    Minority Report (2015): Season 1
    Minority Report is networky to the extreme. Bland heroics, banter with all the snap of wilted celery, characters that are the sum of three adjectives and are so effortfully congenial you can practically see the studio exec’s red ink on their foreheads reading “More likable,” and, of course, that odd pro-authoritarian bent that most cop procedurals (except maybe Person of Interest) end up adopting.

    High Maintenance: Season 2
    They’re all well acted, wryly funny, and between 6 and 11 minutes long: the perfect dosage to leave you smiling, with no unpleasant aftereffects.

    American Dad!: Season 11
    [Both first episodes are] funny enough on their own, although taken together they reveal how easily the show's formula can be read after being on the air for so long. [12 Sep 2014, p.58]

    About A Boy: Season 1
    Overall, it’s a whole lot of premise-setting and foundation-building, but there’s enough here to be optimistic that this will be one more tick in the Good column of movie/TV synergy.

    Chozen: Season 1
    The pilot is less than the sum of its creative parts. [17 Jan 2014, p.61]

    Kirstie: Season 1
    The expected jokes about Botox, nose jobs, and Alley's weight abound and are executed with old-school shticky competence, like a middling '90s sitcom that never was. [6 Dec 2013, p.74]

    Welcome to the Family: Season 1
    There are a few chuckleworthy lines, but overall the show is aiming straight down the middle, and that's exactly where it ends up. [25 Oct/1 Nov 2013, p.94]

    Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove: Season 1
    The show takes place in the same tight-knit pseudo-Mayberry that serves as a locale for many of the channel's uninspired movies. [19 Jul 2013]

    Ben Hur
    [An] overlong and cheesy adaptation.

    Mankind: The Story of All of Us: Season 1
    [Mankind is] filled with overdone battle reenactments, unqualified celebrity talking heads, and slo-mo iron smelting set to electronic dance music.

    The Mindy Project: Season 1
    The pilot is promising, with sharp dialogue, a solid supporting cast, and Kaling's appealing unapologetic protagonist. [28 Sep 2012, p.64]

    America's Next Top Model: Season 19
    It's one part silly manufactured reality drama and one part Kenneth Anger fantasia, all ruled by a Tyra-nnical Queen of Hearts.

    WakeBrothers: Season 1
    There's little to distinguish this from a particularly bawdy ultra-light- beer commercial.

    Leverage: Season 5

    Bristol Palin: Life's a Tripp: Season 1
    An eventless, tedious, campaign-ad-bland Juneau Shore. [22 Jun 2012, p.54]

    Comedy Bang! Bang!: Season 1
    It's an oddity, but the comfortable looseness makes up for the fact that it's really about nothing in particular.

    Best Friends Forever: Season 1
    It has sharp writing and endearing characters.

    Key & Peele: Season 1
    While the show is not yet as boundary-pushing as Chappelle's, it is funny, and that should never be taken for granted.

    Unsupervised: Season 1
    A template house-party plot and goofy supporting characters end up steering it toward something more predicable. [20 Jan 2012, p.71]

    Napoleon Dynamite: Season 1
    While many from the original cast, including Jon Heder, lend their voices, the film's core of discomforting weirdness has been scrapped for cartoon zaniness.

    Allen Gregory: Season 1
    Obviously, he is supposed to be insufferable, but there's not enough else in the show to distract you from just how much you want to shove the tiny egomaniac into his Louis Vuitton lunch box.

    Man Up!: Season 1
    Male characters are incompetent but lovable, and their wives nagging but wise, as if both groups had been snatched straight out of ads for beer and yogurt, respectively.

    Quirky : Season 1
    A lot like Shark tank but without the drama or the competitive spirit. [2 Sep 2011, p.68]

    Take The Money and Run: Season 1
    It's a relatively interesting premise, but once the interrogations start, it turns silly very fast.

    Suits: Season 1
    Suits follows a slick, big-time lawyer (Gabriel Macht) who hires a mnemonic genius without a law degree (Patrick J. Adams), and the rest is likely just what we can expect from every remaining episode: kinda fun, moderately enjoyable, and reassuringly unchanging.

    Red Faction: Origins
    It's definitely not at that level [Battlestar Galactia], but with significantly higher production values and better acting (including from T-1000 Robert Patrick) than the vast majority of Syfy ventures, it easily steps up and over a bar that's set so very, very low.

    Justice for Natalee Holloway
    The acting is stiff, the dialogue is atrocious, and after 10 minutes you'll want to take a long, hot shower.

    Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution: Season 2
    Oliver can get a little overbearing, as even his wife admits, just because he's always so darn earnest. But hey, in a world of Real Housewives and shirtless, brainless tandroids, thank God somebody is.

    Workaholics: Season 1
    The pilot's simple conceit--avoid the dreaded office drug test--is padded with an almost endless amount of jokes involving bodily waste, genitalia, and more bodily waste. Which is fine by me, if only they didn't commit an unforgivable sin for a show about potheads: trying too hard.

    Camelot: Season 1
    A few key tweaks to the story and Joseph Fiennes' puckish interpretation of the king's right-hand sorcerer keep the legend from getting too stale
