Chris Rocks Prime Time SEPT. 22
Comedian Chris Rock's quasi-autobiographical sitcom Everybody Hates
Chris debuts and does what Homeboys in Outer Space never could: gives
UPN a hit. Its premiere (the network's highest-rated comedy airing ever)
lands second in its 8 p.m. time slot, behind Survivor: Guatemala, in
that critical demographic of viewers age 18-49. And Chris beats its
other rival, NBC's Everybody Is Indifferent to Joey.
Racy Game Vexes the Governator OCT. 7
California passes a law preventing ultraviolent and sexual videogames
from being sold to minors. After hidden sexually graphic scenes were

Governator's own wildly violent scenes are available to people of all
ages at the local video store.
Cage's Kid Gets a Kryptic Name OCT. 3

arrived at after Wedgieplease was deemed a bit too on the nose.) On his
first day of junior high school, little Cage will discover his own
kryptonite: name tags.
