Woody Allen isn't practiced at the art of making TV, which turns out to be an advantage for his first TV project, "Crisis in Six Scenes," a wry screwball comedy available for streaming Friday on Amazon. Lennie becomes the radical who came to dinner, devouring all of Sid's favorite foods, lecturing both Muntzingers on the need for radical action to right the nation's wrongs, and hanging a Che Guevara poster in the guest room. Sid wants her out, not only because he's terrified he and Kay will wind up in jail where he's sure he will be a target for other inmates because of his shapely figure, but also because she's eating his navel oranges, the last of the sturgeon and disrupting his routine. Side trips to a screwball finale straight out of the Marx Brothers (to whom Muntzinger tips a nonexistent hat as he opens the front door to unwanted houseguests) include Kay's sessions with various clients with marital problems, a budding romance among the younger set and the radicalization of a ladies' book club. Allen brings the whole TV-series self-consciousness bit home in the final minutes of the last episode, but he needn't have worried.
