One might suppose that this is the point of presentation, but that would be slightly off base. If its title suggests a between, (Mrs. Kobe) Bryant and Kay (Mrs. Karl) Malone, actually a fairly straightforward documentary on the hectic, if gilded, lives of four women married to current or former professional athletes.

The program adoringly shows off the multiple, well-appointed homes and vehi- cles while simultaneously stressing the just-plain-folks regularity of their children-centered lives. of the Rich and Famous Family Values not sure a lot of people would want my life, or our says Debbie Clemens, deeply underestimating the capacity for envy. Clemens, the wife of likelyHall-of-Fame pitcher Roger, is alluding to the separations imposed by her rigorous travel schedule though his current contract with the Houston Astros allows him to miss road trips when not starting and the pressures of living in the public eye. Fans of celebrity-gazing, however, may be so taken with the luxurious Hummer she drives or the opulent digs which include an indoor workout space that would put your local Bally Total Fitness or 24 Hour Fitness to shame that they might be willing to put up with the inconvenience. Beyond the rampant materialism, however, there is much to admire about the women.

Pattie Petty, wife of NASCAR driver Kyle and a member of one of stock car most famous families, deals with the death of her 19-year-old in a 2000 racing accident by fundraising and maintaining a camp for chronically ill children. Charisse Strawberry, whose husband, former baseball star Darryl, has faced a long battle with substance abuse, tirelessly works as an advocate for families and friends of those suffering from alcoholism and other addictions. The family of Green Bay Packerquarterback Brett Favre and his wife, Deanna, has faced a string of tragedies and adversity, with Deanna having to hold them together. All four women are high-energy types who make time for charity while being fiercely protective of their husbands and families. You help but notice that many of the challenges the women face are very similar to those of the average soccer mom by extreme privilege.

Three of the women Clemens, Favre and Strawberry literally shown chauffeuring their children to various athletic and school events in SUVs and though their schedules are packed, the wealth thatallows them to be so devoted in the first place. The show uses sports-style graphics bubble-gum-card-in- spired information conveyed in a crawl along the bottom of the screen and a telestrator to identify supporting figures and point out minutia enliven things visually. But at two hours, is too long by half, and the emphasis on ostentation detracts from the more interesting aspects of these lives. distinctive arethe stories of the women themselves. Dallying over their possessions accomplishes little, other than potentially boosting lottery ticket sales.

TELEVISION REVIEW skips a few bases The look at pro supporting players focuses too much on cribs and not enough on character. Where: When: 9 p.m. Ratings: TV-PG (may be unsuitable for young children) Deanna Favre Debbie Clemens Charisse Strawberry Pattie Petty Executive producersNancy Dubuc, Michael Morrison, Nancy Saslow and Carolyn Carmines. Special Presentation: Sports stincts, numerous personality disorders and an authority based on nothing so powerful as the fact that nobody else in the office can muster the energy to covet his job. All of this is told quietly handheld camera with which the characters make furtive eye contact, no laugh track, no audience, bleating phones or copy machines reminding you that some kind of work is being conducted.

The show, seemingly too idiosyncratic and slow at first, is astatement about the odd sociology of office life, shown in a series of brilliantly self-contained moments and in interviews Brent gives to the documentary crew capturing his leadership in action. people say, would you rather be thought of as a funny man or a great answer is the same to me, not mutually Brent tells the camera in one of his self-deluded raps. the weight of intellect behind my You know how funny that scene is without seeing Gervais in action, fondling his tie and pitching his inflection between arrogance and digressive insecurity; his performance is a kind of continuous character study.

At first, Scott, who purchases his own Best coffee mugs from Spencer Gifts, think it will help morale to impart the news. a doctor, you would not tell a patient they had is his reasoning. Carell is a former correspondent on Daily Show with Jon if you ever saw him debate fellow correspondent Stephen Colbert, or do Produce Pete, a slowly unraveling green grocer, you know Carell can sustain that tightly wound comedic poker face for as long as necessary.

Michael Scott, like David Brent, believes he has a God- given ability to entertain. Episode two, in which Scott, seizing aperformance opportunity, hijacks a diversity training session, showcases Carell at his zany best. wish every day was diversity he proclaims, and soon has the staff wearing index cards on their foreheads that say or or, in case, Luther King. But this role also requires Carell to show humanity, to allow us to feel into his character, however unctuous he is, and like Jim Carrey in a Jim Carrey comedy, Carell has trouble getting at the gradations that would make the person behind the ticks and the dead-on timing emerge. As a result a menace to character that I want to feel, a sociopathic, beady-eyed quality too cartoon, and that gives the show acolder edge.

This will have to rely less on him as a guiding voice than relied on Gervais. The American version features doppelgangers of the original cast Dwight (RainnWilson), the outsized nerd with a Napoleonic complex, and Jim (John Krasinki), the mop-haired sales rep who has a sweet thing going with Pam (JennaFischer), the put-upon receptionist. fairly careful transplant surgery, all in all, and for this deserves credit, particularly given the shabby recent history of Americanized versions of British sitcoms, like and a CBS remake of starring John Larroquette.
