After suffering the humiliation of being given the third degree by his girlfriend's father, one man now faces the even more embarrassing task of introducing his own mother and father in this star-studded sequel to the box-office smash Meet the Parents. After getting off on the wrong foot (to put it mildly) with his prospective in-laws, Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) has finally won the grudging approval of Jack and Dina Byrnes (Robert De Niro and Blythe Danner) to marry their daughter Pam (Teri Polo). But after clearing the first hurdle, now Greg has to face an even bigger challenge -- introducing the straight-laced Byrnes family to his folks, free-spirited sex therapist Roz (Barbra Streisand) and eccentrically open-minded Bernie, who blend with Pam's parents not quite as well as oil and water. Meet the Fockers was directed by Jay Roach, who handled the same chores for Meet the Parents. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Against his professional principles, Grissom (William L. Petersen) becomes personally involved in the plight of a wealthy Las Vegas family whose baby has apparently been kidnapped. Complicating matters, evidence is unearthed suggesting that certain family members were themselves involved in the child's disappearance. And, as if to confirm the real-life inspiration for this episode, even the baby's parents find themselves under suspicion. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Commander Chakotay (Robert Beltran) is unpleasantly surprised when Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) evinces a willingness to hand over important Voyager technology to the untrustworthy R'Kaal Collective. She explains that, after years of attempting to return to Earth, she no longer wants to endanger the lives of her crew, and thus sees no need to hold on to the precious technology. Though the Doctor (Robert Picardo) insists that, according to her last checkup, Janeway is still mentally sound, Chakotay begins to suspect that the Captain isn't quite "herself" -- and he's right! The highlight of this penultimate Star Trek: Voyager adventure is the Doctor's surprising gift for mimicry. "Renaissance Man" first aired on May 16, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Aimed at children, this epic fantasy adventure is set in the mythical and peaceful land of Aralon and centers on its king's courageous struggle to protect his people from the warlike Morlin people. To forever quell the violence and bloodshed, the desperate King Francis requests that the royal alchemist Aeschylus devise a means by which Francis could control time. In that way, he can become the master of the universe and decide exactly who shall live or die. But as is the way with fairy tales, things don't go exactly as planned when the raven-haired witch Karnissa gets involved. Meanwhile, a page falls in love with a princess and endeavors to win her love by proving that he is just as brave as his older brother, a famous knight. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
