Star: Margaret Cho. Credits: Executive Producer: Margaret Cho, Rico Martinez, Don Lindau. Producer: Christy Spitzer. Review: “As a comic, Cho almost seems too successful for VH-1’s talent profiles, but the latest showcase suffers from an increasingly reality TV deficiency: it’s too staged to be convincing and too unscripted to be reliably funny” (Variety). 84 Chocolate News.

Chappelle’s Show ... Chocolate News ... seals a void left by those shows and fills the, er, black hole in satirical pop culture” (New York Post).

Credits: Supervising Producer: Rob Dorfman. Producer: Kymber Lim, Ian Mallahan. Field Producer: Jonathan Jones. Senior Field Producer: Chris Voos. Reviews: “Cops with a community college degree” (The Hollywood Reporter). “Crime 360 ... is one of the most amateurish programs about professional homicide detectives you’ll see this year ... and it’s not because of content but because of over-the-top graphics and sound effects” (New York Post). 112
Crusoe. (Series; Adventure; NBC; Premiered: October 17, 2008) “Hell is wherever a man is if it keeps him from what he loves,” laments Robinson Crusoe, an Englishman who has been separated from his wife, family and friends as the result of a shipwreck (caught in a storm at sea) that has marooned him on a remote island in South Africa (17th century). As the only survivor, and with no apparent hope of escape, Crusoe establishes a home in a tree and forges an array of ingenious contraptions designed to protect him and his fortress (it is assumed his dog, Dundee, also survived the shipwreck). At an unspecified time thereafter, Crusoe acquires a companion, a cannibal that he names Friday (“Because I found him on a Friday”) when he saves him from a group of cannibals that came to the island to offer him as a sacrifice. Friday, who can speak 12 languages, immediately bonds with his savior and now the two look out for each other. Stories relate their efforts to survive while at the same time seek a

114 / Cupid’s way off the island. Flashback sequences are used to detail Robinson’s life in England as a child, with his fiancée, then wife, Susannah, and his mentor, the mysterious Jeremiah Blackthorne. Several episodes feature the character of Olivia, a woman knowledgeable in medicine, who, to survive a mutinous takeover of the ship on which she is traveling, disguises herself as a man (Oliver) and becomes a nurse to the ship’s doctor. When the mutineers use Crusoe’s island as a site to fix their damaged ship, Olivia meets and befriends Crusoe and Friday and each helps the other through a series of adventures that eventually defeat the mutineers but to protect Friday from a captain who wants to sell him as a slave, Crusoe elects not to join Olivia on her voyage back to England.

Reviews: “Handsomely shot and offering old fashioned end-of-the-week escapism, albeit with a character unable to escape his own Purgatory. That said, this would work better as a limited series than an open-end one” (Variety). “Here’s what it is like to be marooned with little hope of rescue and have to get by with few resources. No, it’s not about NBC, but it’s on NBC” (The Hollywood Reporter).

Producer: John Quaintance, Kevin Slattery. Music: Paul Buckley. Reviews: “They say sitcoms are just one hit away from making a comeback to their previous glory. Maybe so, but Do Not Disturb isn’t it.

144 A Double Shot at Love. (Series; Reality; MTV; Premiered: December 9, 2008) If one bisexual woman (Tila Tequila) can seek a mate on the series A Shot at Love with Tequila, why not gorgeous bisexual twins (Rikki and Vikki Ikki)? With that thought in mind, A Double Shot at Love literally places Rikki and Vikki against each other as they are introduced to both male and female singles who compete in challenges to win the affections of the twins. The first episode however does not reveal to the contestants that the “girl” they seek is actually twins. In sequences reminiscent of the adult film The Good Girls of Godiva High the twins seduce the singles as one girl (each taking a turn and letting the subjects believe it is the same girl. While one twin seduces, the other watches the action via closed circuit TV). “Shock” is expressed when the contestants learn that Rikki and Vikki are twins and the program proceeds to hit rock bottom as it allows viewers to see the “action” as Rikki and Vikki battle each other for their perfect mate. Stars: Rikki Ikki, Vikki Ikki. Credits: Executive Producer: Sally Ann Salsano, Scott Jeffrees. Supervising Producer: Pam LaLima. Producer: Amy Griggs. Review: “MTV generally doesn’t send programs out for review, and absorbing an utterly mindless exercise like A Double Shot at Love ... it’s clear why” (Variety).

Reviews: “The series does have an engaging star ... and a willingness to tackle spiritual issues, but ... ground Eli’s journey with advocating for the little guy court cases” (Variety). “Eli Stone nibbles at the corners of other series, including Ghost Whisperer and Saving Grace that will ... guide Stone from his unacceptable atheism to a more conventional belief in a divine spirit” (The Hollywood Reporter).

Supervising Producer: Ken Lipman. Reviews: “Factory quickly devolves into a meaningless slapstick of goofy faces and a forced awkwardness that suggests the vision of someone who has watched Curb Your Enthusiasm over and over but still has
42 not figured out what makes it so funny” (The Hollywood Reporter). “While it’s unlikely this Factory will mass-produce anytime soon, sticking with these Cro-Magnons could pay dividends down the line” (Variety).

The title should do a reasonably good job of describing the show’s audience” (Variety).

It’s like dog camp but done as a reality show” (New York Post). 219 Greatest Holiday Moments: Holiday Home Video Countdown.

220 Greatest Holiday Moments: Songs of the Season Countdown. (Special; Variety; NBC; December 12, 2008) A look at the “top” twenty Christmas songs of “all” time. The countdown begins with number twenty (“It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” performed by Andy Williams) to the number one song (“White Christmas” by Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra).

The selections presented are, for the most part, ridiculous, as they are not representative of truly great

Credits: Executive Producer: Larry Levinson, Robert Halmi Jr. Co-Executive Producer: H. Daniel Gross. Producer: Albert T. Dickerson III. Writer: Jim Byrnes. Director: Armand Mastroianni. Music: Nathan Furst. Reviews: “The only thing that separates Hallmark Channel’s A Gunfighter’s Pledge 223
H20 / 225 from being a top-notch Western is its farfetched story, questionable casting, misleading title and stereotyped characters. The scenery is terrific, though and the costumes are perfect” (The Hollywood Reporter). “The Pledge ... adorns itself with a few pieces of genre cliché, a few recognizable scenarios and nothing else ... it provides Western fans with exactly what they want, then wraps up and heads home. B pictures used to work like this, and now too, does the Pledge” (DVD Talk).

