The scene is San Francisco, where a diabolically crafty serial killer is preying on newlywed couples, killing the groom before the bride and then removing both wedding rings. Assigned to track down this maniac is homicide inspector Lindsay Boxer (Tracy Pollan), who, despite the usual quota of false clues and red herrings, seems more than prepared for the biggest challenge of her career. But Lindsay is not prepared for facing her own mortality: She has been diagnosed with a blood disease that nearly always proves fatal and may not live long enough to bring the honeymoon killer to justice. Based on a novel by James Patterson (as indicated by the film's "official" title), First to Die debuted February 23, 2003, on NBC. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Season one of Millennium begins as ex-FBI agent Frank Black (Lance Henriksen) moves from Washington, D.C., to the state of Washington -- specifically, his home town of Seattle. Gifted with the psychic power to "see" through the eyes of violent criminals and thereby anticipate their next moves, Frank uses this talent on behalf of the Millennium Group, an apparently benevolent organization dedicated to rooting out serial killers and preparing humankind for the possible Apocalypse; Millennium employee Peter Watts (Terry O'Quinn) serves as Frank's contact. Our hero also volunteers as a criminal profiler to help his friend Bob Bletcher (Bill Smitrovich), a Seattle homicide detective. Meanwhile, Frank's wife, Catherine (Megan Gallagher), counsels trauma patients and crime victims, while their daughter, Jordan (Brittany Tiplady), is just beginning to show signs that she has inherited her dad's psychic gift. Most of the crimes Frank helps to solve during season one are standard murders and other such "traditional" violent acts. But when his friend Bob is killed by a woman who may have been possessed by demons, Frank turns his attentions toward supernatural phenomena, dedicating himself to battling a "greater evil" than mere criminality. Also, Frank begins to get inklings that the Millennium Group is not all that it seems to be...and that he might end up battling the group as well. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Created by Chris Carter of X-Files fame, the Fox sci-fi crime thriller series Millennium starred Lance Henriksen as Frank Black, a former Washington, D.C.-based FBI agent who in the opening season returned to his native Seattle with wife Catherine (Megan Gallagher) and daughter Jordan (Brittany Tiplady). Gifted with a sixth sense enabling him to "see" through the eyes of dangerous criminals, thereby helping him keep one step ahead of those criminals in order to stop their reigns of terror, Frank utilized his talent on behalf of the Millennium Group, a secret organization purportedly dedicated to thwarting serial killers and also preparing humanity in case one of the various "end of the world" scenarios floating around turned out to be true. Frank also offered his services as a criminal profiler to his old friend Lt. Bob Bletcher (Bill Smitrovich), a Seattle homicide detective. Catherine provided indirect assistance to her husband in her capacity as a counselor to crime victims and trauma patients. During the series' first season, Frank dealt mainly with straightforward murder cases, but after the bizarre death of Bob Bletcher, he devoted more and more of his time to cases involving the supernatural. In these, he was occasionally aided by Millennium Group representative Peter Watts (Terry O'Quinn).

Later on, the pressures of their work led Frank and Catherine to separate, whereupon Frank and his daughter Jordan (who had apparently inherited vestiges of her dad's "gift") were left alone in their Seattle home. Replacing Bletcher as Frank's police liaison was Det. Bob Geibelhouse (Stephen James Lang), while Frank's new Millennium Group contact was Lara Means (Kristen Cloke). It gradually dawned on Frank that the Millennium Group was not as beneficent and altruistic as it first appeared, and in fact may have been using Frank's psychic talents as part of a campaign to take over the world. Things got curiouser and curiouser as the series progressed, culminating in an apocalyptic second-season finale in which a deadly virus was decimating the populace, killing Catherine and rendering Frank insane.

When Millennium was unexpectedly renewed for a third season, the producers hastily "re-invented" the events of season two, so that the virus was not nearly as all-consuming as it had been cracked up to be; also Frank had completely recovered from his mental breakdown (many of the horrific sights he and the audience had witnessed were written off as "delusions"), and had moved to the Washington, D.C., suburb of Falls Church, VA, with his daughter Jordan in tow. Despite having developed a deep mistrust for bureaucracy, Frank nonetheless utilized his psychic skills on behalf of the FBI, working with agents Andy MacLaren (Stephen E. Miller) and Emma Hollis (Klea Scott) as well as Barry Baldwin (Peter Outerbridge) of the Critical Incidents Response Group. All the while, Frank conducted a personal investigation of the Millennium Group, his suspicions having been confirmed that the organization was up to no good. First telecast October 25, 1996, Millennium officially ended its network run on May 21, 1999, though the series' "true" final episode was seen later as an entry on The X-Files. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In season one of HBO's Emmy award-winning series The Larry Sanders Show, audiences experienced the bizarre and often hilarious backstage antics of a late-night television talk show as rarely glimpsed by the outside world.
