...want to know the new ending of the tale, stop reading. In fact, this would be a good point for its fans to stop watching. In the post-Soviet-era conclusion, a group of dissident critters escapes the farm and lives to witness its collapse and Napoleon's fall. We flash forward to see order and peace restored--by a handsome blond family of new human farmers. It's a tiny change, a couple of minutes in all, but a baffling one that squares with neither history nor Orwell's vision. Who are these interlopers? The Czars? Boris Yeltsin...

What does a career woman want? Evidently, her mommy. Continuing Providence's theme of regressing professional girly women, Amy takes as its heroine Judge Amy Gray (Amy Brenneman), who's returned from New York City to Hartford, Conn., to live with her social-worker mother (Tyne Daly). Amy benefits from a strong cast and a slightly harder-nosed attitude than its treacly forebear, but if this judge doesn't stop wearing her robe like a security blanket soon, she's going to try our patience...