Review: “Put the words Law and Order: SVU [referring to the show’s star, Christopher Meloni] and gym teacher together in the same sentence and your first thought is likely to be ‘this can’t read well.’ But put those few words in Nickelodeon’s hands and you’ve got yourself a TV movie that the whole family can enjoy” (New York Post).

With evening approaching the girls take refuge in a cave. There, they discover a pool that Emma believes could lead to the ocean. (While it is not shown, it is assumed that the girls’ parents have become worried over their daughters’ disappearance and have called the Water Police.) Emma swims the length of the pool and discovers that it does lead to the ocean. She convinces Cleo and Rikki to swim the underwater channel to safety. As the girls swim through the channel, a mysterious glow from a full moon engulfs them. The girls escape from the island and are rescued by the Water Police. The girls appear to be fine. The next day, however, life changes for each of them. When Emma goes swimming a startling metamorphous occurs: ten seconds after entering the water she turns into a beautiful mermaid; Cleo has just stepped into a bathtub when she becomes a mermaid; Rikki, walking across a lawn, is sprinkled with water and she too becomes a mermaid. While not shown, when the water evaporates from their mermaid scales, they return to normal. The girls quickly adjust to the fact that water has changed their lives. They do acquire the power over water but must avoid unnecessary contact with it to keep their secret safe. Stories follow events in the lives of Cleo, Emma and Rikki as they struggle to cope with and conceal their true identities while at the same time facing the everyday problems teenage girls face. Lewis is their friend, a scientist, who seeks a way to reverse the process; Kim is Cleo’s sister; Elizabeth is Emma’s brother; Miss Chatham is a teacher; Angela is Cleo’s cousin; Lisa and Neil are Emma’s parents; Bev and Don are Cleo’s parents.

Reviews: “It’s a quality piece of Australian children’s television. It looks good; the three female leads are engaging and there’s some lovely underwater photography” (The Sydney Morning Herald, Australia). “It isn’t exactly every young girl’s dream escape, but H20 comes pretty close to carrying away its target viewers on a magical mystery ride” (The Hollywood Reporter).

Host: Pat Bullard. Credits: Executive Producer: Jay Blumenfield, Tony Marsh. Co-Executive Producer: Alex Campbell. Producer: Jeff Anderson. Supervising Producer: Shannon Keenan. Show Producer: Jeff Nucera. Director: Tony Sacco. Reviews: “Here Come the Newlyweds has a strong concept but suffers from poor execution and casting, including a vote-off
230
231 / Hero element that generates absolutely zero suspense” (Variety). “For the most part, though, this is dull, unimaginative and sleep inducing. The most successful part of this show will be guessing if it stays on for its six-week run” (The Hollywood Reporter).

Reviews: “House of Saddam is too episodic to be fully engaging, providing a sporadically interesting glimpse into how cheap life was under Hussein’s brutal rule” (Variety). “House of Saddam fills in enough details for a complete picture of the devious dictator to emerge but here’s the catch.

Given the evidence, the investigation should be brief ” (Variety). “USA is rolling out In Plain Sight with a 76-minute ‘limited interruption’ premiere which ends up being more than enough to pass judgment. It’s mediocre” (The San Francisco Chronicle). “In Plain Sight could be viewed as the anti–Gossip Girl: McCormick’s Mary is a loner ... she favors Western boots made for walkin’ ... she deals in hard-won truths.

Reviews: “In Treatment’s intensity does build on the weekly progress but it’s never completely absorbing and you wonder how many viewers will commit to such a demanding regimen” (Variety). “It’s rather impossible to imagine watching an emotionally exhausting show like In Treatment ... night after night ... this is a series for which TiVo was invented if there ever was one” (The Hollywood Reporter). “...because it’s on HBO with a therapist and a sofa, In Treatment is not Tell Me You Love Me.

She is the daughter of Kathleen “Kath” Day, a single mother (a hairdresser) who has just found romance with Phil Knight, the owner of a fast food store (Phil’s Sandwich Island) in the mall. All appears to be progressing well until Kim leaves her husband of six weeks (Craig) and moves back home to live with Kath. Kim became disillusioned living with Craig (“I didn’t sign up for cooking or caring about how anybody’s day was. I’m a trophy wife”) and is now seeking to find herself but also putting a damper on Kath’s new romance. Kath is shallow and self-absorbed and admits that she is a high maintenance girl. Kim is a self-obsessed woman-child (a spoiled brat who wants things her way or no way at all). Craig, an electronics store employee (at Circuit Surplus Electronics), loves Kim and is trying to make the marriage work, but he can never seem to say what Kim wants to hear). Stories follow Kath as she tries to begin a new life and Kim as she wallows in self-pity with no apparent ambition but to find someone to treat her like she believes she should be.

68 Shannon (Kath Day), John Michael Higgins (Phil Knight), Mikey Day (Craig Baker). Credits: Executive Producer: Michelle Nader, Gina Riley, Jane Turner, Rick McKenna. Co-Executive Producer: Will Calhoun, Liz Astrof. Producer: Patrick Kienlen. Reviews: “What is hard to understand is why NBC thought this particular adaptation would work. It lacks the charm of the original [Australian]. Worse, the characters on the NBC show are so exaggerated that the whole thing feels like a skit. A very long skit” (The Hollywood Reporter). “Kath and Kim will likely have American audiences scratching their heads, wondering what Australians saw in the concept or if something was seriously lost in the translation” (Variety). “The big difference between the show in Australia and its dish water copy here is that the Australian producers know how to make fun of themselves. American TV people prefer to make fun of everything else” (New York Post).

(Series; Adventure; NBC; Premiered: September 24, 2008) An update of the 1980s series of the same title (about Michael Knight, a lone crusader who battled crime with the help of KITT, a Knight Industries 2000 car). It is the present time and a new KITT (Knight Industries 3000) has been developed. It has many improvements, including the ability to change shape and color, artificial intelligence and a super computer capable of hacking virtually any system. The morphing cars are KITT Hero (a Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 KR) that appears as an ordinary car; KITT Attack is a high speed version of the prior car that transforms into attack mode with the help of air ride technology and specialized body parts. The third vehicle, KITT Remote is a driverless version of Hero. In the original series, Wilton Knight created KITT. Here, scientist Charles Graiman makes the improvements needed to bring KITT into the 21st century. His daughter, Sarah, a 24-year-old PhD. candidate at Stanford University, is following in his footsteps. Mike Tracer, a 23-year-old ex–Army Ranger (a childhood friend of Sarah’s) is chosen to drive KITT. Carrie
282 / Kung Rivai is the FBI agent Knight Industries helps (and vice versa) to bring criminals to justice.

