...feeling is that the print media has created a lot of the frenzy [over ratings] by overcovering them. When I see the New York Times print the top ten shows every week, I kind of chuckle. Right next to the list is [Critic] John O'Connor asking why can't we be more like the BBC and public television. I chuckle because I think it's very hypocritical. If they honestly stand by their television critic and want better shows, why are they on the very same page printing a list of the top ten? The problem...
...only that his special place is "more than five miles and less than a hundred from the triangle formed by La Grenouille, Lutece and Le Cygne," three of Manhattan's starriest caravansaries.

He is the first accurate representation onscreen of a type that has proved to be dramatically elusive: the New York Jewish intellectual-activist. Such a person is usually the odd man out, an exotic everywhere in America beyond his native streets. Yet frequently he is capable of winning out over prejudice and suspicion with his quick wit and his obvious humanity...
