Centers on Becca who, as she nears 40, is about to embark on her second wedding to Andy Kelly, but her joy is tempered by the absence of her old best friend Lolly who's a no-show, having dropped out of their relationship years ago. Hollywood Reporter: Changing the past, one Cranberries song at a time On the eve of her second wedding, New York Gen Xer Becca (Laura Ramsey) looks at her future with trepidation, wishing she could start over. A magic elevator ride grants her that, depositing her 20 years in the past. It's 1995, the morning of her first wedding, and the nexus (she believes) of all of her later mistakes. VH1's new scripted, hourlong drama Hindsight spends a lot of its premiere episode orienting Becca in her "new" old world, but by its second hour, both Becca and the viewers are fully ensconced ã not in a repetition of her past, but in the already-multiplying new dramas. The show is steeped in drama from its first moments, but it gets its kicks by dropping copious '90s references and boasting a killer soundtrack (here's a '90s flashback: VH1 actually playing music). Read more Viacom Expands Middle East Presence With Three Channel Launches Being gifted with knowledge of how the future turns out (at least regarding her ill-fated relationships, the dissolution of her parents' marriage, as well as the loss of a friendship and the knowledge that Patrick Dempsey does get hot) has its limits for Becca, though, and that's a good thing. The catalyst for the series is that while Becca knows things have to change, she's not quite sure how. Her attempts to avoid certain known outcomes only create other complex problems, but her fortune-telling hubris is rarely allowed to save her from these new mistakes (which creates distance from the time-travel storyline ã another good thing). Yet even those who allow themselves to be swept up in the show's nostalgia won't be able to ignore its (fixable) hiccups. Becca's confidante, Lolly (Sarah Goldberg) feels stuck in "kooky best friend devoted entirely to Becca" mode, even though Goldberg manages to be extremely charming in it. And Jamie (John Patrick Amedori), Becca's bedroom-eyed brother, also seems more like an idea than a character. More unfortunately, he and Ramsey's Becca have more chemistry with each other than they do with anyone else. There is also the unfortunate use of the "magical black man" trope when it comes to the tenuous device of Becca's time travel. She meets the ageless and cryptic Xavier (Collins Pennie) in both timelines, but the convention feels hokey and as outdated as Becca's beeper. (The handsome Xavier would have made a refreshing love interest.) Read more 'Bye Felicia': TV Review The surprising standout, though, is Becca's first husband, Sean (Craig Horner), who is not reduced to a footnote when she decides to change her path the second time around. Sean is a brawny Australian artist, and the kind of (initially) roughly sketched personality that could easily devolve into caricature. Instead, show creator Emily Fox's (Jane by Design) script gives him surprising depth, which is helped along by Horner's sincere and wounded, yet innocently hopeful, approach (despite a budding love triangle involving Becca's old friend Andy, played by Nick Clifford). There's still plenty of room for Hindsight to grow, and plenty of reasons to stick around for it to happen. Crucially, the show is ultimately more than the sum of its scrunchies, beepers and AOL accounts. Its appeal comes partially from those references, but also from the story's potential (both in its charm and its soapy portends). Becca makes peace with her time-traveling adventure by declaring, "I'm not eve

Like other animated series produced at the time by the Warner Bros. animation, Histeria! derived most of humor from its slapstick comedy and satire, with the distinction of combining historical figures and events. Episodes would commonly feature a large cast of children and typecast adults in comedic skits and song parodies, e.g. the cause of the American Civil War sung to the tune of The Brady Bunch theme. Histeria! may have been influenced by 1978 French TV series Il était une fois l'homme (Once Upon a Time... Man). The French series featured the familiar series cast reappears as the contemporary figures of every historical time. Another possible influence is the 1988 miniseries This is America, Charlie Brown, which featured the cast of Peanuts interspersed within various events in American history. The hosts Father Time (Frank Welker) is the main "host" of Histeria!, allowing the cast to "travel" through time. He is dark-skinned, has a long beard and is shown to get quite irritated by the Kid Chorus when they fail to get their facts right. This tends to irritate Loud Kiddington who often screams "SHEESH, WHAT A GROUCH!" after he is out of sight. Big Fat Baby (Luke Ruegger) is the egg-shaped sidekick to Father Time, frequently accompanying him as he introduces the sketches. He is known for the foul odor he carries, caused by his constant defecation in his diaper, which is constantly stated to have been unchanged since ancient times. Big Fat Baby is also accident prone, often falling down steps or off of high places. There seems to be multiple Big Fat Babies, including some female versions with a single strand of hair and bow. Miss Information (Laraine Newman) is an aptly named ditzy tour guide who leads a group of tourists through various moments in history, as if the world is her own personal museum. As her name suggests, she is constantly getting her facts wrong and sometimes coming up with some demented logic to justify her statement (for example, she believes the Washington Monument is not named after George Washington because it is not called the George Monument). The World's Oldest Woman (Tress MacNeille) is a very old woman who claims to remember when air was invented. She also claims to have dated every historical male in history. She seems to have a particular romantic interest in Bill Straitman. She is known to romantically hound every male host of an episode as well.
