TAX ATTORNEY/TAXIDERMY--INTERCHANGABLE: I tried Prison Break when it premiered, and just wasn't feeling it, so I'd like to suggest an alternative for viewing on Monday nights--the WB's Related, which moved from a death slot Wednesday against Lost to Mondays at nine. Basically, take one part Felicity (college student trying to find her way in the world), one part Gilmore Girls (fast talking women with pop cultural references), one part Sex And The City (the adventures and misadventures of NYC women in love and lust), and just a pinch of Mad About You (newly married couple trying to find their way together). Particular standouts are Lizzy Caplan (Janis from Mean Girls) as the second-youngest sister, a party planner, and Laura Breckinridge as the youngest sister. Add to that a solid recurring cast--Tom Irwin as the girls' father and Christine Ebersole as the girls' prospective stepmother--and you have a charmer of a show. It's worth checking out.
