4 ½ months ago my favorite series of the 2000s celebrated its 10th anniversary: "Life on Mars" from the UK, named the same as the title track song from the great and unfortunately already deceased David Bowie. "Life on Mars" has got a successor: The BBC-series...

Who doesn't know Star Wars? It will not be more than a few people, solely the currently ongoing almost unbelievable public campaign makes it almost impossible, to miss at least some information about it. I'm more a Star-Trek and Babylon-5 fan, however...

With "Starsky & Hutch" a high-quality and especially formative crime-series debuted on the day exactly 40 years ago on April 30th 1975. Although I have known the series created between 1975 and 1979 during my childhood & youth, so in the 1980s and 1990s,...
