David Kertzer, who wrote a book on the kidnapping, sees "a mixed message, asking for pardon [as the Pope did last week] and then beatifying Pius IX."

It could build up Frasier or 3rd Rock by putting them after Seinfeld. Meanwhile, Just Shoot Me, a modest success starring Laura San Giacomo as an editor who works for a women's magazine owned by her father, is being given a Thursday tryout, as is NewsRadio, a clever show that in three seasons has never lived up to its ratings potential...
