USA Network — Thursdays @ 10:00pm

I can’t believe the best program of the summer is on USA network. But, this show is everything I love about summer television. It’s light, fluffy, fun and chock full of charming characters!

Check it out!

Or, catch the first 3 episodes on Hulu !

Wallander

Wallander — PBS — May 10, 17, 31, 2009 — 9:00pm

This 3 part series based on the novels by Swedish author Henning Mankell begin this Sunday. Henning Mankell couldn’t have asked for more than Kenneth Branagh’s brilliant portrayal of his character Kurt Wallander. Heavy with emotion, this unique glimpse into the life of rural Sweden gives us an unprecedented view of a world across the ocean that is both like our own… and, yet, different.

Stunning landscapes and cinematography are the icing on the cake for this award winning British 3 part film.

For a sneak peek: Masterpiece Mystery!

Dollhouse
Series Premiere: Friday – February 13, 2009 at 9:00PM

I LOVE Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the series, of course, not the horrid movie). I always have… and always will. It’s a classic series that deserves to be watched… and rewatched. So, I’m thrilled to see Dushku and Whedon reunited in this new venture.

Eliza Dushku plays Echo. A member of an underground, illegal organization that erases and implants memories at will. To join the team she had her memories erased. New memories will be falsely implanted as the need arises for each given assignment. These new memories will help her accomplish tasks and missions benefiting the secret organization’s best interest. Money and power… wild guess.

Echo as a blank slate opens up the notion of ethics and morals when you have no moral compass, no history and no future… Well, not one that you’re likely to remember.

Can Dollhouse survive the mixed reviews? …And, Friday night time slot. I’d hate to see this show die before it even gets off the ground. I’ll be watching and hoping for a hit… will you?

Dollhouse
Creator: Joss Whedon
Staring: Eliza Dushku, Amy Acker, Tahmoh Penikett, Olivia Williams, Fran Kranz, Harry Lennix, Enver Gjokaj, Dichen Lachman and Reed Diamond