Credits: Executive Producer: Glen A. Larson, Doug Liman, David Bartis, Gary Scott Thompson. Co-Executive Producer: Steve Shill. Supervising Producer: Dave Andron, Sean Ryerson. Music: Christopher Tyng. Reviews (Pilot): “The two hours mostly amount to watching two people that once dated drive around together in a conspicuously product-placed Ford Mustang [KITT]. And yes, that’s just about as much fun as it sounds” (Variety). “The revival of Knight Rider ... should gladden the heart of viewers ... employed by Ford ... for the rest of us ... an elaborate commercial around which bits of story are sprinkled” (The Hollywood Reporter). Reviews (Series): “Everything that made the original unique and fun has effectively been scrubbed away from this new edition ... an hour devoid of soul” (The Hollywood Reporter). “The Knight Rider revival movie set the bar low in terms of expectations, and damned if the series premiere still doesn’t go skidding under it” (Variety).

287 Legend of the Seeker. (Series; Adventure; Syn.; Premiered: November 1, 2008) In a time that has long since been forgotten, a book called The Book of Counted Shadows was composed by unknown beings to record the secrets of power. A being called the Seeker used the book to defeat evil. A society of women called Confessors were chosen to protect the book and risk their lives to ensure the safety of the Seeker. The series is set many centuries later (in a medieval-like era) when an evil ruler, Darken Rahl, is seeking to rule the world and enslave mankind. He requires The Book of Counted Shadows to ensure that power. In an area called the Midlands, a baby boy, destined to become a Seeker, is born to a woman. To protect the baby from Rahl (who seeks to kill it), the wizard Zeddicus Zul Zorander (called Zedd) takes the baby and gives him to a young couple, George and Mary Cypher, to raise. The baby grows to become the woodsman Richard Cypher. It is thirty-three years later when Richard comes to know his true calling. Kahlan, a Confessor, has been assigned to find Richard, present him with the book and have Zedd proclaim him as the next Seeker. Rahl has sensed the presence of a new Seeker and has dispatched soldiers to destroy the Seeker and retrieve the sacred book for him. Zedd has not revealed his true nature to Richard. They are friends, but Richard believes he is a crazy old man who talks to his chickens. When Kahlan finds Zedd, Zedd reveals his true nature to Richard
288 / Legend and presents him with the Sword of Truth—forged metal to ordinary men, but a magical means to destroy evil for the true Seeker. Richard questions what he has been told until Rahl’s soldiers attack them. The ensuing battle, in which Richard finds a strength he has never known before, convinces him that what he has been told is the truth. He then learns from Kahlan about Darken Rahl and his mission: to destroy Rahl and save mankind. Stories follow Richard, Kahlan and Zedd as they set out on a dangerous quest to find Rahl and stop him before he can accomplish his goal. Hindering them is Rahl, who has issued wanted posters for Richard’s capture (one thousand gold pieces as a reward). Richard destroyed the book in the third episode (his way of acquiring the secrets of power). Rahl’s soldiers have informed him of this and now Rahl must capture Richard in order to acquire the power. Michael is Richard’s brother; Chase is Richard’s friend. Cast: Craig Horner (Richard Cypher), Bridget Regan (Kahlan Amnell), Bruce Spence (Zedd), Craig Parker (Darken Rahl), David de Latour (Michael Cypher), Jay Laga’aia (Chase).

Supervising Producer: Mike Sussman, Chad Fiveash, James Stoteraux. Producer: Chloe Smith, David Roessell, Mark Beesley. Music: Joseph LoDuca. Reviews: “There is nothing howlingly bad here ... but nothing particularly distinctive either. Rather Legend of the Seeker feels like a hodgepodge of better sci fi/fantasy fare” (Variety). “Big on style but more challenged in terms of substance, Seeker demonstrates much production savvy but at the same time too little provocative/evocative interaction aside from the ultra violet kind” (The Hollywood Reporter).

Reviews: “There’s someone besides accident-chasing legal firms to put the law on your side” (The Hollywood Reporter). “...aside from an easygoing quality and mild comic flair, there’s not much here to steal the hearts of viewers; instead it’s another lightweight addition to TNT’s dinner-style menu of comfort food for a weary nation” (Variety).

Reviews: “This third installment of TNT’s The Librarian movies benefits from nifty special effects and a wholehearted embrace of the modern-day National Treasure–type swashbuckler status” (Variety). “For the Librarian movie franchise, it turns out that the third time really is the charm. The latest (and last) in the series ... packs more humor, suspense and adventures into two hours than either of its two predecessors” (The Hollywood Reporter). “It’s a fun ride and Wyle has gotten a little better each time. That’s why it’s a shame there apparently won’t be another” (New York Daily News).

Credits: Executive Producer: Tom Werner, Mike Clements, Steve Dildarian. CoExecutive Producer: Leynete Carrapa. Reviews: Tim holds some genuine promise with its dry with and understated sensibility” (The Hollywood Reporter). “Viewed alone, in small doses, the show is pretty damn funny ... a mix of minimalist animation, wildly absurd situations and understated voice work” (Variety).

