Neitherhost is a great interviewer. Leno never come back to the point. Letterman does his best on taped bits on the streets, with average people — lockfora lotof this in San Francisco next week. Lenotries this stuff, but always comes off as a pale imitation cf his “Late Show” counterpart (Leno's humorin suchbits can be more sophomoric than sophisticated). There is no question Leno's show seems full of energy. His audiences seem crazed and camera-hungry. Bandleader Kevin Eubanks plays well off the big man. Letterman's standing ovations are infrequentthese days, but his show is as edgy as ever. He seems to in a particularly fo- cused, take-no-prisoners mode, Bottom line?

Overthe past year, it has become moreinsulting than intriguing. That’s despite the usual standout performances from thelikes of Sela Ward, and Swoosie Kurtz. While it was never cutting-edge drama, “Sisters” did have its core audience over the years. Those longtime fans will want to have a box of tissue on hand for tonight's episode.It features a family tragedy and a guest appearancebythesister whogot away (Julianne Phillips, reprising her role as Frankie). Other loose ends from the drama’s sixyear run will be tied up. Allofthis, of course, raises a larger point: If “Sisters” stuck around too long, what other shows might think retirement sooner rather than later? (A couple, like ‘‘Picket Fences” and “Murder, She Wrote,” are already saying goodbye.) In my mind, ‘‘Roseanne,’’ ‘‘Murphy Brown,” “Married . With Children” and “Wings” could, too. So enough,already.
