绝望主妇第五季

　　CBS警匪题材的新剧《Flashpoint》故事的主角是一只隶属加拿大首都多伦多警察的特种部队，这只部队的名字叫做战略反应小队(Strategic Response Unit)，简称SRU。SRU的角色原型来自于多伦多的一只真的紧急任务反应小队(Emergency Task Force)。
　　SRU的成员都不是一般的警察，他们有能力做一些普通警察所不能做的事情，包括：“拯救人质，打击黑帮，拆除炸弹，操作尖端武器，”他们将永远冒着生命危险去拯救别人的生命。他们往往会采用任何手段在非常短的时间内解决问题拯救生命。
　　想成为一名SRU成员，你首先要有多年的在街头打击罪犯的经验，还要经受强烈的体能训练，以及射击枪法的训练。除此之外SRU成员还要有操作尖端武器的能力，包括：“狙击枪，蛇形摄像设备，机器人，闪光弹，夜视仪和泰瑟枪”。但是最重要的武器，还是每个人的知觉和经验，能够应付各种危机所需要的技巧。
　　《Flashpoint》最早是由加拿大电视台CTV先行制作，后由CBS看重加入联合制作。该剧的编剧也全部由加拿大编剧协会Writers Guild of Canada(WGC)成员完成，所以也并没有收到美国WGA编剧罢工的影响。《Flashpoint》也是第一部完全由加拿大本地制作并拍摄并在美国主要电视网播出的电视剧集。
　　该剧的主演是《美眉校探 Veronica Mars》里的侦探老爸Enrico Colantoni，饰演小队的头头Sergeant Greg Parker。其他演员还包括Hugh Dillon饰演Ed Lane，David Paetkau饰演Sam Braddock，Amy Jo Johnson(《Felicity》)饰演Jules Callahan。
　　《闪点行动》第一季已于08年夏季挡播出，虽然由于档期问题，S1只播出了原计划13集中的9集，但已收获一定的收视群体，成为一部极具潜力的新剧集。09年冬季，带着S1剩余4集加第一批预定13集和CBS的追加预定，《闪点行动》第二季将以22集强势回归。

　　Tom Barnaby joins the Causton Chamber of Commerce trip to Brighton as he is suspicious of dodgy mayor Hicks' plan to buy coastal land on which to buy chalets. Also opposed to the plan is Lady Matilda William,who has had threatening letters, as have the local vicar, oily property developer Hugh Dalgleish and hotelier Jenny Russell. Lady Matilda is descended from Richard of Guillaume,a ruthless contemporary of William the Conqueror,and believes that her son Richard,last of the line and brain-damaged for twenty years,was the victim of ancestral jealousy.In Brighton Dalgleish is murdered with the sword stolen from Guillaume's tomb and Hicks is arrested for fraud. Having learnt how Richard came by his accident Barnaby is convinced that Richard and not the property scam is the cause of yet another victim being claimed by the sword of Guillaume.

　　A comedy trivia quiz based around pop music, originally hosted by Mark Lamarr up to October 2006, currently hosted by Simon Amstell. Te am captains Phil Jupitus and Bill Bailey (who replaced Sean Hughes in May 2002) are joined each week by different music stars. Popular rounds include one where team members have to identify song intros hummed to them and another where a bygone music star has to be picked out of a line-up of lookalikes.

　　大家一定还记得2002年斯导给大家带来的《兄弟连》（Band of brothers），国内的美剧迷也因此而迅速扩充。时隔三年，斯导带领麾下的梦工场与TNT电视网合作，再度推出西部史诗巨作《Into the west》（《西部风云》）
　　不同于以往传统的西部片只从白人殖民者的视角来刻画西部的开拓史，从《辛德勒名单》开始一直追求客观公正再现历史的斯导在这部《Into the west》中，从白人移民和北美本土印第安人两个不同家庭的视角来书写这段宏伟的史诗。两种截然不同的文化冲突和交流、融合，移民者建设新家园的艰辛，淘金者的暴富欲望都是此剧要表现的主题。一个是从弗吉尼亚州驾着牛车迁徙而来的车匠一家，一个是来自lakota部落的印第安人家庭，他们将一起见证美国西部史上风情诗画与血雨腥风。当然，爱情、亲情、友情绝对是任何佳作中永远也不会缺少的主题
　　和《兄弟连》一样，《Into the west》也是一部短剧（Mini Series），只有6集，共12小时

Season 5 finds Murder, She Wrote's intrepid Jessica Fletcher in fine sleuthing form, and venturing farther afield from Cabot Cove--a good thing, since at the rate the murders have been happening, that town would be nearly cleaned out. Some of the best episodes take place in more exotic locales like New York (dead man on the street, wearing just one shoe), Montana (a publishing convention gone horribly wrong) and West Virginia (two whistle-blowers at a coal company found gruesomely murdered). Angela Lansbury sparkles with determination and bonhomie, hitting her stride and then some. Jessica's own life backstory is even filled out tantalizingly, especially in the episode "The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel," in which an investigation is launched into a mysterious cargo plane that is linked, she learns to her horror, to her late husband. The series' other delight is watching for cameos by stars of a certain age, and this season doesn't disappoint, with appearances by Roddy McDowall, Shelley Fabares, and Dinah Shore--but also some up-and-comers like Megan Mullally (proof positive that the Will & Grace whine was a put-on) and future satirist Bill Maher.

　　背景设置在近未来，主角是高级督察John Major及Roy Carver（Daniel Mays及Stephen Graham饰 ）；John及Roy是队中的灭罪精英拍档，但当一次卧底任务出错并造成John殉职后，警队因认为他是不可或缺的重要「资产」，于是决定把John的意识转移到一个实验性人工智能项目，使主角复活过来。
　　问题是，John Major 2.0虽然看似原版货，但其实在意识转移过程中漏失了不少东西，现在他的傲慢举动及过份热心的态度仍在，但破案直觉却通通丢掉了。

　　弗兰奇（达科塔•布鲁•理查兹 Dakota Blue Richards 饰）自小被一对gay收养，因为特殊的家庭让她有着与周围格格不入的着装风格和不太合群的性格。在之前的学校备受排斥，遭受到同学的欺辱，弗兰奇转校来到一个全新的环境。开学第一天就跟学校的风云人物米妮（弗雷娅•梅弗 Freya Mavor 饰）误打误撞的相识。米妮带着她的跟班丽芙和格蕾丝主动示好弗兰奇，让她以为已经融入了这个新环境，却不想过后再三遭遇恼火的事情。陷入困顿的弗兰奇遇到了神秘男子马缇（塞巴斯蒂安•德•索萨 Sebastian De Souza 饰）的劝解，暗生情愫，意外得知他是米妮男友尼克（肖恩•蒂尔 Sean Teale 饰）的弟弟。而酷爱重金属摇滚的叛逆少年瑞驰（阿历克斯•阿诺 Alex Arnold 饰）也在格蕾丝芭蕾舞般的温柔中陷入恋爱。

特技演员邦尼 (Bunny) 招募了陷入困境的女演员霍尼 (Honey) 来做兼职多年后，他们危险的过去再次浮出水面，迫使这对疏远的夫妇重新团聚并保护他们的女儿。

　　发展受阻第四季讲述的是在剧中扮演托巴亚斯·芬克（Tobias Funke）的大卫·克罗斯说整个剧组都能感受到更多的创作自由，因为他们现在不需要考虑电视台的需求了。
