To Do: Franz, Pacino, Eskimos In Danger
· The William S. Paley Television Festival kicks off tonight with the cast of NYPD Blue in attendance, finally freed from the tyranny of the flickering idiot box. The featured montage of Dennis Franz's dimpled ass set to "Fire and Rain" is not to be missed.
· Have you already seen Hitch four times and need a change of pace? AFI at the Arclight presents Serpico, featuring the great Al Pacino before he succumbed to a terminal case of the "hoo-ahs."
· The seemingly Inuit-threatening band Eskimohunter begin a March Wednesday night residency at the King King, while Divebomb, a self-described "night for people who like music," takes over the Knitting Factory.
