The title of the show comes from a line in ”The Television God,” one of Miss Lipschultz’s pieces: ”Once upon the present time the idea of the human race could be a good idea.” With its allusion to the old joke about the Indian guru’s reply to the question of what he thinks of Western civilization, that line is not uncharacteristic of Miss Lipschultz’s writing. It is full of echoes of cliches and commonplaces, which she twists into new shapes. – excerpt from D.j.r. Bruckner’s NY Times Review
