Fall TV-Nation
The start of the fall TV season is always exciting, but
confusing. Your ''Fall TV Preview'' issue (#292, Sept. 15) helped
sort it all out. And the day-by-day grids, showing each night's
lineup by network and time, are excellent. I cut them out, glued
them to large index cards, and plan to keep them by the TV. What
could be easier?

The fall TV offerings make me glad to have A&E, Bravo, AMC, the
Learning Channel, PBS, the Disney Channel, the Family Channel,
and CNN. As for ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox: a pox on you.

Hmmm...a show following a sensational murder case its whole
season; a teenage girl the victim; foul play involving bondage
and drugs; Murder One is a groundbreaking ''format bender?'' Am I
the only person who remembers Twin Peaks? Give David Lynch
credit for breaking this ground. Steven Bochco's just taking the
idea to court.

Thanks for your article about celebrity offspring. Being a
singer/actress, the daughter of Stanley Kramer and godchild of
Katharine Hepburn, I must say it hasn't been easy. I'm glad
somebody finally addressed the fact that sons and daughters can
make it on their own.

Do you have anyone I can talk to about never being mentioned in
your magazine again? I'm serious bad or good. Even if I were in
the ''Hot'' column of ''What's Hot/What's Not.'' Just never brought
up again.
See, every time you talk about me, you get something wrong. I was mentioned several times in the Aug. 25/Sept. 1 issue (#289/290). Your blurb on A League of Their Own claimed that baseball has been ''berry, berry bad'' to me, which is just plain wrong. I adore baseball and am very proud of that movie. Your fall movie preview piece about Cutthroat Island continued your tradition of mean-spirited, error-filled articles about the project. You insist on perpetuating the rumor that Michael Douglas left because his part got too small, although he has consistently said himself that that is completely untrue. And you would know that Charlie Sheen and Michael Keaton were never approached about replacing him if you had checked with the director, the studio, or the casting director.
Therefore, as a result of the tone of your magazine and the
high percentage of inaccuracies regarding myself, I hereby
respectfully withdraw from ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY. Okay?

Editor's Note: We didn't intend to suggest that Ms. Davis dislikes baseball or A League of Their Own, and we regret any confusion we may have caused. Michael Keaton's publicist says that published stories saying he was offered the part are incorrect, but the information about Sheen came from Sheen himself. We stand by our story.
