　　FOX已续订《沉睡谷》第四季。

　　在这档真人秀剧集中，一群陌生人将争夺 25 万美元。他们会平分奖金，还是互相挤兑，以提高自己的份额？

　　《性／生活》讲述了一个女人、她的丈夫以及她的旧情人之间的三角恋故事，采用全新的视角审视了女性的身份和欲望。比莉·康纳利（莎拉·夏希饰）并非生来就是生活在郊区的全职妻子和母亲。在嫁给充满爱心且为人可靠的库伯（迈克·沃格尔饰）并搬到康涅狄格州之前，比莉是一个自由奔放的野孩子。她与好朋友莎夏（玛格丽特·奥黛特饰）一起在纽约生活，工作努力，玩得更嗨。照顾两个年幼的孩子让比莉感到筋疲力尽并开始怀念过去，于是她开始写日记，幻想自己与性感的前男友布莱德（亚当·迪莫斯饰）的激情之旅 — 与后者的分手让她一直无法释怀。但比莉越是回想，就越想不通自己为何走到了今天的地步。然后，丈夫发现了她的日记。有关比莉过去的真相会在她的婚姻中引发一场性革命吗？还是会让她与那个抛弃她并让她心碎的男人再续前缘？

　　广泛好评的1999年开始播出的NBC连续剧《白宫群英》(The West Wing)，它最新的一季将于9月24日在NBC播出。这部电视剧曾打败《老友记》、《欲望城市》等劲敌，连续两季成为艾美奖大赢家，并连续三季获得最佳连续剧奖。
　　一向被视为票房毒药的政治题材，在《白宫群英》里重获生机。这与当今美国公众价值取向的转变密不可分。尤其是9·11之后，美国人的爱国激情勃发，对总统的支持率达到前所未有的高度。《白宫群英》9·11特辑的收视观众多达2450万人。而剧中的演员们也纷纷表现出真正的政治热情，扮演森美的罗布洛 (Rob Lowe)成为阿诺·施瓦辛格的竞选顾问，扮演巴列总统的马丁·辛(Martin Sheen)则成为前一阵子好莱坞反战的中坚分子。
　　单纯从艺术角度来说，《白宫群英》在制作上比较活泼。虽然还是以拥护白宫为主旋律，但也不乏讽刺与调侃；虽然剧集强调纯属虚构，但暴露了众多白宫运作的真实内幕，因而也更受观众的欢迎。
　　在《白宫群英》里活跃的人物除了总统巴列及其家人外，还有他的一系列重要幕僚。从这个阵容便可看出，从全球战略的制定到总统一枚胸针的选择，在剧集里均可获得关注。当然其中也少不了各种谈情说爱的绯闻，其中不乏与现实“巧合"之处，例如在第一季中总统的女儿与白宫实习生大谈恋爱，而在剧集播出不久，便有消息称当时的总统克林顿的女儿与一名白宫实习生热恋。
　　剧集一方面为观众提供了一个窥视国家大事运作过程、窥视政坛要人的私生活的窗口，一方面又试图通过自己的表现影响高层，真正起到为总统出谋划策的作用，两头讨好，两方受益。
　　《白宫群英》给人的启示是，不仅以往那种让总统自己驾着飞机拯救全世界的手法已经落伍，从正面歌颂白宫也迷惑不了观众的眼睛。当传媒已颠覆了一切“神化"的可能的时候，与其用连小孩子都不相信的光环来包装总统，倒不如洗掉铅华，用有血有肉的真材猛料赢得公众的支持。

