'Terror in Mumbai'

TELEVISION REVIEW: The HBO doc recounts the deadly 2008 attack in India, using security footage, intercepted cellphone conversations and videotape to give viewers a 'you-are-there' feel.

'Chef Academy'

TELEVISION REVIEW: Bravo tries a slightly different recipe on the cooking-competition genre.

'The Prisoner'

TELEVISION REVIEW: The AMC remake of the cult classic '60s British spy-fi series won't hold viewers captive.

'Fanboy and Chum Chum'

TELEVISION REVIEW: In their world, they are superheroes

'By the People: The Election of Barack Obama' on HBO

TELEVISION REVIEW: The documentary premiering on HBO features an element of reality missing from most TV news.

'The Botany of Desire'

TELEVISION REVIEW: The PBS program looks at how plants have evolved and prospered by making themselves 'eye candy' to humans and other living things. Call it survival of the most alluring.

'Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins From Outer Space' on NBC

TELEVISION REVIEW: The film hit invades the small screen with its charm mainly intact, and with a Halloween theme to boot.

DVDs: 'On the Road With Charles Kuralt: Set 1'

DVD REVIEW: The CBS reporter's instincts for finding uniqueness in the commonplace made his journeys into America's heartland must-see viewing for two decades.

Mein Camp: YouTube videos vent through Hitler movie clip

CRITIC'S NOTEBOOK: Different subtitles for the scene from 2004's 'Der Untergang'('Downfall') make political statements, snipe at something or are just funny. They also continue a tradition of trivializing an evil man.

Review: 'Lock 'n Load' on Showtime

TELEVISION REVIEW: Gun store customers. Hidden camera. That might sound diverting, but on Showtime's reality series isn't, really.

Dollying through that fourth wall on 'It's Garry Shandling's Show'

DVD REVIEW: The funny guy deconstructed the sitcom on his Showtime series, which is newly out on DVD.

A new Monty Python documentary looks back

CLASSIC TV: To mark the 40th anniversary of 'Flying Circus,' the five living original members reminisce.

Review: 'American Masters: Joan Baez: How Sweet the Sound' on PBS

TELEVISION REVIEW: The legend is fascinating, the person even more so.

'Curb Your Enthusiasm's' 'Seinfeld' reunion makes sense

CRITIC'S NOTEBOOK: Larry David's show-within-a-show is the best way for George, Kramer, Elaine and Jerry to reunite without having to feel so good.

'Inventing LA: The Chandlers & Their Times'

TELEVISION REVIEW: The family that built a media empire -- and Los Angeles -- is the focus of a PBS documentary.

'Hank' and 'The Middle'

TELEVISION REVIEW: Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton, seen together on 'Back to You,' are now in separate sitcoms.

'Brothers' on Fox

TELEVISION REVIEW: A new domestic sitcom about two mid-30s siblings forced to move back in with their parents generates some laughs amid the bickering.

'FlashForward'

TELEVISION REVIEW: The plot jumps forward in time. Will the 'Lost'-like show be around to let everything play out?

'Eastwick'

TELEVISION REVIEW: Rebecca Romijn and Paul Gross star in ABC's adaptation of 'The Witches of Eastwick.' It's pleasant and easy to watch.

A stay at 'Mercy' hospital wouldn't be bad

TELEVISION REVIEW: NBC's ensemble medical drama looks to be a solid, although not remarkable, series.

Review: 'Accidentally on Purpose' on CBS

TELEVISION REVIEW: Jenna Elfman's career won't likely advance in this slight comedy about a career woman who's unexpectedly pregnant. But the door is open to interesting plot directions.
