Picks and Pans Review: The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer

UPDATED 12/28/1998 at 01:00 AM EST Originally published 12/28/1998 at 01:00 AM EST

Dumb racial jokes arising from the fictional character of Abraham Lincoln's black butler. Crude sex farce with obviously Clintonian overtones. This misbegotten UPN sitcom had all the elements to ensure controversy—and disaster.
