FRASIER: The worst portrayal is the call girl who dated Niles Crane. She is the stereotypical dumb whore. Niles, a psychiatrist, didn't know he was dating a whore. What does that say about his profession? A funny bit for TV, but it wouldn't happen. At least not to someone in our profession...
...liberally from Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love" (Test: sing "Fantasy's" verses to yourself and then sing "Heartbreaker's" verses. See?) And worst of all--and those of you who read this column last week know just how unforgivable I think this is--she's an awards whore.

("She's my prostitute," Dragon tells a flabbergasted underling. "You're my whore.") Fast and aggressive as a Porsche on an L.A. freeway, Action is a little in love with its own transgressiveness, but when it passes up broad, vulgar humor for smart, vulgar humor, it's the best excuse you'll find this fall for kicking the kids out of the living room...
