A sober, intelligent, placidly paced drama as only the Canadians can make.

[These women make] instant impact, of course, with their stories but also through sheer personality.

Unassuming Longmire doesn't shout "LOVE ME!" but instead works its charms subtly, quietly.

The feel is more documentary than "reality" show, which some viewers will appreciate and others won't.

Dogs is a perfectly pleasant show based on the perfectly reasonable proposition that dogs are people, too.

Stellar production, famous leads. What's missing? Heart.

Violent and dull.

TBS' entry only lacks "Sex and the City's" craft in writing, characterizations, plot, production and wit.

One thing you can say for USA: It knows what it's doing. It's got its shtick, and it's sticking to it.

Hardly a treasure, but a lively island of adventure.

One of the flat-out funniest half-hours of television in the English-speaking world.

de Cadenet's interesting. Her talk show is much less so.

Thought I was going to hate "Total Blackout." Then couldn't help laughing out loud.

Nothing remotely lurid in either show [7 Days of Sex and The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet].

The show has sneaky depth. The leads are pretty without being "pretty," refreshingly down-to-earth likable, and able to flesh out their youthful stereotypes with this weird thing called personality.

Some amusing lines, but otherwise a disappointing misfire.

Watch this, and you'll be tuning in next week.

Extremely funny and extremely raunchy (consider yourself warned), but Dunham's a major talent.

They honor the job without trivializing it, or turning it into melodramatic entertainment pap for the masses.

Raunchy and at times genuinely funny, Apartment 23 is jam-packed with promise--and inconsistencies.

Falco, Eve Best (Ellie O'Hara) and Anna Deavere Smith (Gloria Akalitus) are flawless, and... very amusing.

First impression of the third season is a good one.

Still very high quality, and still a tiny bit dull.

BFF is not bad--classify this as another Young Urban New York-based sitcom--but it's not great, either, or certainly not smart enough, or different enough, or flat-out funny enough to deserve anything other than the bleak future that now appears preordained.

Clear away the soap bubbles, and you'll find ... more soap bubbles. But you won't be bored.

Sleepy, listless, dull. But it has a great set; the beach and clouds on the horizon are alluring.

You may hate yourself for laughing--just don't be too surprised if and when you do.

TV's best (but do your homework before diving in).
