The Washington press corps' annual "Press Capades" show is rapidly approaching, and Murphy (Candice Bergen) is eagerly looking forward to portraying First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton in "The Beltway Hillbillies", a sketch she wrote herself. Alas, Murphy's autocratic behavior during rehearsals is so overbearing that the rest of the cast refuses to work with her--and chooses Katie Couric as their leading lady instead! Although Ms. Couric does not actually appear in this episode, TV journalists Wolf Blitzer and Paula Zahn and Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich show up as (who else?) themselves. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Mel Brooks does it again with this send-up of vampire films. That Leslie Nielson plays the great blood-sucking count gives viewers a good idea as to what they are in for. This Dracula takes himself very seriously despite the fact that he's a bit of a klutz with a tendency to slip in the bat guano that adorns his castle floor. Staying very close to Bram Stoker's original story, Brooks also pays sly homage to other major vampire film classics, including Nosferatu. Though silly but subtle gags abound in this outing, Brooks has taken great care to recreate the late 19th-century atmosphere in rich detail and harkens back to Hammer horror movies popular during the '50s and '60s. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Nobody takes Bud (David Faustino) seriously when he insists that his middle-aged teacher Miss McGowen (Linda Gibboney) has the hots for him, but no one is laughing when both Miss McGowen and a rapacious student named Darlene (Charlotte Ross) make their moves on the Bundy boy. Elsewhere, Al (Ed O'Neill) goes around crashing kiddie parties to get free pizza, Peggy (Katey Sagal) suffers from a bad cold, and both of them squabble over the respective merits of their favorite TV series "Psycho Dad" and "Psycho Mom." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
