ABOUT A BEAST OF BURDEN THAT COULD BE
QUITE QUICK ON ITS FEET: "YAK BE NIMBLE."
Today's Cryptoquin Clue: Lequals S
Today's Cryptoquip Clue: L equals S
LOS ANGELES — Although it follows one of the roads most taken by family sitcoms — beleaguered single parents, horrible kids — Fox's "I Hate My Teenage Daughter" asks a surprisingly significant question: What happens when people raise their children in a manner that is essentially an attempt to re-parent themselves?
New sitcom tackles parenting rude teens
It's a smart and relevant premise, given that so many parents of teenagers today came of age during a time of social revelation, in which previously taboo issues, including addiction, abuse and sexual diversity, were discussed in a way that one hopes makes life easier for each subsequent generation. How those raised in dysfunctional homes create a healthier model for parenting is a topic rife with both comedy and pathos.
TELEVISION
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
But the social pendulum being what it is, attention has too often swung from truth-telling and self-knowledge to whining and self-centeredness. Throw in a dose of segism and you get the new age of
personal enlightenment as defined by women who eat too much or spend too much and then sob to their BFEs about their lack of self-esteem.
Which is where, alas, much of "I Hate My Teenage Daughter" seems to feel the most comfortable.
With a brilliance that is, given the context, heartbreaking to behold, Jaime Pressly and Katie Finneran play Annie and Nikki, two single moms attempting to save their daughters from the horrors of their own high school years. Annie was raised in a household so religiously conservative that she was not allowed to listen to music or watch television, and Nikki was the overweight and unattractive product of too much criticism.
Their daughters, by contrast, are pretty and popular, and because we live in a Tina Fey post-Mean Girls world, exquisitely awful. Sophie (Kristi Lauren) belongs to Annie, MacKenzie (Aisha Dee) to Nikki, and two episodes in, that's really all I can tell you — they are stylish, mean and seem to have no other interest save back-talk and texting.

Oscar race contenders still remain uncertain
LOS ANGELES—As the fall season's first wave of film awards and nominations roll in, the Oscar picture continues to be a murky mass of contenders and question marks.
The accolades established "The Artist," as the closest thing to a front-runner in this chaotic season.
On Tuesday, "The Artist," a black-and-white silent film from the French filmmaker Michel Hazanavicius, picked up momentum with top prizes from the New York Film Critics Circle and five nominations for the Los Angeles-based Spirit Awards, which honor independent movies.
