SPELLING ERROR
We wanted to do cartwheels over Titans, we really did. NBC's new Aaron Spelling primetime soap, boasting a heady lineup of ex-daytimers, is lushly produced and well enough acted�except, that is, by the impossibly wooden Casper Van Dien (One Life To Live)�but this show about screwed-up rich people commits a grievous sin: It is way too tame and tasteful. And what's the point of that when TV offers us trash hounds so many succulently shocking serials�from Passions and The Bold and the Beautiful by day to Popular and the unruly new Grosse Pointe by night? Titans plays it safe. That's never a good sign for a soap.
