Brooklyn bad boy Rico Amonte was sliding into a life of crime. Then his policeman brother caught him in the act and hauled him off to Southern California to set him on the straight and narrow. Two years later, Rico's a graduate of the Los Angeles Sheriff's academy a Deputy Sheriff trainee about to hit the streets in a uniform and a badge.
L.A.'s streets are dangerous but Rico's seen worse in New York. He can handle that part of the job. But nothing has prepared him for the hazing he gets from his own department. His training officer, John Henry Barnes, is the meanest, toughest veteran on the force and he's determined to hammer Rico into a by-the-book officer of the law, or break him in the process.
This edgy, humorous, and very real take on the lives of rookie cops is based on the experience of Sheriff Paul Pietrantoni.

The neo-classical facade of 111 Gramercy Park looks down upon the streets of Manhattan. But within this grand residential building, the rooms and hallways are alive with high and low drama. And no one knows more about the secrets of its "upstairs" residents than the nannies and doormen "downstairs."
Ken and Cathy Wilton are a growing, picture-postcard family. Wealthy, worldly, and attractive, their estrangement has plunged them into a world of hurt and revenge. Turk Karnegian is a Wall Street raider who never learned the meaning of "enough." He has the money and power to destroy anyone who dares stand in his way even his own son. Likeable, easygoing Nick Granville is heir to a fortune, but you'd never know it by his blue jeans and workshirt; he's not the man to let his millions stand in the way of true love. And high above in the penthouse perches the unchallenged ruler of the roost Eleanor Granville, society doyen, toyer with lives, maker-breaker of dreams. Her secret is the most explosive of all.
Below stairs, the building hums. Outspoken social philosophers Gus and B.J. tend the leaky old pipes and chauffeur pets to their groomers. William, the all-seeing, all-knowing master of the foyer, defends the privacy of the residents and smoothes the kinks from their silky lives. Maddy, the nanny for anxious new parents Mimi and Jack Phillips, has a lot to learn about life. But she already guesses that the Karnegian's dazzling young nanny Brynn is not who she appears to be.
With an electrifying cast led by Frank Langella, 111 GRAMERCY PARK delivers high drama in the tradition of Dallas and Dynasty, with a distinctive new-millennium twist.

Executive Producer/Writer: John August
Director: Kim Manners
The untamed terrain is almost impossible to cross. The evergreen forests are dark and impenetrable. Rivers of ice creep down from granite mountains, creaking toward the sea. For weeks on end a dry sun burns, unblinking and relentless. Then a shroud of snow and darkness descends to mask the landscape in an inward winter. This is Alaska the end of the earth. The only people who come here to live are men and women driven to extremes.
The entire state of Alaska (nearly 600,000 square miles) is the jurisdiction of Lt. Ray Mathers, a loner and something of a local legend for his hunting-tracking skills. In a vast tundra, where stoplights don't exist and the speed limit is only a suggestion, Mathers can't remember the last time he wrote a parking ticket or pulled over a car for a burnt-out taillight. The homicides he tackles are as bizarre and unforgiving as the landscape. And the criminals he hunts are more unpredictable and dangerous than a wounded grizzly. In a landmass three times the size of the state of Massachusetts, Ray Mathers is the law.
Violent crimes aren't the only mysteries Mathers will have to tackle. His forensics wizard, Paul Vico, could have been chief medical examiner of a major sun-belt city. What binds him to the rocky vastness of Alaska? Why doesn't polished Assistant Attorney General Roger Prescott pull up stakes and pursue a lucrative career in the lower forty-eight? And, most curious of all, what event drove rising young prosecutor Alison Harper to abandon the great life in Washington, D.C. for a one-way ticket to the edge of the world? These are the people Ray Mathers works with. People he must depend on and learn to trust.
Set in the mysterious, twilight world of Insomnia, ALASKA is a procedural show unlike anything on television.

The Flannerys have fallen from grace. Once a San Francisco star attorney, Barrett Flannery now finds himself a recovering alcoholic with a second chance. For his family, the collapse of their cushy lifestyle means a super-size adjustment.
Instead of lunching at her club, wife Mary Margaret has taken a job as a sales clerk - and faces the humiliation of waiting on her former bridge partners and onetime friends. Her two young sons, Ryan and Pat, and unpredictable teenage daughter, Katie, are making the rocky transition from the most exclusive prep to public school. Their "new" house is a rundown, paint-peeling fixer-upper a few miles and an eternity away from the old neighborhood. It sometimes seems that the only thing they haven't lost is a sense of humor. Can they survive the trials of demotion from the privileged class?
For his part, Barrett has opened a law office in a strip mall and he's winning back his pride one case at a time. The kids are trying to make new friends and learning to beware all kinds of new temptations. And Mary Margaret will have to get used to Barrett's clients pitching in around the house to pay off their legal bills.

District Attorney David Franks is young, charismatic, ambitious with his eyes fixed firmly on the governor's office. A relentless careerist, he times all his best moves to break on the evening news. By contrast, David's idealistic, relentless, no-holds-barred chief investigator, Mark Camacho, is a throwback who lives for the law and won't stop short of the truth.
Colleagues one minute and opponents the next, David and Mark lead a group of remarkably true-to-life professionals and deeply flawed personalities in the pursuit of justice. The crimes they investigate and the suspects they break are headline-making career-builders. But self-interest, grudges, private vendettas, and illicit affairs simmer just below the polished public face of this District Attorney's Office.
Each week, THE D.A. captures the tension, vigor, and gritty in-fighting as imperfect people struggle for perfect justice. The ensemble cast is led by Steven Weber as David Franks. Accessible, relatable cases and unexpected outcomes create a gripping and unflinching portrait of a big-city legal system.

