    If you watched "The Larry Sanders Show," you'll find that Beggars and Choosers is weak tea. [18 June 1999, p.E-10]

    The problem with Beggars and Choosers is that it's all too familiar, and too safe. It relies on a generic cynicism about the media, seemingly unaware that 23 years after "Network," we fully understand the ironies inherent in the TV industry. [19 June 1999, p.A14]

    We must caution you that this all sounds sexier, funnier and more savage than it is.
