This can only mean one thing: Summer rerun hell is finally over with. It's time to lak out the VCR and getting ready for the network premieres that include all of your returning favorites and at least thirty new shows. While the season doesn't exactly start until October, getting a jump on the main networks, the small time WB and UPN have decided to go head to head with the Olympics. Thus, while CBS runs reruns of " rvivor" you can be catching WB orites like "Buffy" and "Popular." The WB is also hoping to break out of its teen dramedy rut with three new comedies including the "Beverly Hills, 90210" satire "Grosse Pointe." Meanwhile, UPN (the current home of the WWF) pre- mieres an African-American "Sex in the City" titled "Girlfriends," which stars Diana Ross' daughter. Although t rlfriends" is one of the few shows onthe network to be female-orient- ed, UPN's other two new shows revert back to its main viewers (teenage boys) with the debut of two new action/science fiction shows: "Freedom," a made-for-TV "Matrix," and "Level Nine," a cop show for the Computer Age. Beginning in October, the Big Three come out in full force. On AC, viewers can look forward to e "Who Wants to be a Millionaire," but for those looking for a change of pace; try Andre Braugher ("Homicide") in the med- ical drama "Gideon's Crossing," which will premiere uninterrupted. Last winter's number one network, ABC will also try out three new comedies (do they really need any more?) with big name stars. Geena debuts Davis will star in (big surprise) "The Geena Davis Show," while Gabriel Byrne ("The Usual Suspects") will try his hand at comedy in "Madigan Men." "Madigan Men" is one of the shows that will make up the new TGIF lineup along with the paranoid and neurotic "The Trouble With Normal." After a record-breaking summer, CBS debuts four new comedies including Bette Midler's aptly named "Bette" (a critics' favorite) and Christine Baranski's ("Cybil") "Welcome to New York." Hoping to recover from a serious depletion in dramas, the network puts forth an updated "The Fugitive," the political police drama "The District" starring Craig T. Nelson and "C.S.I" about a Las Vegas forensics team. NBC, still reeling from being number three, hopes that comedians David Allen Grier ("In Living Color") in "DAG" and "Seinfeld's" Michael Richards will boost ratings, but better prospects lie in the net- works three new dramas. A New Yorker returns to his home in Stuckyville to buy a bowling alley in "ED," while a New York columnist works to right wrongs in "Deadline." However, these two could not com- pare to Aaron Spelling's latest, "Titans" that will fill anyone's need for a weekly dose of love, lust and guilty pleasure. On Fox, otherwise known as the David E. Kelly network, Kelly will try his hand at another series "Boston Public" about the trials of teaching. The home of the "X-Files" will also premiere two new science fiction shows, James Cameron's "Dark Angel" and the paranormal "Freakylinks." Fox will also try its hand at a male "Sex in the City" on Wall Street in "The Street." Alas, as all of these new shows vie for ratings and await the deadly ring of cancellation, the shows that are returning this fall are infusing some Sabrina Ward Harrison made her first book at the age of 21. She made it out of nai 11 and pictures and odds and ends and quotesand feelings. This is the journal of Selective artist. Sabrina Ward Harrison Shaman Drum Tonight at 8 Harrison didn't set out to publish anything. She took a class her freshman year of college titled Life Stories, which inspired her to start journaling. It was a welcome outlet for her, as she was in a pre- carious stage of her life. "People think those are the greatest years of "but it's the time perhaps because her feelings were get- ting interesting. Harrison even called her favorite author, Sark, one day and left a message on her helpline to tell her that she felt "disheveled." Sark returned the call, impressed with the girl's raw honesty. When they met, Sark took one look at Harrison'sjournals and pushed her to go public with them. Harrison was embarrassed at first, but she then thought, "If I could be of help, I should get over myself and get it out there." So she did, and it's wonderful. It is col- orful and messy, filled with beautiful drawings, paint and photographs. She attempts to make self-portraits, constant- ly "becoming herself, or trying. Her thoughts range from "Oh...the worries of thighs,"to "Sometimes I am unable to buckle down my euphoria." This book is a window into her mind and what's more, a window into every woman's mind. Harrison says that though it is a journal of a 21-year-old and she intend- ed it to inspire girls, middle-aged women have been some of her biggest support- ers. As if they are trying to remember themselves when they were just discov- ering who that was. The war on drug Sheen joins the as f new blood.

But it was her journals that were getting interesting, Photo courtesy of Villard Book~s Harrison reads at Shaman Drum tonight. The beginning of "Spilling Open" concentrates more on her insecurities, and it ends, she said, "with a sense of faith in who I am." But it is not that sim- ple. There are excerpts of happiness in the beginning and bouts of insecurity at the end. It is like life. There isn't ever a time when uncertainty ends. She por- trays reality, but with an artistic and inspirational slant. What's more, riddled throughout the text are beautiful quotes from Leonard Cohen, Walt Whitman and Robert Frost, to name just a few. These are important people in Harrison's life - she "wouldl- n't know what to do without them'. Her father, however, has been the most inspirational person in her life. He picked up his life and his family and moved them from Canada to Southern California to make films on a whim. "He was always rebuilding himself," she said. So what is Harrison going to do now that she has gotten her remarkable jour- nal published? Since she claims her pas- sion to be "spilling and scribbling," she is working on another book and making "Sabrina skirts," the first of which she is displaying while on tour. In addition, she is teaching a class in Oakland, Calif., on Becoming Yourself, which is amixture of big, blank journals, prompting ques- tions, ink, varnish, wallpaper, Ani DiFranco, Bob Dylan, spilling and mis- takes. _j U r SPECIAL SCREENING I I I I U Food for Thought Were Blacks Over- Represented in Vietnam?
