...girl. One whimsical fantasy per episode, please. The show's patronizing attitude toward small towners is more subtle but just as annoying. One episode makes snide fun of the tavern owner's 19-year-old girlfriend, who gets a satellite dish and becomes addicted to tacky TV fare like Wheel of Fortune and the Home Shopping Network. God forbid somebody in a remote Alaskan town should actually pass the time watching TV. What would Voltaire think...

Still, Saturn added a second shift last week, and plans to have 106 showrooms open nationwide by the end of the month.

But more recently, facing profit-sapping competition from cable TV and independent stations, the Big Three lobbied...
...characterized by wins, the Bad Life was characterized by losses--seven losses, all in a row. If the Crimson's Bad Life was your life, you would have failed all four of your classes, including Heroes for Zeros, totaled your brand new car (the one you won on Wheel of Fortune during the Good Life), lost your new boy/girlfriend to your roommate, and to cap it all off, you would have lost the Techmo bowl championship to your ten year-old little sister...
