In the tradition of Leni Riefenstahl, one of the antique media's most typical networks does a hatchet job on our friendly neighborhood feathered friends while trying to stampede the ignorant masses (that's us, kiddies) into panicky anarchy.
Detroit Free Press: MIKE DUFFY'S TV TODAY: ABC's 'Fatal Contact' serves up a bucket of hysterical fluff
"Fatal Contact: Bird Flu in America" (8:00 PM ABC)
Let's get this pandemic party started. ABC shamelessly bangs the gong of global disease anxiety with a schlocky "What if?" trauma drama about the ravages of a deadly international avian flu epidemic. Joely Richardson ("Nip/Tuck") is the sexy epidemiologist on a mission, a doctor from the Epidemic Intelligence Service.
Hmmm...Joely Richardson, eh? You don't suppose an epidemiologist would fight a pandemic while alternating between bikinis and lingerie, do you?
No, I suppose not. Thank goodness for the NHL playoffs.
