...life: love, conflict and porn. In this self-styled Romeo-and-Juliet story, the son of a district attorney falls in love with the daughter of the adult-entertainment czar his dad is prosecuting. "Wonderfalls," like CBS's "Joan of Arcadia," is about a young woman receiving mysterious messages, except that instead of having God talk to her, she chats with inanimate objects - the eagle on the back of a quarter, the tchotchkes in the souvenir shop she works in. It doesn't quite have God's star quality, but it also seems to have more of a fresh look...
Democrats have a terrible habit of never, ever, sticking to their guns except when crushing the judicial aspirations of hard-working Honduran immigrants. Have they learned nothing from the demise of Trent “Sneaker Breath” Lott? The Democrats would do far better to take a page from the consistently repulsive Rick Santorum, who, by equating homosexuality and polygamy, has offended scores of polygamists nationwide.

Meanwhile, "Happy Family" is not just a Chinese menu item anymore: it stars John Larroquette and Christine Baranski as empty-nester parents whose grown kids continue to give them anxiety. Three minutes after the clips played, I could remember little about it except the music. That "Da Da Da" song is catchy...
...actually a remake of a British series that's become a cult sensation, though, so it's not a shameless clone of "Friends" if you let the Brits clone it first! Another reason for "Coupling"'s buzz is that the British version is a very risque sex farce - although, except for a condom joke, the scenes shown of the Yank version weren't even as envelope-pushing as many "Friends" episodes. If nothing else, the buzz around the show will be the best thing ever to happen to BBC America, which reruns the British version...
