喜新不厌旧第六季

　　广泛好评的1999年开始播出的NBC连续剧《白宫群英》(The West Wing)，它最新的一季将于9月24日在NBC播出。这部电视剧曾打败《老友记》、《欲望城市》等劲敌，连续两季成为艾美奖大赢家，并连续三季获得最佳连续剧奖。
　　一向被视为票房毒药的政治题材，在《白宫群英》里重获生机。这与当今美国公众价值取向的转变密不可分。尤其是9·11之后，美国人的爱国激情勃发，对总统的支持率达到前所未有的高度。《白宫群英》9·11特辑的收视观众多达2450万人。而剧中的演员们也纷纷表现出真正的政治热情，扮演森美的罗布洛 (Rob Lowe)成为阿诺·施瓦辛格的竞选顾问，扮演巴列总统的马丁·辛(Martin Sheen)则成为前一阵子好莱坞反战的中坚分子。
　　单纯从艺术角度来说，《白宫群英》在制作上比较活泼。虽然还是以拥护白宫为主旋律，但也不乏讽刺与调侃；虽然剧集强调纯属虚构，但暴露了众多白宫运作的真实内幕，因而也更受观众的欢迎。
　　在《白宫群英》里活跃的人物除了总统巴列及其家人外，还有他的一系列重要幕僚。从这个阵容便可看出，从全球战略的制定到总统一枚胸针的选择，在剧集里均可获得关注。当然其中也少不了各种谈情说爱的绯闻，其中不乏与现实“巧合"之处，例如在第一季中总统的女儿与白宫实习生大谈恋爱，而在剧集播出不久，便有消息称当时的总统克林顿的女儿与一名白宫实习生热恋。
　　剧集一方面为观众提供了一个窥视国家大事运作过程、窥视政坛要人的私生活的窗口，一方面又试图通过自己的表现影响高层，真正起到为总统出谋划策的作用，两头讨好，两方受益。
　　《白宫群英》给人的启示是，不仅以往那种让总统自己驾着飞机拯救全世界的手法已经落伍，从正面歌颂白宫也迷惑不了观众的眼睛。当传媒已颠覆了一切“神化"的可能的时候，与其用连小孩子都不相信的光环来包装总统，倒不如洗掉铅华，用有血有肉的真材猛料赢得公众的支持。

 20 世纪 80 年代末的“撒旦恐慌”期间，一位深受爱戴的校队四分卫失踪，一支陷入困境的高中重金属乐队意识到，他们可以利用小镇对神秘学突然产生的兴趣，打造成撒旦金属乐队，但一系列离奇的谋杀、绑架和报道的“超自然活动”引发了一场皮革钉头的猎巫行动，直接将他们引向了极端分子。

　　What could possibly have ended the tight-knit thirty year friendship of Tully and Kate, our "Firefly Lane Girls Forever"? We'll learn the answer this season -- but first -- Kate grapples with the painful aftermath of Johnny's ill-fated trip to Iraq, while Tully faces a lawsuit after walking away from her talk show, and must start her career over from the bottom. This leads her to search for answers about who she is and where she comes from -- including a quest to find the father she never met, against the wishes of her secretive hippie mother, Cloud. In the '80s, we see Kate and Johnny first fall in love, creating more than a little drama in the newsroom where they work, as Tully's career rises and she spars (and flirts!) with cocky sportscaster Danny Diaz. She just might have met her match -- that is, if they can stop arguing for five minutes. While in the '70s, teenage Kate and Tully struggle to keep their friendship together as Cloud goes to jail for dealing drugs and Tully goes to live with her grandmother, far away from Firefly Lane. As the girls face the tumult of high school apart, they know the one thing they really need is each other.

　　智慧、勇敢与正义化身的侦探角色总是能受到观众的喜欢，丧妻的退休探长乔治·詹特利（George Gently）就是极具个性和强烈正义感的好男人，人们一提到他的名字就提心吊胆，因为他拥有能够制服伦敦臭名昭著的黑帮的铁腕手段。他和他的搭档约翰·巴克斯（John Bacchcus）一次次深入险境，解开了各种案件的层层谜团。
　　这部BBC出品的传统英伦侦探剧改编自作家艾伦·亨特的《乔治侦探》系列，在上个世纪60年代的英国上演了一幕幕老少搭档侦破案件的精彩故事。《乔治·詹特利探案》在澳大利亚、挪威、德国、比利时、荷兰、加拿大、印度、日本、法国、爱沙尼亚等多个国家播出，取得了不俗的收视成绩。
　　扮演乔治的马丁·肖是英国最受欢迎的演员之一，在他的表演生涯中，成功诠释了一百多个电视剧角色。同时，马丁·肖在戏剧舞台上更加活跃，凭借百老汇经典剧目《理想的丈夫》中的戈林勋爵这一角色，他赢得了托尼奖提名和纽约喜剧委员会奖最佳演员。而乔治的年轻搭档约翰的扮演者李·恩格里比，观众对他应该并不陌生，他就是哈利波特电影第三部《哈利波特和阿兹卡班的囚徒》中骑士公交车的车长——史坦·桑派。
　　两位不同风格的主演将经典的英伦侦探剧模式中个性十足的侦探乔治和不太情愿跟在他身后的年轻警察演绎的淋漓尽致，剧中两人配合默契，不乏幽默互动，面对扑朔迷离案件，一点点抽丝剥茧，最后查明真凶，是侦探剧迷们不可错过的佳作。

 As Murder, She Wrote saunters through its sixth (of an eventual 12) season, star Angela Lansbury maintains her eternally buoyant and inquisitive air as Jessica Fletcher, professional writer and amateur sleuth. Though Jessica continued to investigate murders in her home town of Cabot Cove and elsewhere (in the worlds of high finance, opera, and voodoo, among other settings), this season began the practice of guest detective episodes, introduced by Jessica as either a story she wrote or a tale told by a friend, but starring a variety of quirky investigators: An ex-football player (Ken Howard, The White Shadow) paired with a clever poodle; a television crime-show producer who solved crime in real life (Diana Canova, Soap); a stout Irish detective (longtime character actor Pat Hingle); an abrasive homicide cop (Barry Newman, Vanishing Point); as well as recurring Murder, She Wrote characters like former jewel thief Dennis Stanton (Keith Michell) and British secret agent Michael Haggerty (Len Cariou). The producers were obviously hoping to use Murder, She Wrote's popularity to spin-off new series, but nothing from this season took off and viewer resistance soon brought the practice to an end. Executives must have been surprised to discover that, though murder mysteries are plot-driven, this show's success depends heavily on the undeniable charm of star Lansbury. Still, these one-off episodes are of a consistent quality with Lansbury's, and viewers open to variety will enjoy them just as much. The rest of the season features the usual astonishing array of guests, including movie stars old (Donald O'Connor, Singin' in the Rain) and recent (Elliott Gould, The Long Goodbye), television stalwarts (Shirley Jones, The Partridge Family; Jerry Stiller, The King of Queens; Doris Roberts, Everyone Loves Raymond; Kevin Tighe, Battlestar Galactica; and Gavin McLeod, The Love Boat), and D-list celebrities to die for (Dack Rambo, Morgan Brittany, Susan Anton, and more).
