Count on Hit & Miss to find its targets.

Elementary turns the myth into CBS' answer to "Castle," with a shade more intelligence.

What separates this cast from just about every other real-ity show is that these people are chasing something larger than themselves, more vital to them than fame or money--that brief moment of perfection onstage, achieved after years of study and practice.

Unlike other period dramas, notably AMC's "Mad Men" and Starz's "Magic City," Vegas doesn't cram the hour with topical references. Here, they're more subtle and jarring.

After some demented inspiration from Jesse (Aaron Paul), Walt launches a caper so audacious, it's almost comical.

Bunheads has the potential to have that cross-generational appeal. To thrive, the series must find its own tune to dance to.

Photographer and filmmaker Timothy Greenfield-Sanders accessorizes his picture with some vintage clips, but his Face could do with fewer mouths.

Perry proves to be adept at both the mirth and misery required by the role. Viewers, however, may be put off by a series that seems stuck like its patients in a gray zone between laughing and mourning.

Go beyond the in-your-face, outrageous title here, and you'll find a somewhat sweet show struggling to create some real laughs.

It's never a good sign when the main character is the least interesting player on the block. Fortunately, Empire's cast is rich enough for you to overlook that flaw.

Once the story finds its pulse, Coma is fun, but there are a few hiccups.

While the premise is slight, smart casting gives Ben and Kate a comedic edge.

Plotting is not Fellowes' strength, but Downton's appeal is visual.

There's pleasure in seeing such talented actresses bounce off each other. Woodard could probably recite Google search links and would still turn in an Emmy-caliber performance. But these flowers never fully bloom.

In its best moments, the drama has the grit of something more likely to be found on cable channel TNT.

A&E reboots the legend of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho,” but Bates Motel plays like a slow-burning riff on David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks” sparked by some fascinating, nuanced performances.

The settings never seem authentic for the Big Apple, and accents veer like partygoers after last call.... Still, Maslany shows skill in her many alternate guises, and the show has a dark sense of humor.

The Big C doesn’t traffic in miracles, but it does deliver small pleasures worth pondering and savoring.

The show’s formula--particularly the ease in which the villains track down Chuck--is getting creaky.

After watching the first four episodes of the sixth season back-to-back--an endurance test I don’t recommend--it’s apparent Rescue Me is recycling plots.

Undercover presents a wonderful tribute to the working man and woman. Middle managers are the villains here, sitting at desks and docking workers for clocking in late at lunch. The hour ends with the predictable reveal.

Rookie Blue is set in a nondescript big city, which also serves to make the series generic. The cast, however, is spunky and promising.

The players have all done fine work in other venues, but the story isn't here. The network that "knows drama" needs to step it up a beat.

Unlike "The Wire," the pacing is lazy. Many of the moments seem authentic, but to paraphrase director Alfred Hitchcock: A good show is life minus the boring parts.

Tonight's mystery ultimately doesn't hang together, but it does establish the show's light mythos in an easy-to-digest way.

Hope you like looking at a golf ball, well, doing nothing. You'll see a lot of it during the hour. It sets the mood of The Glades. Sweltering stupidity.

The Salahis are the attraction here. Judging from the season teaser, the show will spend the entire season building up to the infamous dinner-crashing scene, to which the Bravo cameras appear to had access. Remember, a fame whore needs your attention to survive. Look away now.

Visually, Los Angeles works. One forgets how dark and claustrophobic the New York shows can be. The sets seem more open, and the decor reflects an electric mix of modern styles. But the crimes--ripped from the headlines, naturally--might as well be culled from the funny pages.
