‘RoboCop’ returns to factory settings with ‘Prime Directives’ (2001)

‘RoboCop’ redux (TV review): This four-episode miniseries abandons the saga’s directive to draw in kids, but unfortunately, that’s a rare high point.

Lightning strikes twice for Apatow with ‘Undeclared’ (2001-02)

‘Wonderfalls’ (2004) is a sad show that makes me happy

One-season wonders (TV review): Of course this would end up being a one-season wonder. But the Jaye-Eric romance and wise stuffed animals can’t be forgotten.