Life on Mars (British). (Series; Crime Drama; BBC America; 2008) The British series on which the American series of the same title is based (ran on BBC-One, 2006–2007). Sam Tyler is a Detective Chief Inspector with the Manchester Police Department in England. One day, during a case investigation, Sam is hit by a car and awakens in 1973 as a
295
74 member of the Manchester and Salford Police Department as Detective Inspector (his sudden presence is explained as being a transfer from another precinct). Sam quickly adjusts to the fact that he is no longer in 2006 and stories follow his efforts to follow the police procedures of the 1970s world but supplement those techniques with those he learned in the 21st century. Gene Hunt is his superior, an old fashioned cop who will break the rules to get results. Ray Carling, Chris Skelton and Annie Cartwright (also Sam’s romantic interest) work with Sam. The final episode shows Sam awakening from a coma. Believing his experiences in 1973 were real, but now feeling out of place in 2007, he climbs to the top of the police station and jumps off. He appears to return to the past, but the episode is confusing as it can also indicate that Sam may not have returned to the present. Overall, it really doesn’t tell the viewer if Sam was insane, in a coma and if he really traveled back in time. Cast: John Simm (Sam Tyler), Philip Glinster (Gene Hunt), Liz White (Annie Cartwright), Dean Andrews (Ray Carling), Marshall Lancaster (Chris Skelton). Credits: Executive Producer: Matthew Graham, Jane Featherstone, Claire Parker. Producer: Marcus Wilson. Music: Edmund Butt.
296 Life on Mars (U.S.). (Series; Crime Drama; ABC; Premiered: October 9, 2008) “I had an accident and woke up 35 years in the past. Now that either makes me a time traveler, a lunatic or I’m lying in a hospital bed in 2008 and none of this is real,” says Sam Tyler, a detective with the N.Y.P.D. 125th Precinct (called 1-2-5) in 2008 who is now a detective with the 12-5 in 1973. In 2008 Sam is romantically involved with fellow detective Maya Daniels. While investigating a case involving a kidnappermurderer, Maya appears to have been kid-
75 napped and Sam is hit by a car. The viewer sees a brief dream-like sequence as Sam awakens to find himself in 1973 — as a member of the 1-2-5 in Manhattan. His identification also reflects 1973 and he finds himself working on a case that is identical to the one he was working on in 2008. Sam believes that if he solves this case he can save Maya and return to 2008 (while Sam does solve the case, he is not transported back to his time). Sam’s sudden appearance at the 1-2-5 is accepted because he is believed to be a transfer from upstate New York. Sam quickly adjusts to the fact that he is where he is. At the precinct Sam meets his team: Gene Hunt, his superior, a rather uncouth lieutenant who believes in rough tactics; Annie Norris, a police woman (at a time when such personnel were part of the Police Woman’s Bureau and not permitted to assist on cases as men do). She has a psychology degree from Fordham University in the Bronx and lives with her parents in Queens. She is the only one who sympathetic to Sam’s plight. Chris Skelton is the rookie detective; Ray Carling is the tough, sexist detective with a chip on his shoulder. At the end of the first episode, Sam hears Maya’s voice over his car radio telling him that she is okay and asking him to come home. But how? Stories follow Sam as he seeks that answer and his efforts to incorporate the technologies of 2008 police science in an era where such things as forensic science and finger print analysis and even computers were a far-fetched dream. Based on the British series (see prior title). Cast : Jason O’Mara (Sam Tyler), Gretchen Mol (Anne Norris), Harvey Keitel (Gene Hunt), Michael Imperioli (Ray Carling), Jonathan Murray (Chris Skelton), Lisa Bonet (Maya Daniels). Credits: Executive Producer: Josh Applebaum, Andre Nemec, Scott Rosenberg, Jane Featherstone, Stephen Garrett. Co-
Lingerie / 299 Executive Producer: David Wilcox, Michael Katleman. Supervising Producer: Adele Lim, Producer: Jane Rabb. Music: Peter Nashel. Reviews: “An inexplicable trip through time injects life into the police drama genre ... if it holds its own against the final season of ER, Mars might be orbiting the schedule for years” (The Hollywood Reporter). “Every year ABC rolls the dice on one truly first rate pilot that breaks the usual mold. Life on Mars is the latest gamble... Mars offers fine performances, some intriguing images, sly satire and a terrific song score” (Variety).

Credits: Executive Producer: Oliver Goldstick, Timothy Busfield, Candace Bushnell. Producer: James Bigwood. Music: W.G. Snuffy Walden. Reviews: “With the premiere of Lipstick Jungle, it seems safe to say that if someone is going to have a hit based on three female friends in the cutthroat business world, it isn’t going to happen this season” (The Hollywood Reporter). “Lipstick Jungle is the superior product of this winter’s career-woman pals trying to have it all dramedies ... there are shreds of humanity to latch onto here if the network can lure enough young women in to respect the merchandise” (Variety). 301 Lisa Williams: Voices from the Other Side.

Reviews: “Representing the kind of ripped-from-the headlines melodrama the networks used to make, Little Girl Lost telegraphs where its going—but you’d still have to be a pretty heartless bastard to resist becoming a little choked up at the end” (Variety). “Even by Lifetime standards, the original telepic ... is wrenching, heavy-duty stuff that largely honors a real life tale with earnestness and realism” (The Hollywood Reporter).

Patrick is an independent consultant for the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI). He pays attention to details at a crime scene and notices the little things that can easily be overlooked.

Violence, nonsensical verbage and, most importantly, a built-in idea that you rule the universe” (The Hollywood Reporter). 338 Million Dollar Password.

My Own Worst Enemy. (Series; Drama; NBC; October 13, 2008 to December 15, 2008) 371
92 A secret government organization with subterranean headquarters located beneath a building at 5210 S. Grand Avenue in Los Angeles plays a key role in protecting the U.S. from her enemies. It operates under the guise of the Janus Corporation. Edward Albright is a decorated war hero, a man who can speak 13 languages and hold his breath underwater for five minutes. He believes to prove the existence of free will a person must do something he does not want to do. When he learns of an experiment that will test his beliefs, he volunteers. What results is a split personality (“We manifested a diver gate identity dormant in a small portion of the medial temporal lobe, creating a split personality,” says Mavis Heller, the head of Janus). Henry Spivey is the result, a part of Edward, but a man who leads a separate life (married to Angie; the father of Ruthy and Jack; and strategic consultant for Janus). Henry, “born” at the facility on March 16, 1969, has no knowledge of Edward although they share the same body (when Henry is asleep Edward functions; when Henry awakens, he is Henry. His disappearances to become Edward when needed are explained as business trips). All is progressing well until a system malfunction makes Henry aware that something is not right and he soon realizes that he is two different people, but the same person. Although the two can never physically meet, they communicate with each other (through recorded messages each makes and views over a computer). Stories follow Henry and Edward as they thrust into unfamiliar territory where each man is dangerously out of his element. Tom Grady is Henry’s friend and coworker (at Janus) but also an agent named Raymond (for Mavis); Tony is the systems operator responsible for maintaining the balance between Henry and Edward; Norah is Henry’s psychiatrist (“who is in tune with the inner workings of both Edward and Henry”).

Reviews: “Slater delivers the goods with helpings of magnetism along with his trademark quirky intensity, portraying two men trapped in a single man’s body with a measure of credibility” (The Hollywood Reporter). “My Own Worst Enemy holds our interest despite its utter preposterousness because if there is anything Slater knows how to do, it’s present a believable head case” (Variety).

