Conveyor Belt of Love -- TV Review
ABC's "Conveyor Belt of Love" rolled out Monday night with the pacing of, well, a conveyor belt.
The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty -- TV Review
The show was to have been a one-off, framing the brothers' reunion for a 40th anniversary album and possible tour, but following Michael Jackson's death in June, things changed.
Men of a Certain Age -- TV Review
Those who gravitate to this engaging show will be rewarded with the kind of substantial, thoughtful fare more often reserved for theater audiences.
Alice -- TV Review
Syfy's model has a hard time gaining traction. Is "Alice" fantasy? Thriller? Action? Camp? The answer: Yes. That and more.
Lopez Tonight -- TV Review
TBS made TV history with the premiere of "Lopez Tonight," a late-night talkfest with a Chicano host. And just in case you didn't realize it, George Lopez hit you over the head with that information roughly every 90 seconds.
The Wanda Sykes Show -- TV Review
Is "The Wanda Sykes Show" an uproarious, biting and insightful look at politics and the events of the previous week? Yes and no. Yes in the first half-hour and no in the second.
V -- TV Review
After about 25 years, those sneaky, lizardlike aliens are back. Bold and still surprising, ABC's new "V" is clever enough for a cult following and accessible enough to reach a broad demo.
The League -- TV Review
The new series, a buddy-times-five comedy about friends in Chicago and their fantasy-football league, is an ongoing riff on the passion men have for sports and, occasionally, sex and, well, that's about it.
White Collar -- TV Review
This is a show so attuned to production design that prison cell interiors have low-hanging bare incandescent bulbs, all the better for smashing in anger.
The Jeff Dunham Show -- TV Review
It's all a complete train wreck, but it still is can't-miss comedy because after watching an episode, the rest of television looks better by comparison.
Sherri -- TV Review
Reminiscent of "Seinfeld" in that it mirrors the early career of a comedian, "Sherri" takes viewers through the paces with a lot of sass and the occasional funny bit.
Three Rivers -- TV Review
"Three Rivers" injects sincerity and competence back into the medical profession with such unabashed ease that it's possible to overlook that this is utter drivel.
Stargate Universe -- TV Review
"Stargate Universe" is competently produced and has all the cinematic bells and whistles you would expect from a member of the "Stargate" family, but if it is to be more than that it has light years to go.
Hank -- TV Review
"Hank" comes across as familiar and formulaic -- something you don't mind watching but wouldn't go out of your way to see.
Trauma -- TV Review
NBC's "Trauma" is a riveting, multilayered show about fallout; survival amidst the ruins -- a standout among the fall season's offerings.
The Cleveland Show -- TV Review
There's a new cast of animated characters on "Cleveland" but if you've seen "Family Guy" or "American Dad," the new show will feel remarkably familiar, if tamer, more circumscribed and, ultimately, less subversive.
Brothers -- TV Review
It's no surprise that charismatic, gap-toothed former New York Giants star Michael Strahan is looking to score with a sitcom vehicle. What is surprising, though, is just how watchable and amusing "Brothers" is, even if it doesn't break new ground.
FlashForward -- TV Review
"FlashForward" is all about the future, which looks fairly bright for this ensemble sci-fi drama, which bears a resemblance in tone and structure to "Lost."
Modern Family -- TV Review
Long on heart, brimming with great characters, smartly cast, expertly written and funny from start to finish, "Family" is the obvious choice for best new fall comedy -- and possibly best series.
Cougar Town -- TV Review
Unfortunately, the character creator Bill Lawrence dreamed up for Cox to play -- the recently divorced Jules -- is shrill, unappealing, self-obsessed and has no filter between what she thinks and what she says.
Mercy -- TV Review
"Mercy" is a lethal cocktail of virtually every medical drama ever seen on TV.
Eastwick -- TV Review
There's a good chance you'll enjoy "Eastwick," a breezy, bright trip to the dark side in which Rebecca Romijn's hair magically stays well-coiffed and Paul Gross has a devil of a time making his smoky tones not recall Jack Nicholson's in the movie.
NCIS: Los Angeles -- TV Review
"NCIS: L.A." is little more than an updated version of "The A-Team" of the 1980s, with more high-tech gadgetry and fewer explosions.
The Forgotten -- TV Review
To be sure, this lost-and-found committee is not tasked with finding murderers; the official goal is to identify nameless victims. But if the pilot is any indication, once they get on a roll, there is no stopping them.
The Good Wife -- TV Review
There could not be a better choice for the title role of Alicia Florrick than Julianna Margulies. Through words spoken and unspoken, she paints a detailed, moving portrait of a woman whose largely private, well-ordered life is suddenly and publicly shattered.
