Premise: Tracey Ullman's considerable comic gifts are on full display in an Emmy-winning series in which each episode wittily explores a theme (such as death, fame, romance, royalty, smoking and vanity). She plays a multitude of roles, including some familiar characters (like magazine editor Janie Pillsworth), as well as some newer ones (Mrs. Noh Nang Ning, a doughnut-shop owner). Guests included Cheech Marin, Tobey Maguire, Jon Favreau, Julie Kavner and Michael Tucker.
