...people responsible for The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer--a moronic sitcom scheduled to make its debut on UPN this week unless the network experiences a late and totally unprecedented attack of good taste, common sense and plain old decency--describe it as a "high concept" period comedy. That must mean they were smoking some dynamite stuff when they dreamed...
...folks needed another reason to conclude that when it comes to race, some white folks still just don't get it. After a tape of the Pfeiffer pilot got out, it set off yet another overheated racial contretemps in Los Angeles.
