A Different World: Season 1 (1987) 11% EDIT “For all the strengths of its supporting players, A Different World remains, at this point, a blur, an unfocused enterprise with its potential barely scratched.” – Philadelphia Daily News Feb 9, 2024 Full Review Star Trek: The Next Generation: Season 1 (1987) 91% EDIT “The hope that Star Trek has held out to us for 21 years -- that we're going to somehow work through our prejudices and worst impulses until they wear away completely -- is the most exhilarating piece of thematic baggage [TNG] brings from the original.” – Philadelphia Daily News Mar 17, 2023 Full Review Lonesome Dove: Season 1 (1989) 98% EDIT “For once, I can proclaim that the miniseries form has been justified, American literature has been well-served, and the Western genre has been truly and honestly revitalized.” – Philadelphia Daily News Oct 7, 2021 Full Review Cheers: Season 5 (1986) 50% EDIT “After five years of approach-avoidance games with Sam, with Frasier, with life itself, Diane's act became very, very old.” – Philadelphia Daily News Jun 15, 2021 Full Review The Underground Railroad: Season 1 (2021) 95% EDIT “Jenkins has brought to his Railroad much of the lyricism and intimacy of his 2016 Oscar winner while rendering Whitehead's alternate antebellum America with both a rigorous attention to period detail and a masterly aptitude for orchestrating menace.” – Artforum May 28, 2021 Full Review The Academy Awards: Season 61 (1989) 12% EDIT “Carr decided to demonstrate what a Master Showman he was by putting together a sleek, shiny machine... The result was heavy-handed and self-indulgent.” – Philadelphia Daily News Apr 23, 2021 Full Review Golden Globes: Season 71 (2014) 89% EDIT “The Golden Globes are, like it or not, an Occasion-with-a-capital-O, much like weddings, Thanksgiving and other rituals that often provoke sentiment and warmth -- and slavishness and inappropriate behavior.” – CNN.com Dec 3, 2019 Full Review Golden Globes: Season 72 (2015) 78% EDIT “For the most part, there was so much deportment, grace and dignified good intentions on display that you'd have thought you were watching the Oscars or something!” – CNN.com Dec 3, 2019 Full Review Golden Globes: Season 73 (2016) 33% EDIT “Gervais' trademark misanthropy, which was part of the advance hype, seemed, well, more trademarked and less scabrous than provocative.” – CNN.com Dec 2, 2019 Full Review