Cast : Jamie Chung (Heaven Kogo), Brendan Fehr ( Jake Stanton), Saige Thompson (Cheryl), Anthony Wong (Tasuke Kogo), Steven Brand (Severin), Stacy Keible (Karen). Credits: Executive Producer: Bob Levy. Music: Stephen Endelman, Michael Wandmacher. Reviews: “Loaded with adventure... Samurai Girl doesn’t stop for a minute in an all out effort to entertain the senses. The intellect is another story altogether” (The Hollywood Reporter). “It’s the sort of production rife with plenty of action but nothing that’s remotely stirring, putting far too much pressure on petite Jamie Chung to carry the drama” (Variety).

Reviews: “If ... things that go bump in the night are ... up your dark alley then Sanctuary is perfect for you. Otherwise, there’s little to recommend” (Variety). “Scary moments and humans who convince us they’re worth caring about ... make for a sci-fi drama that doesn’t yet suck” (The Hollywood Reporter).

Sarah / 466
The Sarah Jane Adventures. (Series; Science Fiction; Sci Fi; April 11, 2008 to May 30, 2008) A spin-off from Doctor Who wherein Earth girl Sarah Jane Smith was depicted as one of the companions of the time traveling Doctor Who, a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey. In 1985, Sarah Jane left the Doctor to resume her life as a journalist in England. The Doctor gave her his mechanical dog, K-9, and a pilot was produced called K-9 and Company that was to depict Sarah Jane’s adventures as she and K-9 battled evil. The pilot aired in the U.S. (Produced in England) but a series never materialized. In 2006, the BBC reprised the Sarah Jane Smith character (casting Elisabeth Sladen, the original Sarah Jane, as the new Sarah Jane). Sarah Jane is still a journalist. She is single and lives at 30 Banneman Road in England. K-9 is still her dog, but he is on assignment—protecting the Earth from an approaching black hole. Sarah Jane also has an alien computer named Mr. Smith and wrist bracelets that can detect alien presences. Sarah Jane prefers to be alone as it is the only way of keeping what she does secret. Her life changes when a new neighbor, Maria Jackson, accidentally discovers her secret. It is 2:37 in the morning when a glowing light awakens Maria. She sees Sarah Jane with a fairy-like alien (who is lost. Sarah Jane is helping her find her way back home). Sarah Jane spots Maria and is a bit upset but later finds Maria and her friend, Kelsey (whom Maria told about the incident) a big asset when they help her stop an alien invasion by an enemy called the Bane (who planned to control humans through a soft drink called Bubble Shock. The drink contained Bane DNA that when absorbed would make humans slaves to the Bane). In addition to Maria and Kelsey, Sarah Jane also acquires another helper — a genetically engineered boy called an archetype (created by the Bane 466
467 / Saturday in an attempt to replicate humans). To protect the boy (who learns by observing) Sarah Jane secretly “adopts” him and names him Luke. Stories follow Sarah Jane as she and her assistants battle aliens (according to Sarah Jane, some aliens are friendly and only seeking help in reaching a destination). Produced in England. Cast : Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane Smith), Yasmin Paige (Maria Jackson), Tommy Knight (Luke Smith), Porsha Lawrence-Mavour (Kelsey), Joseph Millson (Alan Jackson, Maria’s divorced father), Alexander Armstrong (Voice of Mr. Smith, Sarah’s computer). Credits: Executive Producer: Phil Collinson, Russell T. Davies, Julie Gardner. Producer: Matt Bouch, Susie Liggat. Music: Sam Watts. Reviews: “Broadly aimed at kids, with cheesy monsters and two youthful protagonists joining in the world-saving exploits, the series may be modestly entertaining for the moppet crowd but will test the patience of adults in this dimension or any other” (Variety).

Reviews: “It’s eye opening stuff, at least some of it, and yet not as titillating as you might suppose. Considering the subject matter, there’s surprisingly little nudity and practically nothing graphic” (The Hollywood Reporter). “Skein is shot nudity free in a way that puts titillation on the back burner ... there’s no glamour here other than the way Hannah goes about her day, living two lives that are split neatly and maintained impeccably” (Variety).

Credits: Executive Producer: Brenda Hampton. Producer: Lindsley Parsons III. Music: Dan Foliart. Reviews: “...teen pregnancy, especially on a youth oriented network — is too important a subject matter for such shallow, ham-fisted treatment...

You didn’t? Then I suggest you ... see a cardiologist because you must have a heart of stone” (New York Post).

Reviews: “For the most part, the secret talents of the stars continue to remain so” (The Hollywood Reporter). “Any series that claims to feature 16 of America’s most talented stars and counts Danny Bonaduce and Marla Maples among them at least deserves some credit for generosity of spirit, bordering on false advertising” (Variety).

484 Shaken Not Stirred: A Comedy Roast. (Series; Comedy; My Network TV; October 29, 2008 to November 19, 2008) A somewhat misleading title as the program is not a celebrity roast in the typical sense (wherein friends of a celebrity guest comically insult him).

Supervising Producer: Tracy Whittaker. Talent Producer: Susan Gold. Reviews: “William Shatner takes his career where it has never gone before. And it works” (The Hollywood Reporter). “Shatner’s Raw Nerve ... proves neither raw nor nervy enough to be consistently interesting — essentially plopping the host on one comfy chair, his guest in another and letting them chat until 30 minutes elapse” (Variety).

Producer: Brandon Panoligan. Reviews: “Host Kim Alexis proclaims ‘She’s Got the Look is a modeling competition like no other,’ which is flat out balderdash. It’s rather a competition like every other, the only distinction being this aspires to models 35 and over” (Variety). “The good thing about this show is that if it lasts, then the losers of the CW’s America’s Next Top Model will have a place to go for a second chance” (Entertain Your Brain).

[it] has the making of a series that will earn a small but loyal following only to leave them disappointed” (Variety). “Swingtown has a chance to shine during a time when few provocative programs are introduced” (FilmStew.com).

Review: “A strong performance by Jessica Lange goes largely to waste in this remake of the 1976 Joanne Woodward–Sally Field movie Sybil.

On April 19, 2011, the Skynet Missile Defense Program will be launched and murderous machines will declare war on mankind.

Cameron Phillips is a futuristic re-programmed (for good) Terminator robot that has been sent back in time to protect John. Cromartic, a deadly terminator robot, also has a mission: kill John. Sarah’s race against time to destroy Skynet and stop the war before it begins is the focal point of the series (in 1984 Sarah was saved from a futuristic Terminator robot by the time traveling resistance fighter Kyle Reese.

