老友记第四季

　　改编自史提芬京 (Stephen King) 畅销小说人物的 The Dead Zone 是一套集动作、浪漫、超自然及冒险于一身的心理学恐怖片集。
　　Johnny Smith (Anthony Michael Hall 饰演) 于小镇中过着平凡的生活，本身是自然科学教师的他喜欢向学生们展示出大自然的奥秘，在他身边的除了他深爱的未婚妻 Sarah (Nicole de Boer 饰演) 之外，还有以他引以为荣的母亲。Johnny 本拥有着几乎完美的生活，直至某天他发生车祸，使他一直昏迷不醒为止。
　　六年后，Johnny 终于恢复知觉及清醒，但他所认知的世界已变得面目全非。除了他的母亲已过身外，他的未婚妻 Sarah 亦下嫁了另一人且生了小孩。但这些事以他来说还不是太重要，因为他竟发现自已拥有一种惊人的 超自然力量，只要他接触到其它人或对象时便会发生。在离开医院之前，他p凭着超自然的幻觉得知其护士之女儿正身处险境，从而能够及时把她的女儿救出。
　　现在，Johnny 除了尝试适应昏迷六年后的生活外，还需要把不知道是福是祸的超自然力量弄走，继续以普通人的姿态生活。帮助 Johnny 恢服体能的物理治疗师 Bruce (John L. Adams 饰演) 由医院相识后因了解得太多而渐渐变成他的好友；而他母亲的牧师 Gene Purdy (David Ogden Stiers 饰演) 则为了他建立了一笔基金，待他有需要时便可使用；另外，Sarah 亦尝试一方面与 Johnny 保持关系，另一方面不影响与她丈夫 (Chris Bruno 饰演) 与及儿子的关系。
　　本剧集由 Star Trek 系列编剧 Michael Piller 及其子 Shawn Piller 制作，于2002年6月16日在 USA Network 首播，并创下六千四百万的收视纪录，同时亦打破基本有线电视节目首播的收视纪录。

　　Cold Case不同于CSI把犯罪调查过程象记录片似的呈现在观众眼前，也没有众多当今尖端科技的支持，在该剧中，几乎没有任何和CSI类似的关于用高科技分析尸体来寻找线索的场面，Lilly Rush，作为费城凶杀调查科的唯一女探员，构成了这部以调查陈年旧案为主题的电视剧的绝对核心人物。

　　跟随着这群风靡全球的角色人物的生活和命运一起，波尔达克这个伟大的家族传奇终于迎来了最终季。新的世纪带来了新的希望，但过去的阴霭仍然笼罩着康沃尔。波达克希望更多时间陪伴自己所爱的人们，但却因为一位故交的恳求而受到了考验。德米尔扎此时正在离故乡不远的地方与危险抗争，而乔治正在追寻影响了整个帝国的权利、欲望和腐败。

　　New One Tree Hill season 9 photo features happy Brooke reunited with her estranged dad. CW recently dropped a couple,new premiere photos for it’s upcoming “One Tree Hill” 9th and final scene. This particular photo shows a very happy, Brooke David,reuniting with her long lost father,played by actor Richard Burgi.
　　It looks like the first episode will be a little mellow compared to what I’ve heard is supposed to eventually go down. I guess you’ve got to start off a little light with these sort of things. However, once they get into it,we’re going to see crazy Dan Scott return to try and get his murdering thing going again. He’ll be spotted with a gun.
　　Brooke isn’t going to be looking so happy when she’s spotted vandalizing a restaurant. Julian smile will be turned into an instant frown when he gets the everliving crap beat out of him. Haley won’t be smiling,either,after she identifies a dead body. Chase won’t look like such a nice guy when he’s handcuffed,and taken to jail. Oh,and I’m sure there’s more,just you wait and see. This last season is going out with a mega bang,for sure. It kicks off this Wednesday, January 11th at 7pm central time on the CW.

