  • Rock 'n' roll rebellion, redux

    At a Green Day concert, shouting and smiling next to my 13-year-old son, I watched the generation gap disappear.
  • The right man for the job

    His county -- and his country -- cried out for him. And Bruce Springsteen came through.
  • "Dark Shadows"

    Years before Buffy, Angel and Anne Rice, this ultra-cheapo Gothic soap opera entranced a generation with soulful vampires, werewolves and lost love.
  • Sex, the city and the price of freedom

    In the latest whirling, surprising season of "Sex and the City," our four heroines get what they (think they) want.
  • Rebel, rebel

    James Dean lives again in a riveting, beautiful TNT movie and an uncanny performance from James Franco.
  • TV's cruelest summer

    "Fear Factor" and "Spy TV" take the tube to new lows.
  • Who does Buffy have to slay to get an Emmy nomination?

    The lamest awards show in the land stiffs the best show on TV -- again.
  • A Pee-wee by any other name ...

    There's something oddly familiar about the impish host of ABC's "You Don't Know Jack." Plus: Martin Short in "Primetime Glick."
  • From A to Xena

    Those about to have their series finale, we salute you.
  • Stevie Nicks

    She's cool, she's hot and she's back. The witchy '70s glam princess, who was Lilith Fair before there was one, is in style -- again.
  • Buffy's leap of faith

    A shocking season finale leaves the Slayer's fans facing the void. Plus: "West Wing," "X-Files" wrap-ups
  • The dying game

    A bloody "Sopranos" season ends with an emotionally bruising finale.
  • Back from the dead -- it's "Saturday Night Live"!

    Led by Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon, an enlivened show reverberates with the sweet thwack of jokes hit out of the park.
  • I survived "Survivor: The Australian Outback"

    And all I got was this drowsy sequel.
  • Rude Britannia

    Anne Robinson, host of NBC's hit "Weakest Link," takes all the fun out of watching TV game shows.
  • President Dumbass

    In the bratty "That's My Bush!" the "South Park" boys claim they're sending up sitcoms, not George W. Right. And Cartman's a genius.
  • Cops and rockers

    Denis Leary shines as a burned-out cop in "The Job"; Chris Isaak is as dull as dust in his Showtime comedy.
  • The death of Buffy's mom

    An amazing, buzz-heavy episode takes the most daring show on TV to a new level.
  • Blue Glow

    Salon's TV picks for Wednesday, March 7, 2001
  • Sympathy for the (Jersey) devil

    James Gandolfini, David Chase and the "Sopranos" crew return for a bold and brilliant third season opener.
  • Who's watching who?

    Salon's TV critic picks the 10 most paranoid TV shows of all time.
  • The life of crime

    "CSI" criminalist Gil Grissom relishes fishing bug larvae out of corpse wounds. On PBS's "Touching Evil" it's the detectives who creep and crawl.
  • Mother ship

    Gillian Anderson's miraculously pregnant Dana Scully has brought "The X-Files" back to its eerie and disturbing best.
  • The return of "Survivor"

    Back to the outback! Toned bodies, icky bugs and a landscape littered with kangaroos. Can the sequel measure up to the original?
  • Who's "The Mole"? Who cares?

    Plus: On the riveting courtroom drama "100 Centre Street," legendary director Sidney Lumet returns to TV with a bang -- and a lunch-break tumble or two.
