A Precocious Sitcom Freshman
Date: 09 April 1995

YEARS BEFORE THEY submit their first script, most aspiring television-sitcom writers are already steeped in the genre. Thousands of hours of television watching has burned hundreds of plot lines and characters into their brains. They are fluent in the language of sight gags and snappy comebacks, teasers and tag lines, sly topical references and quick moral lessons. And so, such aspirants may think themselves well qualified to write and even produce their own half-hour comedies -- until they meet Paul Simms. Mr. Simms is the writer, creator and executive producer of "News Radio," the new NBC sitcom that had its premiere in March and has been extended by the network for at least six more episodes on Tuesday nights at 8:30. A tall, thin graduate of Harvard, he is an American who was raised in third-world countries. Deprived of early exposure to "I Love Lucy," "The Brady Bunch" -- indeed to most of the sitcom canon -- Mr. Simms seems to have had to depend for inspiration primarily on the real world, including his own quasi-immigrant experiences.

This latest round of fashion shows, which began in Milan five weeks ago and ended here in New York on Friday, will go down in history as the season of insurrections. First there were the walkouts staged by the French press, who had agreed to leave any show starting more than 30 minutes late. (One editor last season counted seven and a half hours' waiting time in a single day.) Then there was the dispute at Claude Montana between a TV cameraman and a bouncer, ending in fisticuffs and prompting the photographers to boycott the show. As for those of us less inclined to public protest, who could blame us if, in those idle moments when we were waiting for the lights to dim, we succumbed to fantasies of what would happen if we turned the tables. . . .

Open Your Eyes and Read All About It!

IF you want to learn about a community read the local newspaper. I have followed this advice for years, and what I have learned about my community is not reassuring. The town seems normal enough. But judging by the tantalizing hints that appear in the newspapers, my neighbors live strange and secret lives.
The most interesting reports come off the police blotter and are written in archaic language, as if the officers had been trained in Shakespearean rather than American English. "A female, 24, reported that her 24-year-old named fiance did enter and remain in her parents home, where she also resides, after he had been told not to enter."

A Century of 'the Funnies'
Date: 09 April 1995
Humbly, we note that this is the centennial year of an institution known to readers of other newspapers as the comics. The exact day a newspaper first published this indigenous American blend of art and story is in dispute, but it was 1895 in The World, Joseph Pulitzer's New York daily, and the comic was a street urchin called "The Yellow Kid." It proved so popular that William Randolph Hearst hired the artist away to draw the kid for The Journal. Pulitzer then signed another artist to continue the character in The World.