　　作为“美国式英雄”的代表，“超人”其实从未离我们远去。至少在电视上如此。这部连续剧是在1993年由美国华纳兄弟影视集团推出的,到1997年为止一共拍了四部,和中国广大观众见面的只是其中的两部。1993年，ABC电视台播出了电视版本的新超人，现在红透荧屏的“绝望的主妇” 泰瑞海切尔是该剧的女一号。该剧叙述了克拉克进入大城市工作以及和露易斯的感情故事，并以此为故事主线，更多的强调了“新超人”作为人的真实感情与谈吐举止，再加上新的拍摄手法和科幻成分，它的播出影响了很大一批年轻的观众。在第四季中，Lois和Clark最终走进了幸福的婚姻殿堂。当然在结婚的前后还是有一些波折，他们的生活总是这么充满惊心动魄的刺激。当他们终于历经重重磨难走到一起的时候，又有新的状况发生了。超人的生物性与地球人不同，因此即便他们夫妇两个都非常想要个小孩子...------木小北

　　《帕丁顿熊》“Mrs.Bird” Julie Walters将和《疑犯追踪》“Alonzo” Clarke Peters将联袂主演由《去他*的世界》主创Charlie Covell以及《真实的人类》Iain Weatherby担任编剧的六集电视剧《真爱》（Truelove）。
　　由于两名主演的年龄都超过了70岁（其它共同主演也基本超过了60岁），Channel 4表示希望通过独特、凄美还带着些黑暗风格的本剧来打破过往荧幕上对老年角色的种种规则，也会用引人入胜的情节转折、放肆的幽默以及充满激情的浪漫，在这个颠覆性的故事来向年龄歧视进行“开炮”。
　　剧中，Julie饰演“Phil”，从警长职位退休下来的她开始过着自己舒适却又无聊的晚年生活；和她有着相同感受的“Ken”（Clarke饰演），目前已经离婚、曾经是名特工。年少时期就认识的两人，从未忘记过对方。
　　某天，在一位朋友的葬礼上，Phil与Ken还有一帮老朋友重逢。在怀旧、畅饮的气氛之下，开始渐渐深入对人生的思考；大家讨论着什么叫做“理想的”离开，而彼此也达成约定：与其接受缓慢、让人可怕的年龄衰退，不如大家策划一个充满尊严的死亡。
　　参与本剧的还包括：《唐顿庄园》“Miss Denker” Sue Johnston、《尝试》“Victor” Phil Davis、《不可遗忘》“Martin” Peter Egan、《我的妈呀》“Reg” Karl Johnson、《家裂》“Rose” Fiona Button以及《纯粹》“Shereen”Kiran Sonia Sawar。
　　Julie表示自己其实已经因为没有什么吸引人的项目而基本决定退出演艺圈，但直到遇到这部剧，她被其中的写作所震撼——它以我们这些已经身处晚年的人为背景，有着黑色幽默、爱情故事以及惊悚元素；而女主“Phil”聪明、风趣、犀利的性格也同样让她喜欢，在我这样的年纪，我能有多少机会扮演女主角？这让我迫不及待地想与Channel 4展开合作。而Clarke也补充道Charlie和Iain的剧本以自己从未见过的方式探索了“是否要帮爱的人以它想要的方式完结生命”的这种道德困境，它有趣、黑暗并且充满了悬念。

　　《迷幻学院》（Tower Prep）是卡通频道今年播出的第二部原创真人剧集。与《奇妙的历史》（Unnatural History）轻松愉快的氛围不同，《迷幻学院》存在悬疑情节，更贴近于成人故事（即所谓的「teen adult story」）。故事讲述性格冲动好斗的少年Ian Archer一觉醒来后发现自己来到了一家神秘的学院，学员们都是和他一样有特殊能力的青少年。Ian试图和其他三名同学一起逃跑，但最终失败了。他们下决心要查明事情的真相。

　　根据畅销吸血鬼小说《南方吸血鬼》（Southern Vampire）改编。
　　人们害怕吸血鬼的时代已经过去，如今是变成吸血鬼害怕人类。在路易斯安纳州的小镇Bon Temps上，电视谈话节目日日讨论到底要不要让吸血鬼合法权益通过，赞成的人和反对的人态度一样激烈。吸血鬼不需要再通过吸人血或者是动物的血来维生，而是去购买由日本人出产的——真血（true blood）。
　　我们的女主角Sookie Stackhouse（Anna Paquin 饰）是小镇上普通的女招待，她不普通的地方在于她能听见人们心底的话音，这个特异功能不但让她备受困扰，更令她数次恋爱失败。当她与Bill Compton（Stephen Moyer饰）相遇时，她惊喜地发现她听不见对方内心的声音！Bill 是一个吸血鬼，吸血鬼的社会地位不高让他每次出现都好像一个异类，只有善良天真的Sookie从不用异样目光看待他……本片妙趣横生，对吸血鬼这个弱势群体进行了生动的描摹。
