Originally telecast by HBO from January 4 to June 4, 1998, season three of Tracey Takes On... finds the multi-talented Tracey Ullman utilizing scores of comic characterizations to poke satiric jabs at ten different topics. Among the sacred institutions skewered this season are "Marriage," "Hollywood," "Smoking," "Loss," "Agents," "Age," "Religion," "Man's Best Friend," "Culture," and "Sports." Among the characters in Ullman's one-woman "repertory company" are airport security guard-cum-author Sheneesha, earthy Hollywood makeup artist Ruby, ebullient born-again Christian Birdie, 19-year-old virgin Hope, and sharkish lawyer Sydney. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
