It's TV for a generation of attention deficit disordered kids.

"Painkiller Jane" doesn't soar to the dramatic heights of "Battlestar," but it is a step above some of the network's other programs, a procedural thriller with a sense of humor and stylish action scenes.

The show is gently entertaining in a way reminiscent of variety shows of old.

It's another one of those dismissable, disposable, oh-so-slight comedies.

A highly entertaining and addictive costume drama.

Where the travails, conquests and bad behavior in "Entourage" come off as dramatic, clever and imaginative, "Sons of Hollywood" is just like any other celebreality show: More boorish behavior by rich people.

The radio show is so much about voice and language and storytelling, I worried that the TV folks would mess it up. Luckily, the radio show's host, Ira Glass, hasn't allowed that to happen.

Like "30 Rock," "Barker" is more absurd and goofy than it is broadly funny, but it's definitely not as mainstream.

As close-ended procedurals go, "Raines" certainly offers an intriguing hook, but I'm not sure it's one with much staying power.

"October Road" is perhaps one of the most clumsily plotted, illogical drama pilots to be produced in years.

"Halfway House" is occasionally amusing but the characters are not well-formed.

"The Riches" certainly has some rich elements -- there's even a little dark humor, just not enough of it -- but in early episodes, the show remains wobbly as it tries to find its footing.

[A] cute wisp of a series.

"The Winner" may not be able to go the distance, but it's a fun little show in the here and now.

A zippy, fun update.

If you enjoy complex, murky dramas about morally ambiguous characters, played by a talented cast of newcomers, then enjoy "The Black Donnellys" while it lasts.

It's a rollicking adventure with decent special effects and better stories and character development than, say, Sci Fi Channel's "Eureka."

Besides being uninspired, "Rules" isn't all that funny.

An engrossing thriller... a welcome return to the juicy, complex miniseries of old.

Dresden's investigations amount to a lot of ho-hum hokum... and his relationships are largely paint-by-number bland.

The show is subtitled, which helps viewers understand the thick accents and British slang, but the whole thing is a bit nihilistic and the characters come across as somewhat debased.

"24" still maintains some of its trademark intensity, but too often in these first four hours, the show is smack-your-forehead laughable.

HBO's most obtuse, impenetrable series.

Never thought a TV comedy would leave me wistful for Silverman's NBC bomb "The Single Guy," but "In Case of Emergency" manages to do just that.

It's a cute show, but the premise is so paper-thin you have to wonder how the writers will sustain "Knights" for a full season, let alone many years, if successful.

A soapy, shallow look at how gossip is currency in Hollywood.

"The Lost Room" is certainly a more creative exercise than past Sci Fi miniseries (including "The Triangle"), but it sometimes feels rushed.

Another edge-of-your-seat thriller.
