he’s a werewolf, the trade paper reported. UPN and producer Warner Brothers
Television are reportedly looking to depart from the comedic bent of the
original feature and emphasize the fantasy elements and black
humor.”<br><br>Even if masterfully executed, a venture like this will invariably
yield bad results. We like to think of Michael J. Fox’s ’80s vehicles as
something akin to retired jerseys. Sure, you will return to them, admire them,
reminisce over how well Fox himself embodied the schtick of manchild awkwardness
and angst... but please don’t make us watch someone else try desperately to
mimic and imitate those once-in-a-lifetime, squeaky-voiced ticks and twitches,
exploiting them for laughs (however dark) or heartstring tugs (however
bittersweet).<br><br>Ugh, UPN. We understand that your original programming
doesn’t fare very well, but this doesn’t mean that you should resort to
recycling retired plot-by-numbers. It simply means you should recycle your
creative team.<br><br><A HREF=”mailto:bstacia@gemstonepub.com”>What do you