Strap on your weapon and try to survive another day on the streets. It's the same on both sides of the law. If you want to make it to the top, you've got to learn the ropes, outwit the competition, and take down your enemies.
Welcome to the war between the FBI and organized crime. One side enforces the law as the other breaks it, but brains, brawn, and intimidation are often the tools of both trades. The Richmond-based Malloy Crime Syndicate is run by Jonah Malloy, a charismatic but dangerous father figure. The Richmond FBI branch has its own dynamic leader in Special Agent-In-Charge Lisa Cohen. Like any business, they must justify operations and produce results while wrangling lieutenants who are as flawed as they are hard-working.
This fast-paced drama is a gritty look at a world that viewers have only imagined. These titanic organizations work side-by-side, completely aware of each other, but are unable and often unwilling to completely destroy the enemy that stands in their way.

Christine Ryder is smart and tough. Holly Flynn is brazen and outlandish. They've got the looks and confidence to have become almost anything. Lucky for us they chose careers as undercover cops.
Christine loves kicking butt. Holly lives by the rulebook. They didn't ask to be partnered in fact, it was their last choice. But after a million dollars in drugs disappeared while Christine was working a sting, Internal Affairs decided that she needed a minder.
Now that Christine and Holly are stuck with each other, somehow they have to make it work. As undercover narcs, they'll use their very different charms as passkeys to the mansions of Beverly Hills and Bel Air and the steamy after-hours parties from downtown to Malibu. But everywhere they go, they're only a misstep away from blowing their cover.
Buckle up for Christine and Holly. Like Lethal Weapon in mini-skirts, audiences will never know whether to smile or jump.

Riddle: How many lawyers does it take to do the right thing?
Answer: One, when he's a man of conscience and courage.
Privileged attorney Michael Brock has it all: $2000 suits, a Beemer, a great apartment, a paneled office in a high-powered Washington law firm. He's on cruise control along the high road to partnership, fortune, and a Platinum membership in the old boys' club. Then a shocking and unnecessary killing brings Michael face-to-face with his conscience.
What begins for Michael as a simple effort to right a wrong will become a life-changing passion. Once he realizes that his law firm is on the wrong side of decency, Michael throws in with a down-and-dirty legal clinic run by explosive, tenacious storefront lawyer Mordecai Green. All these men have in common is a passion for the law and a calling. Now Michael wants to up the ante... not just to comfort the afflicted as Mordecai has done, but to afflict the comfortable. His ties to his old firm will help them tangle with the big boys.

Texas at the dawn of the twentieth century. When men were men and women loved them anyway. The strong rule, a quick draw overrules, and even the Sheriff can be called out at high noon or any other hour of the day. Where an outlaw can become the law and have the full support of the townspeople. Welcome to El Paso.
It may be a century ago, but the people aren't that different from today. They work hard, try to raise families and cope with modern conveniences meant to make their lives easier. Electric lights. Motor cars. Crime is abhorred and hard work is rewarded here. So when handsome, charming rogue Ben Jones, owner of the local whorehouse, breaks up a drug ring run by the sheriff, the townspeople don't hesitate to give Ben the star. The job only adds to his stress and causes his ulcer to flair up. But if being sheriff means the tenderloin district continues to operate, so be it. Besides he's got a sister and two nieces to look out for. And in the old west, you never turn your back on family.
It's the old west seen through twentieth century eyes. Sure the living isn't easy, but there are many joys to be found. The pioneering townspeople are going to sleep a little easier at night, for there's a new sheriff in town.

Our nation is a target. Al-Qaeda and other deadly enemies are determined to destroy our way of life. An attack could come at any time, from anywhere around the globe.
Against this rising threat, the Homeland Security Agency has created a highly specialized, elite task force trained and equipped to counter anyone or anything that threatens our nation. The head of this super-secret team is Special Agent John Kilmer. He reports only to the President and has authority to call upon the technical skills, firepower, and specialist agents of the FBI, CIA and NSA.
Working with cutting-edge technology and vast stores of chutzpah this clandestine team fights the many faces of terror to keep America safe. The one wrinkle in Kilmer's dream-team is his ex-wife, Frankie. She's as beautiful as she is fearless and lethal. Together they've averted disasters of all kinds, except their marriage.
With stories ripped from headlines, THREAT MATRIX is a drama with a ticking clock in an arena as deep and complex as today's world.

The job only adds to his stress and causes his ulcer to flair up. But if being sheriff means the tenderloin district continues to operate, so be it. Besides he's got a sister and two nieces to look out for. And in the old west, you never turn your back on family.
It's the old west seen through twentieth century eyes. Sure the living isn't easy, but there are many joys to be found. The pioneering townspeople are going to sleep a little easier at night, for there's a new sheriff in town.

Our nation is a target. Al-Qaeda and other deadly enemies are determined to destroy our way of life. An attack could come at any time, from anywhere around the globe.
Against this rising threat, the Homeland Security Agency has created a highly specialized, elite task force trained and equipped to counter anyone or anything that threatens our nation. The head of this super-secret team is Special Agent John Kilmer. He reports only to the President and has authority to call upon the technical skills, firepower, and specialist agents of the FBI, CIA and NSA.
Working with cutting-edge technology and vast stores of chutzpah this clandestine team fights the many faces of terror to keep America safe. The one wrinkle in Kilmer's dream-team is his ex-wife, Frankie. She's as beautiful as she is fearless and lethal. Together they've averted disasters of all kinds, except their marriage.
With stories ripped from headlines, THREAT MATRIX is a drama with a ticking clock in an arena as deep and complex as today's world.
