Moonlighting is a sleuth-and-smoocher that is very funny and so downright friendly you keep wishing these people were real so you could hang with 'em on the corner, talkin' trash and lookin' sly. [01 Mar 1985, p.67]

A strong supporting cast includes Margaret Avery as her sick and often fretful mother, Richard Roundtree as her father and Lisa Vidal as her producer and friend, Kara. But it's Union's commitment to all the craziness in her character's life (including sex in all the wrong places, with all the wrong people) that's likely to make Being Mary Jane my newest guilty pleasure.

This is not the strongest comedy you could hope for, but it does have a number of positive values. [30 Sep 1982, p.48]

Murder She Wrote is quality, even if it needs more vinegar and less honey. [28 Sep 1984, p.71]

The show is strong and funny. It portrays a family that lives and loves together in a house filled with mutual respect, but without cloying sentimentality. That's unusual for television. [22 Sep 1982, p.45]

A pilot for this series showed promise, but the premiere is disappointing. Most of the writing is trite and the Walker episode is juvenile -- for that matter, so is Walker. [23 Sep 1977, p.55]

[Mahershala Ali's] take on Hays enhances rather than overwhelms a story intriguing enough to justify the show’s 35-year timeline.

It’s probably not the best news to hard-core Stephen King fans that I like what I’ve seen of Castle Rock, the J.J. Abrams-produced Hulu series that’s set in one of the fictional Maine towns King has so creepily populated. Because I’m the kind of viewer who tends to like the TV adaptations of King’s stories right up until the moment the otherworldly horror really gets going.

Adams--as a woman who has pain written all over her--is the best reason to stick with Sharp Objects as it winds its way, sometimes a mite slowly, through twisted mysteries with deep roots.

Its casting is more diverse, its women more nuanced. Its Robot is amazing. But the story, which I liked better 10 episodes in than I did at the beginning, takes a long time to get off the launchpad.