Credits: Executive Producer: John Friedman, John Writh, Mario Kassar, Andrew Vajna, Joel Michaels, David Nutter. Producer: Charles Goldstein. Music: Bear McCreary. Reviews: “Credibly expanding the Terminator franchise into TV, this series faces a considerable challenge — beginning with the usual contortions of time travel logic—
135 to maintain its initial pace without developing into silliness” (Variety). “The series, like the movie, is an actionpacked explosion-filled Sci Fi variation of The Fugitive, though circumstances are sketchier. While it helps to have seen the movie, you can catch up with the premise in a few minutes” (The Hollywood Reporter).

Credits: Executive Producer: Derek Harvie, Kenny Hotz. Supervising Producer: Suzanne Berger. Producer: John Morayniss, Michael Rosenberg. Reviews: “Testees lives several rungs down the evolutionary ladder from FX’s once promising and now increasingly disappointing It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia... It’s about as narrow as comedy gets” (Variety). “...a combo platter for the college crowd which is probably a good programming decision — but here’s hoping the ambition of Testees makes its premise in future episodes” (The San Francisco Chronicle).

552 The Tournament of Roses Parade. (Special; Variety; NBC; January 1, 2008) The 119th presentation of elaborate floats that was first staged in 1890 by members of Pasadena’s Valley Hunt Club. It was at this time that people turned out to watch a parade of flower-covered carriages and compete in polo matches, foot races and tugs of war. Over the years the parade expanded to include marching bands and motorized floats. In 1895 the Tournament of Roses Association was formed to handle the festivities when it became too large for the Valley Hunt Club to manage. The tradition, as it is known today (honoring football) began in 1902 when the association added the sport to enhance the day’s festivities. In 1922 a stadium was built in Pasadena, California, that was dubbed the Rose Bowl by the press. On January 1, 1923, the Tournament held its first football game in the stadium. The event was first heard on radio in 1927on NBC and the Rose Bowl was first telecast locally in Los Angeles (station KTLA) in 1948; NBC telecast it nationally for the first time in 1952.

556 True Blood. (Series; Drama; HBO; September 7, 2008 to November 23, 2008) Sookie Stackhouse is a barmaid at Merlotte’s Bar in the small town of Bon Temps, Louisiana. She is very pretty but somewhat of an outcast due to what she considers her “curse”— her ability to hear the intimate feelings of people. She and her brother, Jason, a construction worker (and a ladies’ man) were orphaned as children and raised by their grandmother. Bill Compton is a 173-year-old vampire (he, as well as others of his kind, survive on the Japanese invention of synthetic blood). He has just returned to Bon Temps, his family home to reconnect with his past. Bill, a loner, and Sookie meet and begin a relationship. Stories follow their relationship and Sookie’s efforts to unravel the mystery surrounding Bill’s past. Lafayette is the bar cook; Sam is the bar owner.

Credits: Executive Producer: Alan Ball. Producer: Carol Dunn Trussell. Co-Producer: Bill Johnson. Music: Nathan Barr. Reviews: “A difficult drama with a heroine who is more vampire player than
557 / True slayer ... with its constant profanity, gore and banal cruelty, it will have limited appeal” (The Hollywood Reporter). “So while the show is a trifle hokey, its soapy elements, gothic atmosphere and cliffhanger endings — coupled with Anna Paquin’s knockout performance — do reel viewers in” (Variety).
557 True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet.

Producer: Mark Winemaker. Director: Tim Matheson. Writer: Elisa Bell, Lola Douglas. Review: “Confessions, which is aimed at 15-year-old divas ... cheerfully borrows Lindsay Lohan’s life and the plots of three of her movies to stitch together a perfectly watchable, good-natured formula flick that’s better than just about all of Lohan’s movies” (New York Post).
558 True Jackson, V.P. (Series; Comedy; Nickelodeon; Premiered: November 8, 2008) True Jackson is a pretty 15-year-old high school girl who makes extra spending money by selling sandwiches outside the offices of Mad Style, a top fashion label.

138 on-the-spot job as vice president in charge of the firm’s youth apparel line. True accepts and stories follow True as she attempts to learn the ins and outs of the corporate world while at the same time being a regular kid and coping with the problems of school — from cliques to crushes to mean classmates. Amanda is True’s nemesis, an ambitious fashion executive who feels working with True infuriating; Lulu is True’s friend and assistant at Mad Style; Ryan is True’s best guy friend; Oscar is the office receptionist.

Credits: Executive Producer: Andy Gordon. Producer: Brenda Hanes-Berg, Veronica Moti McElvoy, Judy Oseransky. Music: Eban Schletter. Review: “Just as the Disney Channel has made hay with girls and tweens, this broadly pitched, undemanding but sprightly series should ... reward Nickelodeon with a loyal audience to twin with its I Carly franchise” (Variety).

563 12 Miles of Bad Road.

Amelia is the head of the family; C.Z. is her sister; Jerry is Amelia’s son; Juliet is Jerry’s wife; Gaylor is Jerry’s sister. HBO cancelled the very expensive series ($3.6 million per episode) before it ever aired (as of 12-31-08) most likely due to the stereotyped characters (insulting to Texans) and the fact that it did not fit in with HBO’s Sunday night block of original programming. Cast : Lily Tomlin (Amelia Shakespeare), Mary Kay Place (C.Z. Shakespeare), Gary Cole ( Jerry Shakespeare), Katherine LaNasa ( Juliet Shakespeare), Eliza Coupe (Gaylor Shakespeare), Leslie Jordan (Kenny Kingman), David Andrews (Saxby Hall), Kim Dickens ( Jonelle Shakespeare), Cameron Richardson (Mckenna Shakespeare-Hall), Cherilyn Wilson (Caitlin Shakespeare), Michael McShae (Cameron Shakespeare).

