and Sulley are here too.
America's wacky, dramatic
and sometimes slapstick TV
neighbors are back this fall.
But, they've also got some new kids
livine down the street from them. And
these kids really want to join the
neighborhood gang, or in some cases,
rejoin it.
The new kids come with names like
Brooke Shields, Michael J. Fox, Annie
Potts, Bill Cosby, Ted Danson and Molly
Ringwald.
Once, they were the leaders in the
entertainment world. Now, they're like
any other young upstarts looking for
their big break. The only difference
between them and the other upstarts is
they have to reinvent their images and

But, they've got some good plots and
some pretty comfy time slots, so television
viewers may be in for a treat when the
fall TV season comes into full view.
"Suddenly Susan" is Brooke Shield's
rendezvous with TV. The former Bob
Hope special diva, and early '80s sex
symbol, will play the role of a newlysingle
San Francisco magazine columnist
The plot looks thin, but the star looks
great, so this one could go either way.
The show airs on Thursdays at 9:30 pm.
Another NBC show which hopes to
attract viewers is "Men Behaving Badly,"
starring Rob Schneider, formerly of
"Saturday Night Live." The show
examines the interworkings of men via
comedy. It airs on Wednesdays at 9:30
p.m.
NBC is also home to "The Jeff
Foxworthy Show." This surveyor of

stereotypes had a show last season, but \
it was not renewed by ABC. NBC took
Foxworthy in like any good southern
relative would do and offered him
something better than biscuits n' gravy
? they offered him a time slot.
ABC didn't lament too heavily over
Foxworthy s departure.
Rather, they came up with a few
shows which may actually have a chance
o f usurping NBC's tight hold on the
television kingdom.
The most promising and original
show offered by ABC this season is
"Relativity," which stars Kimberly 1

stars Michelle Pheiffer. It airs Mondays

AD of these shows are aimed to attract
ounger viewers who may have only
teen five years old when Michael J. Fox
/as starring in "Back to the Future" and
he TV show "Family Ties."
Ifs kind of sad Fox wasn't signed to
tar on a CBS show, because he could
lave joined up with his former
letworkmates Ted Danson and Bill
>osby.
Cosby and Phylicia Rashad are
itarring in "Cosby," which is airing on
vlondays at 8 p.m. Cosby plays a man
vho recently retired, and now spends
nore time aggregating his wife. Sounds
familiar. Too bad
they don't live in
Brooklyn with five
kids. Toobad
I Cosby isn't an
obstetrician. Too
bad Rashad doesn't
B play a lawyer. Too
^BBBBI^BI bad the name of
this show isnt The

Ted Danson returns to TV as a
ournalist working with his ex-wife in
Ink," which is on CBS on Wednesdays
it 8:30 p.m. His ex-wife is played by
Mary Steenburgen, who is his real life
wife.
As mentioned, most, if not all, of last
season's big names are back to entertain
America with their trials; their
tribulations; their bedhopping; their jobs;
in short, their lives.
Seinfeld is on NBC. So are "Caroline
in the City," "Wings," "The Single Guy,"
