摩登家庭第一季

　　《法律与秩序：特殊受害》，于1999年开始播出，是首播于1990年的美国电视史上播映时间最长犯罪剧集《法律与秩序》的三部姐妹剧之一。其它两部分别是2001年开播的《法律与秩序：犯罪倾向》(Law & Order: Criminal Intent)，和2005年《法律与秩序：陪审团》(Law and Order: Trial By Jury) 。
　　被残忍杀害的年轻女子、被虐的婴儿、被近亲性侵害的女童、家暴阴影下手足无措的妇女、失调扭曲的家庭关系、很想用心，但每每力有未迨的父母、杵在社会家庭人际边缘、人性的灰色地带。SVU每回总是触动那块让人无从防备的柔软地带。
　　可爱的孩童、无辜的弱势个体(受性侵害者、同性恋、精神病患)，每个人都多少有些经验感触的亲子与家庭关系。不见得要多复杂的剧情----忙于工作单亲母亲剧烈摇晃死自己的一岁多幼女、幼小无辜的女孩在母亲一时的暴怒下被辗压击碎。一方面可以多了解那种拉扯，在工作亲子关系中的心力交瘁；可爱时像天使，哭闹起来却像恶魔一样让人抓狂的孩子。要怎么控诉那为了舍不得孩子继续受到病痛折磨，而毅然决定停止呼吸器的母亲？所以就算这是再滥情的一种扮演与操控，每每还是让观众的心揪成一团…而溃不成军…
　　Law & Order: Special Victims Unit对于一部procedural drama来说，情节及其设计是成功的关键。SVU在这方面是相当不错的，同时也继续着Law & Order系列的传统。对各个主角的私生活，几乎都不接触。这样的好处就是可以使观众随时看任意一集，而不必担心情节不连戏。坏处就是观众群不断地更换。 Easier to attach, easier to detach. L&O: SVU最大的卖点是sex crime。
　　得力于出色的写实派创作班底，《法律与秩序》最厉害的一点是“尽量接近真实”。虽然快节奏的电视剧无法完全还原艰难的司法程序，但该剧仍然力求细节真实。相反，爆炸、飞车、追逐、打斗、枪战之类的场面极少出现，作为主角出现的两个警察在整整22集里一枪都没有开过，查案全靠两条腿一张嘴。相信所有对司法部门有所了解的人都会认同，这才是法律系统真实的运作方式。很多司法界人士和警察都对该剧赞誉有加，喜欢的人说“这就是现实”，不喜欢的人则批评它“像普及教育课，不像电视节目”。该剧的风行，深刻地影响了美国的电视行业，此后出现的警匪电视剧都更加注意纪实味道和团队精神，比如《犯罪现场调查》（CSI）和《纽约重案组》（NYPD Blue）。
　　与其它警匪电视剧最大的不同在于，《法》片把焦点完全集中在司法程序，对各个主角的私生活几乎不接触。在一个小时的剧集中，警察查案，控方审案。这样的好处就是可以使观众随时看任意一集而不必担心情节不连续。和它形成鲜明对照的是《纽约重案组》，在讲述真实犯罪和侦破细节的同时，也着意刻画警察的平凡生活，并加入了各式各样的恋情。最绝的是，《法》片的许多故事都直接来自报纸的社会新闻，所以在某些集的结尾，才会出现这样的字幕：“本集故事受某某案件启发，但人物与具体情节都纯属虚构，绝无影射涉案人士之意。

　　詹姆（威尔·埃斯蒂斯 Will Estes 饰）出生于警察世家，他的父亲弗兰克（汤姆·塞立克 Tom Selleck 饰）是现任纽约市警察局局长。身为家中最小的孩子，詹姆无疑是全家人的希望和骄傲，从哈佛法学院毕业之后，本可能成为一名成功律师的他毅然决定遵从父亲的意愿，穿上警服，成为执法界的一员。 来自上级的一个任务让詹姆陷入了困惑之中，他被安排成为一名卧底警察，参与一桩十分危险的要案。詹姆的卧底身份是如此的隐秘与重要，以至于弗兰克即便身为局长，也对此一无所知，面对这个有可能改变他一生的选择，詹姆该何去何从？他和家人，以及女友西德尼（Dylan Moore 饰）之间的关系又会因此而发生怎样的改变呢。

