"Thief" offers strong moments aplenty, but what it lacks are strong connections, both between those moments and among some of its characters.

It's an entertaining enough diversion if you're not expecting much.

Showing the evidence really adds nothing as the story twists, turns and contorts itself in an attempt to keep viewers from tuning out before the hour is up.

I'll give "Unan1mous" this: At least it's more efficient than some reality shows, wasting only a half-hour of a viewer's time. But that's still 30 minutes you don't have to spend wallowing in this muck.

A crummy comedy.

Tonight's premiere is often a huge time-waster, but when it's not boring viewers with the umpteenth meet-the-judges segment and sticks to introducing wacky inventors, it's kind of a hoot.

A lively comedy.

The writing in "Old Christine" is occasionally funny in a low-key way, but too often the show is a bore.

Maintains the quality viewers have come to expect.

By the third episode... "Big Love" becomes an addictive treat.

"Black. White." makes you think, makes you want to have a conversation about racial issues and makes you examine your own beliefs and biases. How often does a TV show do that?

A not-awful but not-great drama.

Personally, I found "Arrested" funnier, but "Sons & Daughters" has its moments.

When it comes to both character and story, there's really not much in "Conviction" viewers haven't seen before.

More of an amusing diversion than a laugh riot.

"Mrs. Harris" is interesting but not intimate. It's cold, aloof and distant, much like the relationship it depicts between the principal characters.

This story of two computer I.T. guys and their computer illiterate boss is overly obvious and plays on stereotypes in an over-the-top way that may have been au courant in the '80s but feels woefully dated today.

The acting talent here is marginal compared to the sitcom it replaces, "Out of Practice" (returning later in the season), but I found "Courting Alex" more enjoyable.

A high-gloss series with production values just as significant as what we see on American TV, it's worth checking into Hotel Babylon if you're seeking a respite from reality--TV shows or otherwise.

A thoroughly enjoyable series, the kind that makes you smile throughout and occasionally burst out laughing.

It's the most thrilling premiere hour of "24" yet.

It's an entertaining hour sure to appeal to fans of A&E's equally fast-paced British import "MI-5."

"Crumbs" elicits laughs from time to time, but given the subject matter, I still think this particular story would have been better told as a comedic drama than as the occasionally dramatic comedy that it is.

Filled with terrible dialogue.

Lightweight and unaffecting.

Perfectly adequate.

It's disappointing that Kenny felt the need to make this series so far over the top, because at its core, there's a great family show worth watching.

There's nothing revolutionary about this story of four friends.