24: Redemption. (TV Movie; Adventure; Fox; November 23, 2008) A writer’s strike in late 2007 caused production on the series 24 to come to a halt. Eight episodes were filmed, but the three month strike made it impossible for producers to deliver its twenty-four episode commitment in time for a January to May schedule. The series was postponed and did not air in 2008. To bridge
564
565 / Twister the 18 month gap between the end of season six (May 21, 2007) and the beginning of the seventh season ( January 11, 2009), a two-hour real time prequel was produced to fill that gap and update the life of Jack Bauer, the anti-terrorist whose case assignments unfold in 24 hours (each episode is one of those 24 hours). When last seen, Jack was in Africa, standing on a hill and contemplating what he had just done: ruined his personal life to save the world (basically the premise of each season of the series). The movie opens three years later with Jack seeking solace as a missionary in Africa. This is short lived when he finds himself in a bloody coupe in the fictional nation of Sangala, where a ruthless dictator is using children as soldiers. Keeping in line with the series premise, the film represents two hours of real time (3 P.M. to 5 P.M.) as Jack defeats the dictator, saves the children and makes his way back to Washington, D.C. just as the inauguration of the first female president (Allison Taylor) is taking place (replacing President Noah Daniels). The movie is self-contained and sets up the revised series story line (the CTU [Counter Terrorism Unit] is gone and Jack and his team now work for “an off-the-books” wing of the FBI. The series setting also changes from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C.). Cast: Kiefer Sutherland ( Jack Bauer), James Cromwell (Philip Bauer), Kim Ravier (Audrey), Powers Boothe (Noah Daniels), Cherry Jones (Allison Taylor), Robert Carlyle (Carl Benton), Gregory Itzin (President Logan), Jon Voight ( Jonas Hodges), Ha Kiem-Kazim (Colonel Dubaku), Peter MacNichol (Tom Lennox), Colm Feoire (Henry Taylor), Carly Pope (Samantha Roth), Sprague Grayden (Olivia Taylor).

140 phen Kronish, Brad Tucker, Alex Gansa, Brannon Braya, Juan Coto. Producer: Michael Klick, Paul Gadd. Music: Sean Callery. Director: Jon Cassar. Writer: Howard Gordon. Reviews: “If the new season lives up to the excitement of this trailer, then you better fasten your seat belts for a bumpy ride” (New York Post). “Cast like a feature, the project delivers two real time hours, though its no assurance that Baur’s seventh very long day [seventh season] ... will avoid the program’s recent pattern of starting like gangbusters and limping toward the dawn” (Variety). “Bottom line: A two-hour preview that will make you pant for the start of a new season of 24 ” (The Hollywood Reporter).
565 The Twister Sisters. (Series; Reality; WE; Premiered: January 2, 2008) Melanie Metz and Peggy Willenberg are not sisters in the actual sense.

141 Credits: Executive Producer: Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, Greg Goldman, Scott Carlson, Jonathan Singer. Supervising Producer: Mark S. Jacobs, Kirk Shaw. Music: Jeff Toyne. Reviews: “This latest look at has been Hollywood fails to strike a single convincing note in reuniting onetime teen heartthrobs Corey Haim and Corey Feldman” (Variety). “As with any reality show, the critical question here is whether we care enough about the characters or the drama in their lives. At this point, frankly, the two Lost Boys may be losing us” (New York Daily News).
567 The Two Mrs. Kissels. (TV Movie; Drama; Lifetime; November 15, 2008) Fact-based tale about brothers Andrew and Robert Kissel, a real estate mogul (Andrew) and a Wall Street banker, and how they lived the high life but met untimely deaths.

The good news is: This one ... represents a new high standard that will be difficult for other movies of its kind to beat” (New York Post). 568 2008: Today Looks Back, a Holiday Special.

Grace and her family are also facing a difficult task. True love is disappearing and being replaced by one night stands and impersonal computer dating. If Grace cannot
143 bring soul mates together, she and her family will lose their powers and become mortal. Grace is assisted by her sons, Danny (a.k.a. Eros and Cupid, the God of Erotic Love), and Leo (a.k.a. Hercules), and her daughter Phoebe, who has the power of a fortune teller (by placing her hand over the Oracle of Delphi [represented by a hot tub], she can see the past, present and futures of the people they are matching). She is a Titan, a being that is reborn after each death but has no recollection of her prior lives. Grace feels this is not enough. She recruits Kate Providence, a mortal romance novelist she feels understands the human heart and can greatly assist them with her perspective of the human condition.

A man from the planet Gallifrey and known only as the Doctor, uses his time machine, the TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space) to save not only the Earth, but other planets threatened by evil. The Doctor has a great thirst for knowledge and uses the TARDIS, which has a slight defect (it is stuck in the guise of a 1960s British telephone booth; it is supposed to disguise itself wherever it goes) to learn all he can by visiting various periods in history. The new version, produced in 2005, begins when the Doctor comes to Earth to protect it from an evil living plastic organism that seeks to destroy it. Rose Tyler, a department store salesgirl he rescues from plastic mannequins brought to life by the alien, helps him defeat the creature. Although the Doctor is an alien, he longs for human companionship and invites Rose to become his traveling companion. Rose has a hapless boyfriend, an over-bearing mother and a not-too-bright outlook for the future. She chooses to travel with the Doctor and live a life of harrowing adventures protecting the universe from evil. The third season premiere ( July 6, 2007), “The Runaway Bride,” finds Rose leaving the Doctor to return to her life as it was before she met him. “Smith and Jones,” the following episode, finds the Doctor (who has checked into a London hospital under the name John Smith), seeking a creature called a Plasmasvore (feeds on blood) that
762
Dog / 764 has taken human form. A doctor, Martha Jones, becomes suspicious of John Smith and immediately becomes involved in his quest. The Doctor’s plan to find the creature fails and he becomes its victim. Martha saves the Doctor’s life and allows him to complete his mission. The Doctor reveals his true nature to Martha and in return offers her a trip on the TARDIS. Martha becomes intrigued and eventually becomes the Doctor’s new traveling companion. A third incarnation, thus far only broadcast in the U.S. on BBC America (as of December 31, 2008) finds the Doctor traveling with a new companion, Donna Noble (who appeared in the episode “The Runaway Bride” but mysteriously disappeared during it; to her astonishment, she reappears two years later to replace Martha as the Doctor’s traveling companion when Martha returns to her former position). The new version also features the Doctor reuniting with Rose and Martha and Sarah Jane Smith [Elisabeth Sladen], his traveling companion in the 1980s, to battle evil.

