(Encore on Comcast) Chevy Chase stars as a Manhattan sportswriter who thinks he wants to go back to nature, or at least to Vermont, and write novels.

(Encore on Comcast) Richard Pryor and family have to make the big move from New Jersey to Boise, Idaho, and of course, everything that could possibly go wrong does go wrong. It’s a pleasant enough sitcom for a while, but halfway through the gremlins creep in and things get real stupid real fast. There’s a great character performance by Randy Quaid as the psycho neighbor. (R; runs through Nov. 19)
