My Name Is Earl rampages like a bull in a politically correct china shop. -

Sweet but never treacly, nostalgic but never dishonest, startlingly frank about race and always painfully funny, Everybody Hates Chris is the sitcom for which the networks have been yearning for the better part of a decade. -

Pushing Daisies is by far the best new series of the fall season. -

A gaspingly funny show that you ought to watch early and often. -

Fearlessly funny and scathingly introspective. -

My Own Worst Enemy is by far the best drama of the fall season, a bold and brainy spy thriller that practices a sort of armed existentialism. -

The Pacific is as brutally simple and direct--and as oblivious to modern PC sensibilities--as the Marine's letter. Produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, this 10-part HBO miniseries is a loving but anguished tribute to the men who fought on the bloody island hellholes that comprised World War II's Pacific theater. -

Boardwalk Empire plays much like Sopranos: The Roots, a malignantly alluring exploration of the emergence of organized crime in the United States. A checkerboard of hazy intrigue and garish violence, of ruthless ambition and easy sexuality, it's an epic tale told darkly and well. -

The gloriously bloody and depraved spirit of the novels is intact and even enhanced.- Posted Apr 18, 2011

Homeland is an absolutely riveting immersion in the paranoia and burnout of America after a decade of the war on terrorism.- Posted Oct 3, 2011

Starz' new eight-episode drama is at once the most cynical and most captivating portrayal of American politics ever presented on television.- Posted Oct 20, 2011

The show's witty, inventive writing would be fun even in the hands of a less capable cast. -

It's funny and warm and I dare you to watch it without getting your pants charmed off. -

Crumbs' approach to the foibles of the family, though not for the tender-hearted, is raucously funny. -

Half the fun in this outlandishly funny sitcom is that Penny is so spacey that she doesn't appear to recognize what hard-core nerds Leonard and Sheldon really are--even the presence in their bathroom of Luke Skywalker No-More-Tears Shampoo doesn't tip her off. -

Shark works some of the same ground as Fox's new legal drama Justice, but with far more wit and style. -

30 Rock... is pretty darn funny, a bitterly merry comic jihad against corporate stupidity and mendaciousness. -

It's the lack of moral clarity that makes Damages so spellbinding. Every character wears multiple masks; every action is cloaked in ambiguity and, often, outright duplicity. -

It's funny and smart, with affably quirky characters who aren't cut from cardboard. -

Big Shots matches affecting characters with genuinely funny stories and dialogue. -

It's hard to say which is more unlikely: That a corporate legal fang could be God's prophet; or that the Almighty would spread His word through visions of George Michael; or these matters could be blended into a daffily funny and affecting television show. -

Samantha Who? is not only a sitcom but a pungently funny one about self-discovery, reinvention and the possibility that beauty may be only skin-deep, but bitch goes right down to the bone. -

The excellent cast keeps drawing you back--especially Donald Sutherland as family patriarch Tripp Darling, whose evil glint makes even as benign a phrase as ''good morning'' sound like ''I'm going to put an ice pick through your eye.'' Even better is Krause's portrayal of Nick, layers of exasperation upon fascination upon temptation. -
