Winnetka Road: 10-11 tonight, WPTV-Channel 5. By SCOTT WILLIAMS AP Television Writer NEW YORK Ed Begley Jr. folds his long frame into a comfy chair and grins contagiously when pressed about his new series, the slightly soap operatic Winnetka Road, joining NBC's prime time tonight. "Sure, it's a soap. But it's a biodegradable soap!" he protests.
Begley, a six-time Emmy nominee for TV's hallowed St. Elsewhere, and justly praised for the short-lived Parenthood, is happy to have found a great new series character. He plays "the guy who left his wife for an aerobics instructor and finds out, well What DO you talk about at At the same time, our guy misses his wife (Catherine Hicks) and his 2.2 kids with eyes that open and close when not ban Chicago would seem a far cry from the tonier L.A. districts of Messrs. Spelling and Vincent.
Oak Bluff, we read, "provides the backdrop for a sophisticated and quirky look at the romances and relationships among a group of people who are trying to find a little love and understanding in an increasingly complicated world." That means plenty of handsome young men and lovely young women. The cast includes Meg Tilly, Josh Bro-lin, Kristen Cloke, Kurt Deutsch and Megan Ward. So this is sort of like Beverly Hills high schoolers? Or trendy Angeleno twentysomethings on. the Fox network? Not so, according to Begley. Winnetka Road has more to do with the diminished expectations of the '90s.
"It's not like the '80s, where everybody's doing well," he said. "Here everybody's emotionally or financially on the rocks." focused on the video-game screen. Mostly, he misses his wife. "He misses that camaraderie, that friendship, all that is dear in a marriage that did work for some time," Begley said. "He would like to have that back but doesn't know how to get there.
"Yet he wants it all, and goes back and forth like a windshield wiper between the aerobics instructor and the wife and she's as confused as he is," Begley said. "That's interesting stuff to investigate." The series was created and produced by John Byrum (Razor's Edge and. Middle Ages) under executive producers Aaron Spelling and E.

To get a fast discard for a spade loser, South led the queen of clubs and a club to the jack, then threw a spade on the ace. Last club South next led a trump from dummy. West won with the jack, cashed the ace of spades, and led his last club. East ruffed with the king, and West's ace of trumps took the setting trick. Dummy's 10 of clubs was a magic card, but South failed to use it.
After pitching a spade on the third club, South should lead the 10 of clubs and throw his last spade. This loser-on-loser play saves the contract; South later draws trumps and loses only two trumps and a club. Daily question YOU HOLD: 4 10 64298630 5 A 10 4.

Today's South had no business bidding game. North's raise to three hearts was a preempt, and West's double promised spade strength; hence South's king of spades worth about as much as a deuce.

That comes to 22 points and South presumably has all of them. Your first problem is whether to take the king of diamonds. West's five is likely to be either a singleton, which would make the contract unstoppable, or the top of a doubleton, which means that South started with K-J-7. Either way, it won't matter whether you win this diamond or the next one, so let's say you take the king with the ace. The next problem is what to return.
If you choose the neutral return of a spade or a club, South is sure to make at least nine tricks. He'll force out your queen of diamonds and score three spades, one heart, three diamonds and two clubs. You don't want this to happen, so you make the sparkling return of the king of hearts. You don't know whether this play will do the job, but you do know that no other return has a ghost of a chance. As it happens, your king play knocks South out of the box.
Your partner has the 10 of hearts, so, when you duck the jack of diamonds next, South can amass only eight tricks. Killing dummy's entry by sacrificing your king of hearts proves to be an unusual but necessary play.
