  1. It feels so close to actual American life that it lacks the gut excitement that would take it over the line into true entertainment. [9 Oct 2006, p.41]

  2. If you want edge, here's Dexter. [9 Oct 2006, p.41]
    • People Weekly
  3. [A] delicious over-the-top comedy. [2 Oct 2006, p.45]
    • People Weekly
  4. It's pleasant enough--and thankfully it's not zany. The problem is that Danson's crisis is believable midlife comedy, while the patients' neuroses are closer to stock. [9 Oct 2006, p.41]
    • People Weekly
  5. You go on the lam, and you find Laguna Beach. [2 Oct 2006, p.45]
    • People Weekly
  6. The show's fun, and a little freaky. [2 Oct 2006, p.45]
    • People Weekly
  7. The show wants to mix in big themes (politics, money) with a family soap opera, but it just feels bloated and vague. [25 Sep 2006, p.43]
    • People Weekly
  8. The show's a letdown, especially since it comes with one of the most lovingly assembled casts of any series. [9 Oct 2006, p.41]
    • People Weekly
  9. Woods is every bit as entertaining as he strives to be. [25 Sep 2006, p.43]
    • People Weekly
  10. Mostly it feels like an instructional film about disaster preparedness. [2 Oct 2006, p.45]
    • People Weekly
  11. It's a gripper. [25 Sep 2006, p.43]
    • People Weekly
  12. The pyrotechnics involved in the opening heist are good, and the cast is a dream. [25 Sep 2006, p.43]
    • People Weekly
  13. The Class doesn't necessarily generate more laughs than other sitcoms, but it has more charm--like a kinder, gentler How I Met Your Mother--and that's incentive enough to stick with it. [16 Oct 2006, p.39]
    • People Weekly
  14. The show feels weighed down by its own clout. [25 Sep 2006, p.43]
    • People Weekly
  15. Andy's humiliations as a minor celebrity aren't quite as funny as was his earlier shame at being a nobody, but as a satire of showbiz vanity, Extras can still be described as (what else?) stellar. [29 Jan 2007, p.43]
    • People Weekly
  16. [It] looks like Sex and the City relocated to Northern Exposure. [18 Sep 2006, p.39]
    • People Weekly
  17. Path sometimes feels like 24 downsized into The Office. [18 Sep 2006, p.39]
    • People Weekly
  18. Well, a mil doesn't go far these days, and neither does this series. [4 Sep 2006, p.41]
    • People Weekly
  19. With sharp camera work, pulsating music and no tedious, gimme-an-Emmy closeups, it's like CSI at warp speed. [4 Sep 2006, p.41]
    • People Weekly
  20. The case seems more like a good crusade for Nancy Grace than the starting point for a series. [28 Aug 2006, p.35]
    • People Weekly
  21. The best thing from Season 1 remains the same: Mary-Louise Parker. [21 Aug 2006, p.37]
    • People Weekly
  22. The show borrows from Northern Exposure, Twin Peaks, maybe the corporate drama Profit--too many to gauge how it'll develop. [24 Jul 2006, p.33]
    • People Weekly
  23. The acting in the kickoff episode is awfully anemic, and that's no lie. [24 Jul 2006, p.33]
    • People Weekly
  24. [A] rattling good series. [10 Jul 2006, p.39]
    • People Weekly
  25. Unlike Monk, a gently comic character coping with mental illness, Roday's just an overgrown kid. [10 Jul 2006, p.39]
    • People Weekly
  26. These joined stories never forge into one strong plot, but there's always Duvall. [3 Jul 2006, p.35]
    • People Weekly
  27. [Viewers] may get a kick out of the mix of adrenaline and murk. [26 Jun 2006, p.41]
    • People Weekly
  28. The show isn't all that different from Bravo's recent Real Housewives of Orange County, although the production values are much higher--everything has an expensive, carefully lit feminine gloss that perfectly matches the homemakers. [19 Jun 2006, p.37]
    • People Weekly
  29. It's pleasant, but not promising enough to care about beyond a one-episode stand. [19 Jun 2006, p.37]
    • People Weekly
  30. Scott's performance is totally believable, but that doesn't mean you want to ride shotgun with him in such a tired vehicle. [19 Jun 2006, p.37]
