Starz PILLARS OF THE EARTH has a cast of excellent actors with at least one breakout star – Eddie Redmayne
There hasn’t been a quality mini-series in some time now. There have been shows like “The Tudors” but those have been series rather than valid mini-series. Starz’ “Pillars of the Earth” is a true blue, full blown mini-series in every sense of the word. It is based on a popular novel, it has a limited running time (eight hours), and it has a cast of excellent actors with at least one breakout star – Eddie Redmayne.

A quick look at The USA Network's PSYCH
One of the USA Network’s most underappreciated TV series is “Psych.” Among the “White Collar,” “Burn Notice” and “In Plain Sight” hoopla this consistently well made show goes unnoticed. It is not that the show doesn’t have its fans, but in media attention to good TV shows it never gets mentioned. It is the “Rodney Dangerfield” of cable TV series – it gets no respect.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is a hooker!
Jennifer Love Hewitt has been on my radar since she appeared in the TV series “Party of Five.” Her next series “The Ghost Whisperer” didn’t hold much attraction for me, but her new Lifetime movie “The Client List” caught my eye. Having watched the film I have to say it is a vehicle worthy of her talent and her beauty.

Jackie previews TURMOIL & TRIUMPH : The George Shultz Years” airing on PBS
Television is at its best when it educates and informs. That is why programs such as PBS’ “Turmoil & Triumph: The George Shultz Years” are so important. A program such as this one educates, informs and if done correctly entertains. The three hours dedicated to a study of George Shultz’s impact on history meets all of these goals.

Jackie Previews Syfy's new series HAVEN
Any project that has Stephen King’s name attached to it in any way gets my attention. Therefore I was intrigued by the announcement of the new Syfy series “Haven.” It is based on the book THE COLORADO KID by Stephen King. That was enough for me to get my chiller juices churning and it should be for you. Admittedly there have been some misfires when it comes to adapting King’s literary works to the big or small screen but each project had something in it that would pique your interest.

Jackie previews EUREKA premiering on Syfy July 9th
“Eureka” is back on the Syfy Channel for its fourth season and this year looks to be one of its best. This quirky show about a town that is a little bit out of the ordinary has amassed a solid following over the past few years. Its strength has been in its unique characters and situations while its detractions have been in its silliness. This year the subject matter and the treatment of its lead characters appear to be more serious.
