Mowgli the "man-cub" returns to the wilderness in this sequel to the Walt Disney Pictures animated favorite The Jungle Book. After leaving life in the jungle behind, Mowgli (voice of Haley Joel Osment) has been adopted, and now lives in the nearby village with his new parents and his younger brother, while becoming close friends with Shanti (voice of Mae Whitman), the girl who first lured him out of the wilds. However, adjusting to live among other humans hasn't been easy, and after Mowgli pays a visit to an old friend, happy-go-lucky bear Baloo (John Goodman), the boy considers staying for a while. Before long, both Shanti and Mowgli's new family notice he's missing, and Shanti goes into the jungle to look for him, despite her fear of wild animals. However, Mowgli and Baloo are soon reminded that life in the wilderness isn't always carefree when they learn Shere Khan (voice of Tony Jay) is looking for Mowgli, eager to settle an old score. The Jungle Book 2 also features voice work from Phil Collins and John Rhys-Davies; rock group Smash Mouth contribute a new version of "I Wanna Be Like You" to the soundtrack. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The fifth and final season of Living Single finds Manhattan-based magazine editor Khadijah (Queen Latifah) short one roommate when her cousin Synclaire (Kim Coles) gets married to her longtime fiancé Overton (John Henton). Moving in with Khadijah and her best friend Regine (Kim Fields Freeman) is Ira Lee "Tripp" Williams III, a composer of commercial jingles who aspires to bigger things. Meanwhile, Khadijah's former college roommate Max (Erika Williams) has decided not to move to London with her erstwhile sweetheart Kyle (T.C. Carson). Even so, Kyle is not completely out of her life, as Max learns to her amazement when, at season's end, she discovers the identity of the donor with whose sperm she has been artificially inseminated! In other developments, honeymooners Synclaire and Overton are briefly stranded on a desert island, and once rescued they move to Hollywood, the better for Synclaire to pursue her blossoming acting career. Gold-digging Regine finally marries her millionaire, a fellow named Dexter Knight (Don Franklin). And after a three-year absence, Khadijah's former beau Scooter (Cress Williams) returns to her life, hoping to pick up where he left off...and them's the conditions that prevail as Living Single concludes its five-year run. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Season Four of Living Single opens with a jam-packed episode which resolves the many crises left unresolved at the end of Season Three: Khadijah (Queen Latifah) is spared the loss of her beloved magazine "Flavor" through the intervention of loyal employee Russell (Shaun Baker); Max (Erika Alexander) survives a vicious smear campaign and wins a local election, with erstwhile boyfriend Kyle (T.C. Carson) as her biggest booster; and Overton (John Henton) finally proposes to Synclair (Kim Coles). Surprisingly, the only person not affected by these crucial plot developments is Regine (Kim Fields Freeman), whose mercenary misadventures usually dictate the direction in which the story is going. As the season progresses, Khadijah finds romance in the form of Dr. Charles Roberts (Isaiah Washington), despite the embarrassing revelation that Roberts had been the anesthesiologist during our heroine's hemmorhoid surgery; Synclaire lands a few more oddball acting jobs, including the role of a clown on a popular daytime show starring a truly repulsive child actor (Adam Wylie); and when the TV soap opera "Palo Alto" is cancelled, Regine loses her job as wardrobe assistant, though she quickly secures new employment as a party coordinator (typically, her first client turns out to be one of the many boyfriends she'd dumped in the past. Season Four ends during the wedding of Overton and Synclaire, during which Kyle receives an offer to start up a new job in London--thereby driving yet another wedge between himself and his off-and-on sweetheart Max. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Magazine editor Khadijah (Queen Latifah) continues to preside over the merry mayhem in her crowded Brooklyn brownstone as Living Single enters its second season. After avoiding making a commitment to her erstwhile boyfriend Scooter (Cress Williams), she finally decides that he's stable enough to suit her when he lands a job as a PR man for a big record company; alas, the couple is soon rent asunder when Scooter departs on a six-month promotional tour with a female R&B group, never to be seen again. . .at least until Living Single's final season. Meanwhile, the eternally bickering Max (Erika Alexander) and Kyle (T.C. Carson) try to make sense of their "one-night stand" from the previous season, concluding that they're now in love--or at least that's what they think until they start sniping at one another again. On the professional front, Max survives a series of humiliating temp jobs until she finally lands a good position with the Public Defender's office, where her new boss is her former flame Preston August (played by Phil Morris of Seinfeld fame. Also, Khadijah's impressionable cousin Synclaire (Kim Coles) continues to date Overton (John Henton),even going on lengthy vacations with him; but she refuses to go to bed with her sweetheart, a fact that proves startling to her worldlier roommate Regine (Kim Fields Freeman). Synclaire also manages to secure a few acting assignments in some decidedly off-off-Broadway productions, one of which requires her to appear in the nude. And getting back to Regine, our favorite gold-digger continues to primp and preen in hopes of landing a wealthy husband, but experiences more than a few setbacks in this pursuit, notably when she is forced to undergo breast-reduction surgery to cure her aching back. Although the popularity of Living Single did not hinge upon its guest stars, mention should made of the prominent persons appearing in various Season Two episodes, among them composer Branford Marsalis, New York Mets player Bobby Bonilla and boxer Roberto Duran in "Who's Scooping Who?" Also, Rosie O'Donnell shows up as an old friend of Khadijah who disrupts the equilibrium of Flavor magazine when she is hired as a columnist in the episode "There's No Ship Like Kinship", while a young Will Ferrell appears as the"Roomate from Hell" in "Talk Showdown." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Given the size of his schnoz, it shouldn't be surprising that ALF would be pressed into service as a modern-day Cyrano de Bergerac. This is just what happens when a shy, tongue-tied Jake begs ALF to write love letters on Jake's behalf to a girl named Laura (played by future Karen Sisco and Threshold star Carla Gugino). Trouble ensues when ALF falls for Laura himself! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
