"A Father's Homecoming," airing Sunday at 9 p.m. (Channels 4, 36 and 39), was directed by Rick Wallace, who has "Hill Street Blues" and "L.A. Law" to his credit, and was written by the "American Graffiti" team of Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck. Which just goes to prove that nobody's perfect. Written in the dramedy vein--thoughtful and tragic, but full of yuks--the film features Michael McKean as a former child of the '60s who becomes headmaster of a ritzy prep school.

When Jaden is slammed by a card, it comes in front of him and he almost dies. When that happened, I felt like I was going to jump in the book and help Jaden become the king of games. I think the author wrote this book to teach kids how to play better.
