班克罗夫特第二季

　　新一季中，莱特曼集团的经营似乎陷入最困难的时期，集团与FBI的长期合作宣告终止，卡尔·莱特曼博士（蒂姆·罗素 Tim Roth 饰）签约的新书迟迟未能完成，面临对簿公堂的窘境，而这位拥有极高才华的天才博士和家人、同事之间的关系也变得颇为复杂。他与女儿艾米莉（海莉·麦可法兰德 Hayley McFarland 饰）相互依存，女儿有时会反抗父亲的强势，扮演着母亲的角色；他和吉莉安·福斯特（凯利·威廉姆斯 Kelli Williams 饰）的关系暧昧不清，相互试探，又颇显紧张。
　　与此同时，各种各样棘手案件纷至沓来，银行抢劫案、文物展览会盗窃案、矿井爆炸案、宗教团体事件……无一不对莱特曼提出最严峻和最危险的考验。

　　故事讲述两个机器人授命在一个神秘星球抚育人类后代，随着宗教差异导致的分崩离析，机器人发现控制人类信仰是一件极度危险的事情。斯科特表示：“我一直在寻找科幻题材的新疆界，这部剧集将展现一个与众不同、充满想象力的世界，同时这部剧也提出了这样的问题：是什么让我们成为了人类？是什么构成了一个家庭？如果我们能重新来过、消除我们所在星球的混乱会怎么样？我们能幸存下去吗？我们能做得更好吗？”

　　ABC拿下Michael Colton及John Aboud合作编写的家庭喜剧项目《家庭经济学 Home Economics》，这喜剧灵感来自Michael Colton的家庭，以三个兄弟姐妹的竞争来表达出「金钱」的主题，剧中三人一个是1%里的富人﹑一个是中产家庭，一个则算是一贫如洗。

　　该剧根据同名经典黑色小说（noir novel）改编，由奥斯卡影后凯特·温丝莱特（Kate Winslet）主演。故事发生在美国经济大萧条时期，女主人公Mildred Pierce Beragon与失业的丈夫Bert（Brian F. O'Byrne）分了手，靠一份女服务员的工作维持生计。她一方面想维持自己的社会地位，另一方面又渴望独立和自由。在为生活奔忙的同时，她还要想尽一切办法赢得女儿Veda（Evan Rachel Wood）的爱与尊重。Guy Pearce扮演Mildred的情人，一个富有的花花公子。James LeGros扮演Bert以前的商业伙伴。Melissa Leo扮演Mildred的好友。Morgan Turner扮演童年时的Vada。
　　可以预见，明年金球奖和艾美奖与电视迷你剧有关的主要奖项都将归属这部剧集。

　　Eminent Boston Psychiatrist, Frasier Crane, last seen gracing the bars of Cheers has left his life there to start afresh in Seattle. He now has a spot as a popular radio Psychiatrist, giving him the chance to spread words of wit and wisdom to the masses. He shares his apartment with his retired cop father, Martin, and his father's physical care assistant, Daphne Moon. Add in brother Niles, Eddie the dog, some bizarre situations and plenty of humour and you've got all the ingredients for an excellent show and worthy successor to Cheers.

　　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.
