  1. It's like a David Mamet parody of Roseanne. [19 Jun 2006, p.37]
    • People Weekly
  2. Entourage remains supremely good-natured. [19 Jun 2006, p.37]
    • People Weekly
  3. It's a gauge of how much reality programming has changed TV that I kept thinking that Mark Burnett could come in, push some situational hot buttons and produce a better show. [12 Jun 2006, p.39]
    • People Weekly
  4. I kept wishing for a rose ceremony to perk things up. [8 May 2006, p.39]
    • People Weekly
  5. An explosion of fireworks. [1 May 2006, p.39]
    • People Weekly
  6. This is all nicely produced with mild offbeat tweaks along the way... But none of this is original either. [24 Apr 2006, p.39]
    • People Weekly
  7. This new four-hour version... trims back the pageantry and tries for a degree of modern psychological realism. [17 Apr 2006, p.43]
    • People Weekly
  8. The show is just as bad as several other recent WB shows (Modern Men, The Bedford Diaries), neither cartoonish enough nor realistic enough to register as anything more than a conceptual shell with a handful of dried peas rattling inside. [24 Apr 2006, p.39]
    • People Weekly
  9. It's like Lisa Kudrow's Comeback without the satiric contempt. [10 Apr 2006, p.35]
    • People Weekly
  10. It feels less like Freud's fun house than an opportunity for one performer after another to launch into frenzied, vituperative speeches. [24 Apr 2006, p.39]
    • People Weekly
  11. As an ensemble they are, like their teacher, attractive but not very exciting. [10 Apr 2006, p.35]
    • People Weekly
  12. This is all well done, and it's a great-looking production, but the weight of the drama keeps tugging toward a side plot about Braugher's 14-year-old stepdaughter. [10 Apr 2006, p.35]
    • People Weekly
  13. The show makes Survivor look like a utopia. [17 Apr 2006, p.43]
    • People Weekly
  14. Just about perfect in its way--always fun, well-paced--and much, much better than UPN's failed models drama South Beach. [1 May 2006, p.39]
    • People Weekly
  15. The show has a sheen that's distinctive from Law [& Order]--young, exfoliated skin reflects light better from waxed court floors--and promises to be more fun than In Justice. [6 Mar 2006, p.41]
    • People Weekly
  16. The show... is partly improvised, a stunt used to richer effect on ABC's upcoming Sons & Daughters. [6 Mar 2006, p.41]
    • People Weekly
  17. The tone here can be offputtingly strange: brittle, flinty yet over the top. [20 Feb 2006, p.37]
    • People Weekly
  18. [It] looks to be a season of solid suspense. [30 Jan 2006, p.37]
    • People Weekly
  19. It just doesn't work. [30 Jan 2006, p.38]
    • People Weekly
  20. The narrative seems unduly baggy and stretched out, nothing so sharply defined as a triangle. More like a rhomboid. [12 Dec 2005, p.39]
    • People Weekly
  21. The second half builds steadily and surely toward a potential meet-and-greet with the apocalypse. [12 Dec 2005, p.39]
    • People Weekly
  22. The camera work is shaky, the music is gritty, and the endings aren't always happy. But the fact that you can almost smell the B.O. on some of the people piling into that truck makes it a raw, more real alternative to the usual sugary sweet. [21 Nov 2005, p.43]
    • People Weekly
  23. Silly. [7 Nov 2005, p.41]
    • People Weekly
  24. Horror isn't my thing, but this is pretty good. [7 Nov 2005, p.41]
    • People Weekly
  25. It's an awful story, and it deserves a better production than this. [31 Oct 2005, p.39]
    • People Weekly
  26. Unlike Daily anchorman Jon Stewart, he's not only ridiculing the headlines but mocking himself. This is closer to acting than comedy, and it may be tougher. But Stephen Colbert is a great American and deserves our support. And suppore. [7 Nov 2005, p.41]
    • People Weekly
  27. Maybe Prinze should just clear the soundstage of all these people, stand there alone and start over. [24 Oct 2005, p.41]
    • People Weekly
  28. Hot Properties has a loose, engaging silliness. [31 Oct 2005, p.39]
    • People Weekly
  29. The banter is warm and fast and easy, and the sisters' personality types balance out well. [17 Oct 2005, p.39]
    • People Weekly
  30. Finnigan's performance dovetails perfectly with Close's neat if heavy- handed dramatic concept. [17 Oct 2005, p.39]
