TV Review: TNT’s ‘Leverage’ Returns For Promising Summer Season
Submitted by BrianTT on June 18, 2010 - 4:02pmCHICAGO – The team behind “Leverage,” including producer/director Dean Devlin and star Timothy Hutton are back with a headline-grabbing summer diversion. With articles calling for the head of BP and reports on the continued economic crisis, this “Robin Hood” for the modern age or “Ocean’s 11” if Danny Ocean were a bit more philanthropic is as timely as the day it premiered. And it’s more consistently entertaining.
TV News: TNT Renews Drama ‘Southland’ For Third Season
Submitted by BrianTT on April 26, 2010 - 4:51pmCHICAGO – The great “Southland” has been officially renewed for a third season, the first produced by TNT, that will air in January of 2011.

TV Review: Great ‘Southland’ Premieres New Episodes on TNT
Submitted by BrianTT on March 2, 2010 - 4:16pmCHICAGO – The most notable casualties of the disastrous “The Jay Leno Show” may have been Conan O’Brien and the reputation of “The Tonight Show” but the fate of scripted drama on NBC also took a hit, exemplified by the fact that the network let arguably their best show go without much fanfare.
DVD Review: First Season of Spectacular Cop Show ‘Southland’
Submitted by BrianTT on January 22, 2010 - 4:48pmCHICAGO – One episode of the excellent “Southland” should tell you all you need to know about what NBC thinks about quality dramatic writing. They don’t care. They looked at this show, one of the most expertly-written on television, and canceled it, even after starting production on the second season. They’d rather give you “The Jay Leno Show”. Show them the error of their ways and make “Southland” a hit on DVD and with upcoming new episodes on TNT.

TV Review: ‘Men of a Certain Age’ Promising But Off to Dull Start
Submitted by BrianTT on December 7, 2009 - 1:20pmCHICAGO – The mid-life crisis of the modern man is mostly about ego - as the body goes downhill and the role of the alpha male is supplanted by a new version of himself, men kind of fall apart as they realize that their peak has arguably passed. Why would such an individual experience make for intriguing drama? Using the mid-life crisis as a jumping off point for drama would require some seriously well-drawn characters, the kind of guys who you root to come to terms with passing over that hill. “Men of a Certain Age” does not yet have those characters.
DVD, TV Review: TNT’s ‘Leverage’ Delivers Entertainment Despite Flaws
Submitted by BrianTT on July 15, 2009 - 2:31pmCHICAGO – In a world where corporate bailouts and scumbags like Bernie Madoff dominate the news, it would seem like TNT’s “Leverage” would be a natural choice for a summer diversion.
TV Review: New TNT Cop Drama ‘Dark Blue’ Has Potential For Explosion
Submitted by Ebeth on July 15, 2009 - 1:56amCHICAGO – TNT on Tuesday launched executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s no-holes-barred cop drama, “Dark Blue”. Like Bruckheimer’s successful predecessors in its genre (“C.S.I: Miami”, “C.S.I. New York”, “Cold Case”, and “Without a Trace”), “Dark Blue” provides captivating crime scenarios, an easy-on-the-eyes cast (including Dylan McDermott of “The Practice”), and just enough suspense to keep engaged.
TV Review: TNT’s Overly Earnest ‘HawthoRNe’ Won’t Cure Summer TV Blues
Submitted by BrianTT on June 16, 2009 - 7:00amCHICAGO – TNT’s medical drama “HawthoRNe” would have felt overly generic in any month of the year, but debuting in the same one as Showtime’s far darker, subtler and more entertaining “Nurse Jackie” does the show no favors at all. Jada Pinkett Smith executive-produces and stars in a well-intentioned program with a good pedigree (John Masius of “St. Elsewhere” is one of the producers) but one that feels like a relic of a bygone era of more manipulative television.
