  1. Still jonesing for 'West Wing'? Try Danish import 'Borgen'

    Thrusting an intelligent idealist into a leadership position is a time-honored method of chronicling the corruptive nature of power, particularly the political variety. (Please see "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington") In recent years, television writers have done a bit of narrative multi-tasking by making that person a woman--in the U.S. it was "Commander in Chief," in the U.K., "The Amazing Mrs. Pritchard." For Denmark, in case you were wondering, it's "Borgen," a political drama that's caused a stir for the past several years among American critics seeking to prove that such shows need not devolve into soap, sentiment or satire. (Also that TV critics are not afraid of subtitles.)

  2. Critic's picks: It's fun to be stuck in 'The Middle'

    "<strong>The Middle"</strong> -- Too long have the hilarious and down-rent relatable Hecks lived in the shadow of their upscale-yet-seeming-unemployed neighbors on"Modern Family." Patricia Heaton's Frankie and Neil Flynn's Mike remind us on a weekly basis that fatigue and bewilderment are the real resting states of family life and their assorted children -- jock Axl (Charlie McDermott), sweet 'n' goofy Sue (Eden Sher) and oddball bookworm Brick (Atticus Shaffer) -- are the anti-Abercrombie kids most of us once were. The season finale will be chock full o' milestones, Axl graduates high school, Brick moves on to middle school and Sue tries to get her license, for the sixth time. <em>ABC, Wednesday, 8 p.m.</em>

  6. SAG Awards give 'Downton Abbey' cast a proper welcome

    If it came as something of a surprise to audiences that PBS period drama "Downton Abbey" won the Screen Actors Guild Award for ensemble in a drama series, it was positively a shock to the cast of the British period piece.

  11. Golden Globes 2013: Follow the awards live on Twitter

    When Ricky Gervais hosted the Golden Globes last year, he noted that "the Golden Globes are just like the Oscars but without all that esteem." He then went on to say that the Globes are to the Oscars what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton: "A bit louder, a bit trashier, a bit drunker and more easily bought. Allegedly. Nothing&rsquo;s been proved," he said.
