Action

	Fox
	Thursday 9:30–10:00 p.m.; canceled
Cast:	Jay Mohr, Ileana Douglas, Jarrad Paul, Jack Plotnick, and Buddy Hackett

Action pushes the limits of network television, with bleeped-out swears aplenty and suggestive innuendo galore. But how else to proceed in a send-up of the cutthroat movie industry? Mohr plays film producer Peter Dragon, a bad-boy egomaniac, who berates just about everyone, except his chauffeur (Hackett) and the movie stars he tries to lure into his films.
