Martin Mull serves as a strait-laced straight man to the, it seems, universally mellowed-out, consciousness-raised, and fad-mad citizens of Marin County. One might have thought that stick-in-the-mud conservatism would not provide the securest base from which to launch a satirical attack (even at a target as eminently satirizable as Marin County), but one never gets to test that assumption, as the hero's values, not to complicate the issue, are made strictly off-limits. The humor is predominantly of the raised-eyebrow type, geared to the stick-in-the-muds in the audience, and about as adventurous as the average TV pilot. With Tuesday Weld, Sally Kellerman, and Bill Macy; directed by Bill Persky. (1980) — Duncan Shepherd
