Show Wednesday, June 20, 2001 New series State of Grace scores with edgy family fare By Stephen English OTVData Features Syndicate It's like trying to tell somebody about rock V roll. That's what writing about Fox Family Channel's new series Stale of Grace is like, to borrow a line from the show's theme song. Words - even lyrics from the Lovin' Spoonful's "Do You Believe Be-lieve in MagicT - just aren't enough to describe the comedy-drama. comedy-drama. When Fox took over the network a few years ago, it wanted want-ed to accomplish the seemingly impossible: create edgy family programming. It succeeds with Stale of Grace, a show that is smart enough for parents and teen-agers, funny enough for kids and appropriate for all ages. - Premienng Monday, June 25, the show stylishly distills the preadolcscent experiences of Hannah Raybum (Alia Shawkal, Three Kings), a girl from a conservative, con-servative, quiet Jewish family growing up in the 1960s.

But the voice-overs in State of Grace add depth to the show. Hannah relates re-lates not only what the child was thinking at the time but what the adult has since figured out. The narration also sparkles with wit. "In my family, emotional issues is-sues were a nontopic," Hannah observes. "If it couldn't be yelled down the stairs, it simply wasn't worth discussing."
