And now for something completely familiar
"Monty Python's Flying Circus": Still the best TV sketch show there's ever been.

Blue Glow
Salon's TV picks for Weekend, Sept. 24-26, 1999
"Bowfinger"
Martin and Murphy team up for a good-natured sendup of the mindless summer blockbuster -- and just barely avoid making one themselves.
"Big Daddy"
Adam Sandler is cinema's nicest loudmouthed jerk.
Bitter and blacker
Chris Rock, the new heavyweight champ of humor, hits where it hurts.
Looking for life in all the wrong places

Finale thoughts
The best and worst of TV's season-ending episodes.
Mike the Headless Chicken more popular than Clinton
Prez loses American popularity contest; Mike the Headless Chicken gets his own holiday; Nicole makes contact from the afterlife.

Sound Salvation: Comically incorrect
Chris Rock riffs on unfunny old themes--in "Roll With the New."
