WEEKEND TV : Comedy-Club Sitcom on Showtime Tonight
The escalating war of words and armies in the Persian Gulf again will be the prime target of television this weekend. After that, cable is the only refuge from yet another weekend of network reruns.
Showtime presents two fresh programs. The first, “Laugh!s,” debuting tonight at 10, is a comedy series set inside a comedy club that features both a typical sitcom story line intermixed with some actual stand-up routines. Todd Susman stars.
And Showtime also presents “The Showtime 30-Minute Movie” Sunday at 9 p.m. The festival includes three short films: “Conquering Space,” “12:01 P.M.” and “To the Moon, Alice.”
Today at 11 a.m., the USA Network series “Youthquake” offers a chilling half-hour visit with a 20-year-old AIDS victim who contracted the disease through heterosexual contact.
