The Ups and Downs of'93
U. readers pick the good, bad and ugly in entertainment
Send bell-bottoms back to the '70s. Pay homage to Seinfeld And who really cares if Michael Jackson did it or not? At least that's the consensus of U. readers in our revealing
entertainment survey, complete with blunt revelations and intuitive perceptions of Hollywood.
The U. Entertainment survey was distributed to 545 students at 22 campuses. This is not a scientific survey.

MOST OVEREXPOSED
"[Bell-bottoms] should have been left in the '70s, never to re emerge," says junior Scott Nordl at the U. of Wyoming, and 37 percent of voters agree.
WORST COMEBACK
Frasier wins best of the newcomers—a dubious honor among this year's slim pickings. Some poor, loyal fan wrote in The Chevy Chase Show.
Beavis and Butt-head suck (huh-huh). At least the what readers say about the most overexposed to gory. "It's getting better now, but for a while you couldn't go anywhere without everyone giving the Beavis and Butt-head impersonation," says B. of Illinois sophomore Grant Badger. The NoahNorth adolescents claim 29 percent of the total vote, using past the Jurassically optimistic Barnett.
Michael Jackson — did he do it?
"Who cares?" say more than half of respondents. 93 times who take sides, 51 percent say the King of Pop didn't do anything bad or dangerous. In a best to worst ranking of the Jackson album readers give Janet top honors by Michael J. Harrington. Tite and others.
