It's a bloody good, gory hour, and I don't know how Southland will top this. But I can't wait to see what's around the corner.

This is the best ensemble of any show anywhere, and watching these gifted actors bounce off each other is a joy. Damages proves capable hands can craft a thriller for TV.

By dramatizing the true stories of the men who fought there, Spielberg and Hanks craft perhaps their most psychologically grounded work.

Mad Men is off to one crazy-good start.

Fox’s Human Target is the closest thing on TV to swigging a keg of Red Bull. It’s one hour of pure energy, a blast of fun action and stunts.

TV Land's first original sitcom is the surprise of the summer, a sparkling, breezy comedy, in no small part due to the casting of this year's It Girl, 88-year-old Betty White as a cantankerous caretaker.

Will The Event turn out to be another "FlashForward" or the next "Lost"? I'm betting cautiously on the latter.

A serial killer, a state execution, slapstick involving a baby--Fox's new Raising Hope is deliciously demented and easily the funniest new show of fall.

The first two hours are marked by surprising twists and betrayals. TV's most cunning series is back in session.

The three-week, six-hour miniseries introduces a colorful, international cast of characters who live and breathe to create one moment of perfection under the limelight.

Southland's cast remains one of its best selling points.

The most endearing, functional dysfunctional family in all of TV gets off to multiple good starts in the new season of Showtime's The United States of Tara.

This is no CBS crime procedural, and viewers deserve the chance to delve into this smart mystery for themselves.

For a topic that sounds as dry as a fund prospectus, the acting and pacing is exceptional.

I loved the pilot, mostly because I could never predict where the story was going, a rarity in prime-time TV.

Life may be short, but this comedy is not long enough.

Louis-Dreyfus won Emmys for both "Seinfeld" and "The New Adventures of Old Chrstine," and seems the best candidate to win another for her work here.

There hasn't been a show since "The Sopranos" so concerned with bodily functions, and it makes its oft-compared predecessor "Sex and the City" look like a TeenNick production. But it's also fresh, bracing and original.

You'll worry the Big Apple will swallow them up. Mostly, you'll wonder how Breaking Amish will turn next.

If there's a nighttime soap any better, I haven't seen it.

Mad Men is back with another ridiculously addictive season.

The characters carry themselves with the kind of decency, maturity and occasional playfulness that is virtually unseen on prime time.

What separates “Tara” from “Jackie,” of course, is that Tara’s family is aware of Tara’s problems and supports her. In creator/writer Diablo Cody’s world, even the most damaged among us can lead healthy lives if they are loved for themselves. That’s a comforting message.

It’s a shame “The Tudors” is coming to a close. As Hirst has noted, there are generations of stories yet to tell. Count on this series to end on a royally good note

"In this job, there’s no such thing as no such thing," Pete says. Exactly. Warehouse 13 is truly the show where anything can happen.

King, Cudlitz and McKenzie carry this drama, in note-perfect peformances. They make Southland a worthy part of your Tuesday night stakeout.

The triangle--quadrangle?--becomes more twisted by episode's end. It leads to shocking violence against outsiders that deepens the tragedy and the mythology at the core of the show. "Game on" just might be the two most chilling words uttered this season.

If you don't tear up at least once during each episode, you've already coded. "Boston Med" is the cure for summertime TV blues.
