...national TV by the end of the week. His Tuesday-night debut was the sort of disaster TV fans will recall for their grandchildren. Nervous and totally at sea, Chase tried everything, succeeded at nothing.

Arsenio's audience -- his rainbow coalition of young viewers, a high proportion of them women -- has ebbed recently, and will slip further when his syndicated show is bumped toward dawn on many CBS and Fox affiliates...

...Made in America sees this, the most obvious difference between Sarah Mathews (Whoopi Goldberg) and Hal Jackson (Ted Danson), as the least of their problems. It's not so much the discovery that, because of a mix-up at a sperm bank, Hal may be the father of her child that sends Sarah into orbit. It's the notion that after he is identified and tracked down, this particular white man, so trashy, so hopelessly incorrect politically and socially, could have ^ provided half the genetic material for her talented, pretty daughter Zora (Nia Long...
