The Salt Lake Tribune

If it doesn't get weighed down by its pedigree, its iffy network or its own rather far-reaching aspirations, Dawson's Creek may be worth a long and winding run. [20 Jan 1998, p.C7]

I was pleasantly surprised when the new two-part Salem's Lot, based on the Stephen King best-seller about a town of vampires, spooked me. And it did it the old-fashioned way, with genuine scares and classic horror elements. [18 June 2004, p.D17]

This is a show about a town filled with people who have supernatural powers, and yet its greatest power is to bore its viewers into TV-induced comas.

Not only does it feel unoriginal and tired, but it comes across as a vanity project for star/executive producer Jason Bateman, who also directs some episodes.

It's not a great show, but it's decent summer viewing. There are some laughs, and I liked it more as it went along.

The only explosion in Friends from College is that the entire eight-episode series is a stink bomb. It's crude, predictable and stupid.

This is pure escapism, shot on location in London, South Afrida, Russia and Cambodia. It's funny. It's fun.

Once you get over what might be the initial shock of Andrea's dirty mouth and incredibly frank talk, she's a very appealing character. And I'm Sorry is amusing. Sometimes even laugh-out-loud funny.

A summer series that begins pretty much just as you'd expect, but it seems to be relatively well done. The first couple of hours are OK, at least.

It's chaotic, sometimes almost incoherent. Wildly inconsistent, it veers from dark drama to lighthearted fun.
