都铎王朝第三季

　　在得克萨斯州的一个小镇，受欢迎的青少年凯特被绑架。看似毫无关系，一个名叫珍妮特的女孩从一个甜美、笨拙的局外人变成了镇上最受欢迎的女孩，但到了1995年，她成了美国最受鄙视的人。

　　这是一部具有相当强警示意义的刑侦片，细腻真实地再现了发生在我们现实生活中一个个罕见的凶杀案件。全剧每集讲述一个故事，每集一个案例，且每一个案例的切入角度不同，有因婚外恋引起的凶杀，有因生意场里纠纷而起的灭口，有发生在宾馆里的令人触目的血案……
　　发生在普通生活中的杀戮事件如此令人心惊，也含蓄地道出了潜伏在这些杀人案件背后的一些社会根源。

　　唐甜甜、阮绵绵、高晓晓、崔梅子等四人是某音乐学院同一宿舍的大四女生，在这大学时代最后的一个冬季，将注定是不平静的，也会留给她们永不磨灭的友情记忆。
　　富家子汤克想追求孤傲的冷艳美女阮绵绵，却碰到了一座冰山，这反而更激发了想征服绵绵的决心。这时在音乐学院里却发生了一件大事，高晓晓的同乡拿着高晓晓为了上学向他借学费的借条向她逼婚。高晓晓拿出自己打工挣的钱想先还一部分，却遭到断然拒绝。
　　高晓晓情急之下，想跳楼了事。为了阻止晓晓做傻事，唐甜甜只好硬着头皮，将还钱的责任揽到自己的身上。唐甜甜、阮绵绵、崔梅子等人拿出自己的积蓄和拍卖自有物品所换的钱，来帮助高晓晓还债。私下高晓晓却告诉唐甜甜大家凑的钱连还一半都不够。
　　因害怕晓晓再次跳楼，唐甜甜决定典身救友，答应汤克提出的建议，做他的出租女友，帮助汤克追求好友阮绵绵。
　　唐克的表兄林舟在音乐学院旁开了一间音乐餐厅，与此同时，在学院的旧乐器仓库，午夜过后会不时传出哀惋的钢琴乐曲。这乐曲深深打动了唐甜甜，也引发了她寻找作者的好奇心。
　　在合同约束下，汤克在甜甜身旁经常出入，这引起了绵绵的猜疑。绵绵虽然拒绝了汤克的追求，但心高气傲的她还是十分失落，而这一切正是汤克想看到的。在阮绵绵的生日晚会上，唐克将精心挑选原本送给阮绵绵的项链送给了唐甜甜，这极大的刺激了阮绵绵，再加上乐队排练上自己首席小提琴手的位置被唐甜甜替换，使两个人的友情彻底破裂。面对绵绵对自己的敌意，甜甜有口说不出，只希望用自己的行动来化解绵绵的误解。
　　甜甜独自演奏父亲的二胡残曲来诉说内心的委屈，却陷入到更深的没落之中，因为她没有能力完成父亲的遗作。
　　甜甜在帮助汤克打扫房间的时候，无意发现其表哥林舟就是夜半在仓库弹琴的人。甜甜不忍林舟的才华被埋没掉，鼓励林舟重新开始音乐创作，林舟被甜甜打动，渐渐从往日恋情中走了出来。
　　绵绵因为拉琴不专心被老师批评而甜甜却多次得到老师细心指点，偏激的阮绵绵不反思自己的行为，反而怀疑唐甜甜在背后搞小动作，于是无端指责甜甜靠色相来吸引男人。高晓晓畏惧绵绵的气焰，不敢将甜甜替她还债的真相说出，只有率真的崔梅子仗义执言替甜甜打抱不平。
　　汤克因为追求绵绵未果，爱情失意，放弃了学业考试，惹得父母大怒。甜甜认为都是自己的责任，希望汤克可以重新振作起来。
　　因为不愿和甜甜同台演出，绵绵率性出走，在大雨中得了急性肺炎。此时绵绵的单身母亲却因为生意失败，失去了踪影。甜甜不顾身体不适，彻夜守护，绵绵却不相信甜甜是真心待她。
　　绵绵向冷竣忧郁的林舟示爱未果，于是迁怒于唐甜甜，到处寻找机会打击甜甜。这时阮绵绵得知出租女友合同的来历，决定和汤克签署一分同样的合同，不过角色却变成汤克要一切听自己的，汤克受宠若惊，欣然同意。甜甜在为汤克高兴的同时，内心却有点失落。
　　绵绵根本就不喜欢汤克，她喜欢的是林舟，因此经常捉弄汤克，汤克十分苦恼。一次酒后，他当众羞辱甜甜以发泄心中的苦闷，林舟为了保护甜甜上前阻止，使两个表兄弟发生了激烈冲突。
　　林舟克服了心疾，并答应唐甜甜将其父亲的二胡残曲加以完善，但林舟向唐甜甜谨慎示爱却遭到婉拒，原来在不知不觉间，甜甜喜欢上了汤克。