　　The second series of Outnumbered began on 15 November 2008. New characters in the second series include Barbara (Lorraine Pilkington), the next door neighbour who is meant to be brilliant at raising her children and always highlights Sue's problems,[5] and Jo, a female friend of Jake's, played by Michaela Brooks. Pete and Sue are suspicious that Jo may actually be Jake's girlfriend, although there is no evidence to suggest that Jake and Jo are more than friends. Angela appears less prominently in the second series than in the first, although she still appears in the first episode. Sue's demanding boss, unseen character Veronica, is replaced by another unseen character, Sue's new boss Tyson, who Pete is suspicious of. It is revealed in the final episode of Series 2 that Tyson was a conman.

26 岁的奥托自以为人生尽在掌握。当初恋男友鲍里斯突然分手，挚友伦特又离开了他们心爱的布鲁塞尔城，他陷入前所未有的迷茫。于是他用露水情缘填补内心空洞，开始在这座活力四射的布鲁塞尔酷儿圈寻找自我定位。揣着网络虚拟人格的他，一头扎进充斥着午夜狂欢、同志酒吧与身份探索的奇幻世界。

　　为了保护自己的家人，一名警探掩盖了一桩谋杀案。但他的搭档却怀疑有人捣鬼，致使他身陷一场事关职责的危险游戏。

　　For the Goodman family, Friday Night meijubar.net Dinner is just like Sunday lunch: just take two days away, add an extra course and you've pretty much got it.
　　Adam and his brother Jonny view Friday night dinner as a necessary annoyance - necessary because they get fed, and annoying because, well, they have to spend the evening with Mum and Dad. It's not that Mum and Dad aren't wonderful. But Dad slugs ketchup straight from the bottle, Mum is obsessed with Masterchef, and Grandma likes to wear her new bikini around the house.

　　波士顿法律》(Boston Legal)第五季将是最后一季，而且只有13集。
　　近日传来了演员变动消息，曾扮演“三明治老太”Catherine Piper的女演员Betty White将回归。“三明治老太”可以说是《波士顿法律》最具喜剧色彩的老妇，她曾经和一桩谋杀案有牵连，后来进入了律师事务所做兼职，并且卖起了三明治。
　　第五季还将新增女演员Kimberly Williams-Paisley客串。
　　另外第四季中的英国美女律师Saffron Burrows将离开《波士顿法律》，加盟NBC电视台的新剧《My Own Worst Enemy》。
　　《波士顿法律》是美国ABC电视台的重头戏《律师本色》(The Practice)的姐妹剧，它讲述 Alan Shore 为一家律师事务所工作期间发生的故事及案件。故事集中在波士顿的一家高级律师所里，主要以民事诉讼案件为主。这些聪明的代理人必须处理法律允许他们做和该如何对抗他们不能做的。 当基本上尝试的时候，他们将会面对社会的和道德的议题。 这难解幽默感的系列究竟把我们带到怎样的故事里？
　　《波士顿法律》不是那么传统的剧集，它是著名法律剧the practice的延伸，但却迅速找到了自己的位置。讲述律师事务所里的众生相以及审判室的诡计和兄弟会男孩的滑稽剧boston legal今年在金球奖最扬眉吐气的，首推以「Boston Legal」拿下影集类最佳男配角的威廉薛特纳，薛特纳过去最让人记得的角色就是《星际旅行:原初系列》(Star Trek:TOS)里的舰长Kirk。

　　史蒂芬（罗比·阿梅尔 Robbie Amell 饰）本是一介平凡的少年，一次偶然中，他的脑海里传了一个神秘的声音。无法用科学来解释的怪异现象接连地在史蒂芬的身上发生了，史蒂芬发现自己竟然掌握了瞬间移动的特异功能，只是这特异功能并不听从史蒂芬个人意志的指挥，这也就意味着，就连史蒂芬自己也不知道，下一秒，他将出现在哪里，身处何处。
　　痛苦之中，史蒂芬开始向脑海里声音求助，根据声音的指引，史蒂芬找到了和自己有着相似经历的少年们，他们是约翰（卢克·米切尔 Luke Mitchell 饰）、卡拉（佩顿·利斯特 Peyton List 饰）和罗素（艾伦·余 Aaron Yoo 饰）。找到了“组织”之后，史蒂芬的生活会遭遇怎样的改变呢？