　　In 2262, Earthforce Captain Elizabeth Lochley is appointed to command Babylon 5. The station grows in its role as a sanctuary for rogue telepaths running from the Psi Corps, resulting in conflict. G'Kar, former Narn ambassador to Babylon 5, becomes unwillingly a spiritual icon after a book is published that he wrote while incarcerated during the Narn-Centauri War. The Drakh, former allies of the Shadows who remained in the galaxy, take control of Regent Virini on Centauri Prime through a parasitic creature called a Keeper, then incite a war between the Centauri and the Interstellar Alliance, in order to isolate the Centauri from the Alliance and gain a malleable homeworld for themselves.
　　Centauri Prime is devastated by Narn and Drazi warships and Londo Mollari becomes emperor, accepting a Drakh Keeper under threat of the complete nuclear destruction of the planet. (Portions of the end of his reign are seen in various prescient visions throughout the series; they show Mollari and former nemesis (and later friend) G'Kar sixteen years in the future dying at each other's throats, seemingly out of their grudge. It is gradually revealed that there was a much more friendly subtext, with Mollari having become a slave to the drakh rule and being tired of life; his Drakh Keeper awakens and strangles G'Kar in return. Vir Cotto, Mollari's loyal and more moral aide, succeeds him as emperor, free of Drakh influence. Sheridan and Delenn marry and move to Minbar, along with the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance. G'Kar leaves Babylon 5 to escape his unwanted fame and explore the rim. Garibaldi also marries and settles down on Mars. Most of the other main characters leave B5.
　　Nineteen years later on the verge of death, Sheridan takes a final trip to the obsolete Babylon 5 station before its decommissioning. Sheridan apparently dies but is claimed by the First Ones, who invite him to join them on a journey beyond the rim of the galaxy. Babylon 5 station is destroyed in a demolition shortly after Sheridan's departure, its existence no longer necessary as the Alliance has taken over its diplomatic purposes. This final episode features a cameo by Straczynski as the technician who switches off the lights before Babylon 5 is demolished.

　　This series is above the expectations they had about it. It is very fast (beyond the tempo of each episode) conflicts are able to develop and resolve in each episode. Which for one as a spectator is very good since the rhythm is never lost.
　　On the other hand, humor management is constant and gives it its point of grace so that conflicts, which are very deep, can occur with a lightness that catches.
　　The chemistry that Paula Usero and Carol Rovira keep in the series is the same as they have in "Love Is Forever" so in just 10 minutes they catch you in a way that when you already see them together you already know that everything will work out , they are the basis of this series and the writers notice that they know it since the series is by and for them.

　　HBO新剧《Hung》，中文译名《大器晚成》，这个译名很有神韵，关键在那个器字。Hung的意思是指男性雄壮伟大的器官，所以各位看官应该能心领神会吧？这个剧的看点在于：中年大叔、篮球教练、离婚、拖儿带女、穷困潦倒、无处藏身、胯下巨物，然后理所当然的……大叔卖身做兼职舞男了！
　　不过千万不要以为这是个H剧，实际上它探讨的话题还挺严肃的。特别是在目前全球经济一片不景气的大环境下，这个“性感大叔面临中年危机终于小宇宙爆发，发狠拼命”的剧情，还是很有现实意义的。而且它还是一部黑色幽默剧，再加上男主角是很有爱的Thomas Jane大叔，不辞辛劳的宽衣解带演出多场激情裸戏，简直是大叔控的福音啊。

　　本季延续《神探夏洛克第二季》的剧情，在莱辛巴赫坠楼案两年后，华生（马丁·弗瑞曼饰）努力让生活重新步上正轨，集美丽与智慧于一身的玛丽·摩斯坦（阿曼达·艾宾顿饰）将与华生一同步入和谐浪漫的人生新阶段。然而此刻，夏洛克（本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇饰）却上演复活戏码，虽然这是华生祈祷已久的愿望，但当愿望实现时，他还是无法坦然面对一切。这一次，夏洛克和华生需要解决伦敦街道下神秘的阴谋、婚礼上突如而来的意外，及面对恶名昭彰且阴险的勒索之王——查尔斯·奥古斯都·马格努森（即原著米尔沃顿，拉斯·米科尔森饰）。夏洛克回来了，但一切还和以前一样吗 ？
