In this utterly simplistic yet adorable animated series based on the books by Lauren Child, we follow the adventures of wise big brother Charlie, and his precocious little sister Lola as they experience everyday troubles children experience from trying new foods, to putting on school plays. The advantage of "Charlie and Lola" is, in spite of the difference in origin of production, the creators explore problems every child can relate to. In one episode, sleepy Lola insists she's not tired but Charlie has a plan to get her to bed, Lola insists she's not sick, and we discover the fear of spiders Lola has that Charlie tries to help her through.

"Charlie and Lola" is a non-violent and utterly charming series with two main characters that represent the different child stages. Charlie is a wiser young boy who has experienced it all and knows how to handle his little sister. Lola is the child exploring the world, and her big brother opens her up to it. Their relationship is touching, as Charlie displays his affection and guidance without hesitation. This is highly suggested for fans of "Max and Ruby" and "Little Bill."

Volume Three Now Available.

With a series that identifies every episode as "Con One," and "Con Two," it's pretty obvious from the get go, with "Hustle" you'll be delving into something completely unusual, and original. "Hustle" is a stylish series from the makers of "MI5" about a group of con men who choose their marks wisely, and construct elaborate schemes to bilk them out of their money. Like an episode of "Mission: Impossible," every episode is a new task, and we follow the group of pros in their specialty taking great pride in fooling their patsies, and often times the audience. "Hustle" is a series filled with twists and turns with a straight-faced demeanor that posits every plot with originality, and a unique sense of tension.

You're never sure what's going to happen, and you never trust what you're watching. Which is not a far off concept since the group of con men don't even trust one another. There is the wise older thief, the young hot head, the straight laced professional, the femme fatale, and the inside man who sets up the deals. The five characters are out on the London streets picking off wealthy executives and business men to grab their dough and have a good time cheating them. Tony Jordan's "Hustle" is an utterly engrossing bit of heists, thrills, and slick dialogue.

Highly suggested for fans of "The Sting," and "Ocean's Eleven."

Season Two Now Available.

In one skit a chubby chaser bumps into his obese ex-girlfriend at a health spa only to watch her and his morbidly obese girlfriend wrestle naked. Another skit involves an ugly Thai mail-in bride. "Little Britain" is a pretty ugly and unfunny show most of the time, and it can really grind on those who don't find rhythm in the comedy, but for fans of shows like "Monty Python," and "Kids in the Hall," they'll be right at home watching a fat chick having a dance off, and a mentally disabled man swim in a tank of seals.

"Little Britain" is shameless, disgusting, utterly ridiculous, and right up the alley of anyone willing to experiment with a new brand of comedy. I experimented... and I can do without it. For the obvious cult following this possesses, check out Series Three.

There were essentially two things that drew us to the hit revival of the science fiction phenomenon. The utterly fantastic talent of Christopher Eccleston who is the first embodiment of Doctor Who. While the new David Tennant is an eccentric and utterly zany variation, Eccleston's Doctor is very low-key, and goofy. But there's no denying Eccleston's Doctor is fantastic. Eccleston, as the good doctor, lands on modern London returning back to the underworld and once again begins re-appearing in the public sub-conscious. After nearly being murdered by an army of mannequins at her department store, Rose Tyler is rescued by the doctor, goes on her first adventure with Doctor Who.

The second attraction was the utterly sexy and rather ravishing Billie Piper who is fun, attractive, and likeable as Rose Tyler, a complex heroine who we can get behind thanks to the often competent and consistently charming performance of Piper. It can't hurt being locked with Piper twenty four hours a day. Now Rose and the good doctor experience zombies, killer mannequins, gas spewing aliens, an adventurous space captain all in the doctor's famous phone box. And hell, even Simon Pegg from "Spaced," and "Shaun of the Dead" makes a pair of memorable guest appearances. The boxed set is utterly pricey, but well worth it with wonderful casing and excellent picture quality.

This revival birthed new Doctor Who fans (yo) with its slick direction, engrossing story arcs, and catchy theme song, and it's worth a watch for the open-minded television addict, the cynical science fiction buff, and or, of course, the legions of Doctor Who fans out there who need a new sci-fi wet dream in Piper/Rose.

Highly suggested for Dr. Who buffs, and "Sliders" fans.

Series Two coming soon. We're looking forward to it.
