　　故事描述女警官Catherine（Sarah Lancashire）带领一个调查组来到约克郡一处偏远的山谷调查一起绑架案，但很快发现案情线索复杂。在一连串多米诺骨牌式的事件发生后，这起案件引出了多起更加严重的犯罪。

　　她们是三个集美貌、智慧于一身的女人：娜塔利（卡梅隆·迪亚茨饰）、戴兰（德鲁·巴里摩尔饰）、埃历克斯（刘玉玲饰），因为她们是为查理先生效命，故人们又习惯称她们是“查理的天使”。她们的使命就是在查理的带领下，锄奸惩恶，伸张正义。
　　埃瑞克·克诺斯（山姆·洛克威尔饰）是克诺斯高科技工程的创始人，就在他刚刚设计了一套声音辨认系统软件后，意外地被人绑架了。由于这套声音辨认系统软件比原先依靠指纹辨认罪犯的方法更加精确，所以如果它落在坏人手中，后果将不堪设想……
　　就在工作人员正为埃瑞克的失踪不知所措时，克诺斯工程的负责人伍德先生想到了现在只有查理和他那三个聪明性感的探员才能救出克诺斯，于是伍德立刻雇佣了他们，并把希望全寄托在查理和他的“天使”身上。
　　在娜塔利、戴兰和埃历克斯了解整个案情后，三个人不约而同地把注意力集中在克诺斯高科技工程的对手---红星系统，这个目前全世界最大无线通讯人造卫星网络的负责人罗格的身上，一致认为他的嫌疑最大。
　　通过三人的乔装打扮与日夜跟踪，娜塔利、戴兰和埃历克斯终于在罗格和生意合伙人的身上发现了蛛丝马迹。就在她们计划如何营救出埃瑞克、并将罗格一伙一网打尽的时候，戴兰突然接到了一个神秘电话，这个电话不仅把“天使”们的计划全盘打乱，她们的生命同时也受到了威胁  。

　　第三季反英雄男主Ash Williams（Bruce Campbell）发现自己原来有个女儿Brandy Barr（Arielle Carver-O’Neill），另外虽然上季Ash已经把恶魔打回老家，但本季Ruby与她新朋友来到他面前，警告他黑恶势力仍然存在着。

　　Morse is taken seriously ill at a museum reception and is hospitalized. In the hospital, Supt. Strange, visits Morse to push him to take early retirement, while Dr. Millicent 'Millie' Van Buren gives him her book on a 140 year-old court case known as the Oxford Canal Murders. The case involved the murder and rape of a young woman, Mrs Joanna Franks, traveling by canal boat from Coventry to London. The case resulted in three boatmen being sentenced to death and two of them hanged. Morse starts to read Millie's book and dreams about it. He soon has a number of problems with the case.
　　Why weren't the three men also charged with theft? Why did Mrs Franks take a boat instead of a train that was much faster and comfortable and only slightly more expensive? Why didn't she abandon the boat after she complained about lewd behavior of the crew at the shipping office in Banbury? Why did she then drink and 'socialise' with the crew? What happened to her 'carpet bag' with which she arrived on the boat but which was not mentioned in the court case, nor was it stored in the archives with her, almost empty, trunk? The trunk was marked with initials of her first husband who had died. How did it happen that her shoes were found on the boat but nobody saw her return to the boat from the forest?
　　PC Adrian Kershaw does some brilliant leg work for Morse. He studied history and has invaluable background knowledge. For instance, he mentions that the boatmen had bad reputation because they worked on Sundays and did not attend church. Later a chapel was built for them in Oxford.
　　The dead woman's clothes and the shoes found on the boat are submitted to modern forensic investigation. The result is that the shoes did not belong to the dead woman found in the water because she was much taller.The shoes were never used in the forest.
　　Only Mrs Franks' husband, Charles Franks, was called to identify the body of the dead woman. He claimed that, while her face was darkened and disfigured, he found a birth mark behind her ear. The prosecutor welcomed that information "that only a husband or a lover would know". The accused were not shown the body. The defense attorney merely claimed that the guilt of the three men was not proved. All three accused claimed to the end that they were innocent. One of them was not executed because he embraced Christianity in prison.
　　Morse instructs Kershaw to investigate if Charles Franks benefited from his wife's death and, indeed, he pocketed 300 pounds insurance money. Case closed: Charles Franks murdered a tall women and dropped her in the canal after meeting Joanna in the forest. If Joanna Franks jumped off the boat at the same time as the dead body hit the water, she swam to the bank and joined her husband. The couple changed their names, in the case of 'Charles Franks' a second time after he 'died' as Joanna's first husband. The fourth boatman, a youngster who was not charged, was probably paid by Joanna to give false testimony.
　　Morse travels to Ireland and has a grave of Joanna's first husband exhumed. The coffin contains bags of sand and some stones.

