娃娃脸第二季

　　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。

　　Set in London, SPOTLESS is the story of a troubled crime scene cleaner, Jean, whose tidy life is turned upside down when his outlaw brother Martin crash lands into his world, entangling them in the deadly dynamics of organized crime.

　　《非常病患》是部别具一格、鼓舞人心的新剧集，故事主角是患有轻度脑瘫的男同性恋莱恩，他决定改写自我身份，并最终追求自己向往的生活。经过多年没有前途的实习，穿着睡衣当博主并主要通过文字进行交流，莱恩最终找到改变凄凉，迎来光芒的出路，开始磕磕绊绊长大成人。这部标新立异的喜剧改编自剧集创剧人兼主演的莱恩·欧康纳的半自传书籍《我很特别：以及我们告诉自己的其他谎言》（I’m Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves）。欧康纳将与吉姆·帕森斯共同担任监制。

　　第二季结尾，蒂娜终于对贝蒂说出了大家期待已久的话。可在本季故事中，贝蒂与蒂娜的分歧加深，尤其在抚养小安的教育问题上更是争吵不断。贝蒂的姐姐凯特（帕姆·格里尔 Pam Grier饰）和小安的男保姆擦出火花。爱丽丝对德纳与莱拉（劳伦·李·史密斯 Lauren Lee Smith饰）的复合伤心不已，却仍对她念念不忘。不幸降临在了德纳的身上——被检测出患乳癌，最终抢救无效，因病去世。詹妮与马克斯（丹尼艾拉·席 Daniela Sea饰）相爱。可马克斯却注射了雄性荷尔蒙，并且不满詹妮在别人面前提到她变性。夏恩与卡门正处在热恋中，她还得到了卡门母亲的喜爱。卡门终于同意了夏恩的求婚，可夏恩却在婚礼上逃婚了……
