisticated audio gear can be connected to it. Bill Artope, a producer for Needham Harper Worldwide advertising, who lives in Evanston...
...past six months, Jackson and fellow PUSH leaders have staged a viewer boycott of CBS-owned WBBM-TV in Chicago. Jackson last week said that he is trying to expand the campaign not only to four other CBS-owned stations but to the network as well. PUSH representatives met with the general managers of WCBS-TV in New York City and KCBS-TV in Los Angeles last week and their counterpart at WCAU-TV in Philadelphia two weeks ago; talks are being sought with KMOX-TV in St. Louis. Next week Jackson will air his complaints at CBS's annual...

The viewer is trapped for the duration of each number--songs which lose their cleverness in the first 30 seconds. The next two and a half minutes just continues to play out a dead punchline...
...would seem unlikely that trivial questions such as these--at least they seem trivial within the realm of modern life--would be enough to sustain the film. But somehow, they do. Director James Ivory is so successful at creating the atmosphere of upper-class Victorian England that the viewer never challenges the mores of Edwardian society. A kiss, so commonplace today, is presented as the logical grounds upon which one should decide on one's life mate...
...from between the legs of his philandering wife, the elephant that sits on his car -- or the wild cinematic verve that alchemizes each comic grotesquerie into images as vivid as a bad trip. But Bliss is no mere catalog of surrealist gross-outs. It yanks astonished laughs from the viewer to ease the way along a modern pilgrim's progress, one that finds salvation in the doggedness of obsessive love. Harry tracks his recalcitrant Honey to her home; when she rebuffs him, he plants honey-tree saplings that will take eight years to mature and produce the nectar she craves...