　　绵绵是否有机会向绵绵表露心迹，诉说心中的悔恨……
　　汤克经历了这么多情感的波折，是否得偿所愿呢……

 Season 5 finds Murder, She Wrote's intrepid Jessica Fletcher in fine sleuthing form, and venturing farther afield from Cabot Cove--a good thing, since at the rate the murders have been happening, that town would be nearly cleaned out. Some of the best episodes take place in more exotic locales like New York (dead man on the street, wearing just one shoe), Montana (a publishing convention gone horribly wrong) and West Virginia (two whistle-blowers at a coal company found gruesomely murdered). Angela Lansbury sparkles with determination and bonhomie, hitting her stride and then some. Jessica's own life backstory is even filled out tantalizingly, especially in the episode "The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel," in which an investigation is launched into a mysterious cargo plane that is linked, she learns to her horror, to her late husband. The series' other delight is watching for cameos by stars of a certain age, and this season doesn't disappoint, with appearances by Roddy McDowall, Shelley Fabares, and Dinah Shore--but also some up-and-comers like Megan Mullally (proof positive that the Will & Grace whine was a put-on) and future satirist Bill Maher.

　　Season 3: 2001–2002
　　Cast: Rob Lowe, Stockard Channing, Dulé Hill, Allison Janney, Janel Moloney, Richard Schiff, John Spencer, Bradley Whitford and Martin Sheen
　　The third season, which covers the administration's third and fourth years in office, starts off with Bartlet announcing his intention to run for reelection and is heavily devoted to the upcoming presidential election. Other prominent plotlines include Congressional investigations into whether Bartlet committed electoral fraud by concealing his MS, a death threat against C.J. and the ensuing relationship she develops with a Secret Service agent assigned to her, the Qumari defense minister Abdul Shareef plotting terrorist attacks against the US, and a troubling meeting between Toby and the President that leaves Bartlet with a bout of insomnia in "Night Five." The season finale, "Posse Comitatus" closes several of these storylines as Bartlet meets his opponent in the elections and reaffirms his commitment to beat him. The episode ends with the president finally deciding to order Shareef's assassination (a legally questionable act) and C.J.'s agent's murder, just after the man threatening C.J. was caught.
　　From a critical perspective, series creator Aaron Sorkin acknowledged in October 2002 that the terrorism-related plots designed to keep the series relevant after the real-life 9/11 attacks were awkward at times, saying "from week to week, you felt like you were writing the show handcuffed, a little bit. I didn't know how to write it anymore. It was a constant search for what I wasn't doing that used to make the show work. [...] Maybe there was a way to make it work; there probably was. I wasn't able to find it in twenty-two episodes." [1] Nonetheless, the show went on to win its third "Outstanding Drama" Emmy in a row.
