"The Handmaid's Tale" is a TV series based on a novel of the same name by Margaret Atwood.

Using state-of-the-art technology and amazing skill with make-up and costuming, Chance, the main character, becomes literally a human target. In each episode of "Human Target," Chance assumes the identity and everyday life of a prominent person in danger. Describing himself as an "extreme bodyguard," Chance uses his wits, skills, and wise-cracking bravado to turn serious danger into a trap for the villains. The sinister evil-doers plot kidnapping, blackmail, extortion, and especially death; the "human target" plots capture. Not the kind of thing for which an ordinary guy usually would volunteer. "Human Target" TV show was praised by the critics and audiences for the quality of the acting"”especially the performances by Earl Haley, Jr., which make a somewhat implausible premise absolutely believable and compelling. Because "Human Target," a decidedly out-of-the-box crime drama, is loosely based on the DC comic series of the same name, the creators have no shortage of bad guys, nor do they struggle to find quirky characters for Chance to impersonate. Critics and audiences agree that the actors playing the three main characters go a long way toward redeeming the show's average, sometimes genuinely awkward writing. They wonder, though, will the actors be able to hold the viewers' attention and loyalty long enough for the writing to fulfill the promise in the premise?

"Body of Proof" will bring at least one more strong female lead to network television, bringing the sum total to approximately two. Too bad they will compete head-to-head in the same time-slot; good thing we have DVRs.

Once upon a time MTV was all about music videos but ever since they began producing their own television series like The Hills they have evolved into a powerhouse in TV entertainment. The Hills is about the lives and ongoing happenings for several young women who reside in Los Angeles, California. Lauren, a young woman striving for her own independence, moves to LA with best friend Heidi and meet up with Audrina. Lauren interns with Teen Vogue, a teen magazine and becomes interested in the fashion industry. When her ex-boyfriend follows Lauren to LA they decide to get back together, which complicates her life. This show has the "reality TV" formula that is popular and gained The Hills some high accolades from the entertainment industry and spawned quite a few copy cat programs. While the young women have their romantic partners each is trying to make it and become successful, especially in the magazine and fashion industries that drew them to LA in the first place. As this is a show based on reality it's sometimes difficult to determine where reality leaves off and drama simply takes over. Still The Hills is fun to watch each week.

Sometimes "Bravo" serves-up high-quality instruction at least as powerfully as "The Learning Channel" and "National Geographic." Case in point: "Kell on Earth" reveals the ecology of New York's fashion industry, vividly illustrating the perilous lives of smaller fish on the couture food chain, and charting the symbiosis between design houses and the fashion press. The "Kell" in "Kell on Earth" refers to hyper-manic high-powered fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone, diva-dominatrix of public relations firm "People's Revolution." Although eponymous Kell gets the most air-time, "Kell on Earth" is not automatically all about her; instead, it shows the harried lives of second-tier stylists, public relations interns, and personal trainers who dwell near the bottom of New York's tumultuous, tempest-tossed fashion fishbowl. Observant viewers will note striking similarity between People's Revolution and Lauren Conrad's workplace on "The Hills" and "The City," which brought Cutrone into the public eye. Those same insightful viewers will see, however, that real-reality show "Kell on Earth" proves Cutrone's "little people" frequently sweat, swear, and stress, really working for their paychecks.