(Science Fiction; ABC Family; Premiered: June 26, 2006) A 16-year-old boy mysteriously appears in the middle of a forest. He appears to have just been born and has no idea of who he is or where he is. The boy begins
216 to wander and is soon arrested for indecent exposure (he is naked) when he appears in the nearby town. He is sent to a juvenile holding center in Seattle, Washington. Here psychologist Nicole Trager takes an interest in him (he has no navel, appears to be very intelligent but he is like an infant and needs to learn). Nicole names him Kyle and, to help him, takes him home (where he now lives with Nicole’s husband, Stephen and her children Lori and Josh). Kyle learns by watching and listening (how he learns to speak English). Stories follow Nicole’s efforts to solve the puzzle of who Kyle is and where he came from. Other regulars are Amanda, the girl next door on whom Kyle has a crush; Heather, Lori’s friend; Declan, Lori’s boyfriend; and Tom Foss, the mysterious man who appears to know what Kyle is all about. Second season episodes explain that Kyle was an experiment (XY) based on Einstein’s theory that the longer an embryo stays in the womb the smarter it will be. A man named Adam was the only survivor of the first such experiment (at this time, the surrogate mothers, who carried the child for 13 months, died in childbirth; the infants died shortly after). Adam knew his past and wanted to create a world of geniuses. He experimented and created a birth chamber with a pink fluid that could sustain life until the embryo reached an adult stage. Kyle was such an experiment — the first since Adam to survive. But Kyle is not alone. A second experiment, conducted by the visionaries of a organization called Madacorp, produced a female — XX. This experiment escapes (like Kyle did) when an explosion destroys the lab. A bounty hunter (Emily Hollander) is hired by Madacorp to find her. The girl is nude, covered in pink “goo” (from the birth tank) and like Kyle, has no navel. She is captured by Emily and brought to Madacorp. Here she is programmed to be Jessica Hollander, Emily’s sister. Madacorp’s plan is to use Jesse (as Jessica is
217 called) to befriend Kyle and monitor him for Madacorp’s ultimate goal — reclaim both XY and XX. But unknown to Madacorp, Kyle has a protector, Brian Taylor, the late Adam’s faithful servant, who now watches over Kyle and helps him to understand his developing abilities (Adam was shot by persons and for reasons unknown).

In 1998, Trudy is killed in a car bombing. Was she working on a story? Did she get too close to something? These are the questions that drive Adrian to continually review the facts of the case
228 in the hope that he will one day find her killer. Trudy’s death also affected Adrian in another way. It triggered a rare anxiety disorder that makes him germ phobic and afraid of virtually everything. The condition immediately interferes with Adrian’s work and he is given a 315 temporary suspension (a psychological discharge). Adrian regularly sees a psychiatrist (Dr. Kroger) and is aided by his full time nurse, Sharona Fleming (the divorced mother a young son named Benjy).

The book is a rather unflattering look at his friends and his hometown of Knights Ridge, Massachusetts, a small, picturesque New England community.

He receives a cold reception from his old friends, who are bitter for his portrayal of them in the book.

He knows there are a lot of unexpected adventures in town — and he is not about to leave again (he also believes that Sam is his son [although Hannah denies it] because he and Sam are allergic to any kind of nut).

1024 Psych. (Crime Drama; USA; Premiered: July 7, 2006) Shawn Spencer is a man with phenomenal powers of observation. As early as he can remember, Shawn was taught how to think, act and observe like a detective. Rather than put his talents to use in a productive way, like becoming a police officer like his father (Henry), Shawn becomes somewhat of a slacker, taking random jobs to get by. Though he is not a cop, Shawn is fascinated by crime scenes and studies such scenes he reads about in the newspa-
244 per or sees on TV. When he realizes he has found something that was overlooked, he calls the police with a tip because nothing escapes his razor sharp mind. One tip, however, backfires and Shawn is arrested as the prime suspect. Although he has no actual clairvoyant abilities and cannot read the future, he convinces the police that he is a psychic. Impressed by his “abilities,” the police department hires Shawn as a consultant to help them solve difficult cases (he also opens an agency called Psych to help people). Assisting Shawn is Burton “Gus” Guster, his friend, a pharmaceutical salesman (for Central Coast Pharmaceuticals) who helps Shawn keep out of trouble.

He enjoyed running in the fields
245 with his dog, Digby, and at the age of nine had a crush on eight-year-old Charlotte Charles, whom he called “Chuck.” One day, Digby was hit by a truck and Ned’s life would change forever. He touched the dog and, to his surprise, brought him back to life. But his special gift — which Ned cannot explain, has a serious side effect. A second touch will return the deceased back to being dead. And, if Ned keeps a deceased alive for longer than sixty seconds, someone else must take his or her place. As Ned grows, he becomes fearful of his “gift” and somewhat of a loner. He becomes a baker and establishes his own business — The Pie Hole. One night, a criminal being chased by private detective Emerson Cod, attempts to jump across a rooftop but falls to his death. Cod witnesses Ned’s ability when Ned touches the criminal, brings him to life, then touches him again. Cod finds Ned very useful and the two form a business partnership — Ned can touch a victim, bring him back to life, ask who killed him, touch him again then solve the case. A short time later, while watching TV, Ned sees a report about a woman being killed on a cruise ship. When her name is revealed as Charlotte Charles, Ned makes it his business to restore her life to find out who killed her. But Ned lets Chuck live—a situation that finds Ned, who still loves Chuck, never able to touch her and she never able to touch him (it is revealed that Chuck was mistaken for a diamond smuggler and killed). Ned, Chuck and Cod become a team to solve murders by asking the victims to identify their killers. Lily and Vivian are Chuck’s aunts; Olive is Ned’s waitress.

Suddenly, an angel appears —“I’m Earl, what do you need?” (Earl’s assignment is to help mortals who need one last chance to redeem themselves. Grace, being who she is, is headed for Hell but God has given her one last chance to redeem herself and assigned Earl that task).

They are rescued by a three-year-old baby who emerges from a crashed rocket that had been part of the meteor shower. The unharmed baby is actually Kal-El, the lone survivor of the doomed planet Krypton. Moments before Krypton exploded, KalEl’s parents ( Jor-El and Lara) placed him in an experimental rocket programmed to land on Earth. Also part of the meteor shower were fragments of Kryptonite, green remnants of the planet that can now

(in 2008 when Lex is believed to have disappeared in an arctic wasteland); Davis Bloom, a paramedic is battling a growing darkness in him (that causes him to become the evil Doomsday); Perry White is the editor of The Daily Planet.

Her ship was caught in the meteor shower and plunged into the sea. Kara was placed in a sate of suspended animation and awoke when the Smallville
Smash / 1080 dam broke and activated her ship’s life support system. She managed to find Clark and is now stranded on Earth and must learn to live life as a human).
