  1. Here’s the kind of firm even “Boston Legal’s” Denny Crane would have the sense to close down. And I don’t think I’ve ever sat through so many penis jokes in the 8 p.m. hour.
  2. Fox’s Human Target is the closest thing on TV to swigging a keg of Red Bull. It’s one hour of pure energy, a blast of fun action and stunts.
  3. The show is often so gross, one is tempted to suggest that our local arts schools should start steering its graduates toward more meaningful fields--such as automotive mechanics or doggy waste disposal. But Blue is also frequently funny in a raunchy “American Pie” way.
  4. The show’s formula--particularly the ease in which the villains track down Chuck--is getting creaky.
  5. The characters carry themselves with the kind of decency, maturity and occasional playfulness that is virtually unseen on prime time.
  6. This spy spoof hits a bull’s-eye with risque snark and one of the best vocal casts assembled for any animated series.
  7. We all know the cliche about imitation serving as the sincerest form of flattery, but this dumb show takes sucking up to levels of criminal laziness.
