The Gates: Welcome to Paradise-Not!
The teaser for the premiere of The Gates [ABC, Sundays, 19/9C] seems to be saying welcome to paradise: there’s a couple jogging; kids, carefully helmeted, riding bikes; a shot of a man mowing his lawn – taken from ground level, looking up through a sprinkler! It looks so perfect…

When Syfy’s four-hour event, The Phantom [Sunday, 7/6], airs this weekend, there will be some who hate it because of its deviation from the way the character has always been done. A female Guran?

TELEVISION: Unnatural History – Live-Action Adventure on an Animated Network!
Take the three lead characters from the Harry Potter, subtract their wizardly skills and stick them in National Treasure and the result would be very like The Cartoon Network’s first live-action adventure series, Unnatural History [Sundays, 8/7C] – and that’s not a bad thing!