　　CBS宣布续订《海军罪案调查处》第18季。

　　本季将迎来本剧的第200集。编剧透露“我们将讲述一个独特的、令人意想不到的故事，并籍此帮助大家回顾过去的点点滴滴。届时观众们将会见到几张久未露面的熟悉的面孔。“

　　Aired on HBO from 21 July 2002 to 8 September 2002

　　神秘博士再度归来！博士将踏足美国，与Amy和百夫长Rory展开全新征程，等等，还有！River Song，这个神秘莫测的女人将再次回到博士身边，River Song到底是谁？她和博士是什么关系？万众期待的“博士的妻子”一集也将在本季中播出，由科幻大师尼尔·盖曼亲自撰写的该集将会把剧情推向何处？又会揭开博士的哪些秘密？

　　这部剧集是上世纪九十年代最流行的情景喜剧《Seinfeld》的主创之一拉里·大卫(Larry meijubar.net David)自编自演，根据他在洛杉矶影艺圈的生活创造的喜剧。他把《Seinfeld》的风格推向极端化。HBO因是有线电视所以不需要很大的观众圈，所以HBO上的剧集常常风格独具。《抑制热情》显得特别生活化，很是写意，有很多现场发挥，刚开始播时观众圈不大，之后开始名声见长。拉里·大卫凭此剧获艾美奖2000年度喜剧类剧集最佳男主角提名。
　　本剧是根据拉里-大卫当初在洛杉矶演艺圈的亲身经历改变而成，并由大卫自编自演而成的喜剧。把《Seinfeld》的风格推向了极端化。通过《抑制热情》让观众看到了大卫的正直、大方和谦虚，这位创作大师通过HBO带给观众无数的欢笑。而剧情游弋在真实与虚构之间，大卫和演员们把真实的洛杉矶生活呈现在银幕上，就仿佛有一架摄影机，随时把那真实的经历实况转播给观众一样。更重要的是，本剧本身是没有剧本的，往往依靠演员们的即兴表演赋予演出进度和新鲜感。而这造就了本剧的变幻莫测和与众不同。

　　一部极具争议性的连续剧，打破了传统警匪片套路，刻画了性格复杂的警察，他们在与各种罪案做斗争的同时，也面临各种自身问题的困扰，彻底打破了“警察就是好人”这种简单的界定。忠诚耿直，嫉恶如仇的维克与妻子分居，所以非常宠爱三个孩子；办案时他只遵循自己的一套方法。他的手段虽然有效，却没有得到其他同事的支持，曾是他亲密搭档的夏恩，成长为一名思想和行为相对独立的探员。以前曾是Strike组成员的柯蒂斯也看不惯他粗野的办案方式。但是在家庭暴力科工作的莫妮卡-罗琳，重返Farminghton后大胆启用维克，不但在警察与社区间、警察与黑帮间，甚至在警察内部引发了极大争议。

　　TBS过去直接预订《奇迹缔造者 Miracle Workers》成剧，这部喜剧由《哈利波特 Harry Potter》系列主角Daniel Radcliffe，以及Steve Buscemi主演，这剧由Lorne Michaels当执行制片﹑《男追女 Man Seeking Woman》的Simon Rich主创。
　　这部根据Simon Rich所著一书《What in God’s Name》改篇的7集诗选剧预定在18年播出，《奇迹缔造者》是部职场喜剧，不过这个「职场」是指天堂，Daniel Radcliffe饰演低级天使Craig，负责处理全人类的祈祷，Steve Buscemi（原本是Owen Wilson，后被取代）则饰演Craig的顶头上司 - 上帝。这位上帝因为自己爱好关系而擅离职守，因此Craig为了阻止地球被毁，他得在限期前完成最不可能的奇迹。
　　Geraldine Viswanathan饰演Eliza，她经过在天堂收发室的500年默默耕耘﹑孜孜不倦地分类人间数十亿人的各种祈祷，终于被提拔到「祈祷回应部」。她对自己终于能为人类回复祈祷来帮助他们而感到高兴，但Eliza发现真相是仅有极少量的祈祷会得到答复，这现实泼了她一脸冷水……更要命的是这些所谓「祈祷」，只是想找到车匙或想赶上电梯这类鸡毛蒜皮小事；而身为完美主义者的她，决定在新工作第一天就处理重要「祈祷」，但这无意中引发了能毁灭地球的灾难。
　　Jon Bass饰演Sam，温柔体贴﹑害羞﹑善良﹑孤独的他认为自己没吸引力又没成就而感到自卑。当他遇上Laura时，爱上对方的Sam不敢有所行动，因此他决定向上帝祈祷能与Laura一起。Karan Soni饰演上帝的左右手，负责每周向上帝汇报；他性格上有点「好好先生」，因此他得尽力去应付这顽童似的上司，并与他争论一些绝对会引发大问题的主意，例如炸了Bill Maher（单口秀演员﹑清谈节目主持）……或者毁坏地球。
