Julian McMahon, Krista Allen, Elizabeth Berkley, and Alan Tudyk star in writer/director Charlie Loventhal's tale of lonely Los Angeles singles looking to meet that special someone at their friendly neighborhood grocery store. But romance doesn't blossom easy in the produce section, leaving these lovelorn urbanites to wonder why potential mates can't come with the same kind of "nutritional information" charts as their favorite foods. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

As Season 5 begins, Christian (Julian McMahon) joins Sean (Dylan Walsh) in Los Angeles, where they soon discover they're pretty small fish in a very big plastic-surgery pond. Needing exposure for the practice, they hire a publicist (Lauren Hutton), who finds them work as medical advisers for the prime-time soap opera "Hearts & Scalpels." It doesn't pan out for Christian, but the opposite holds true for Sean, who begins wielding a scalpel on-screen after the show's star (Bradley Cooper) is fired in a sex scandal. Sean also dates his costar (Paula Marshall) and meets another publicist, Colleen Rose (Sharon Gless), on the set. Colleen takes an intense interest in him, but Julia (Joely Richardson), who arrives in L.A. from New York, has lost interest in him. She's also involved with someone else -- a woman named Olivia Lord (Portia de Rossi). Olivia's promiscuous and duplicitous teen daughter Eden (AnnaLynne McCord) immediately dislikes Julia. Eden also has a brief fling with Sean and ends up in a threesome with Kimber (Kelly Carlson) and Kimber's old porn boss Ram Peters (John Schneider). Kimber has left Matt (John Hensley), but they share custody of their daughter. Meanwhile, Liz (Roma Maffia) follows Christian and Sean from Miami, but leaves McNamara/Troy after a falling out with Christian. Her replacement, adventurous Theodora "Teddy" Rowe (Katee Sackhoff), a recreational anesthesia user, has an affair with Sean. And Dawn Budge (Rosie O'Donnell) finds herself at McNamara/Troy after being bitten by an eagle while hang gliding. She becomes romantically involved with "Hearts & Scalpels" executive producer Freddy Prune (Oliver Platt). And then there's Christian, who has his own issues. He gets sexually reacquainted with Julia and Gina Russo (Jessalyn Gilsig), his adopted son Wilber's sex-addicted mother. Then he faces a health crisis. ~ Paul Droesch, All Movie Guide

He -- or is it she? -- slices, they stitch. He maims, they heal. Plastic surgeons Sean McNamara and Christian Troy have vowed to make whole the victims of the elusive, mysterious serial slasher called the Carver. But mending the rifts in their own families and careers will require much more than their famed technical skills. Dylan Walsh and Julian McMahon return for a sensational Season 3 filled with eroticism, suspense and medical challenges ranging from a daring facial transplant to a 650-pound woman whose skin has fused with her sofa. There's a new doctor on staff, too: Dr. Quentin Costa, a tango expert and perhaps an expert at dissecting the practice for his own ends. Plus: Julia launches a new career, troubled Matt falls in with skinheads and the Carver turns out to be.... Sorry, our lips are sealed. Watch and find out.

The owners of Miami's trendy McNamara-Troy cosmetic surgery clinic face multiple midlife (and other) crises as the FX comedy drama series Nip/Tuck enters its second season. Now that they have both reached the age of 40, longtime business partners Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) must make some crucial decisions that will affect their future lives, to say nothing of their professional futures as expert surgical face-lifters. For Sean, the big four-oh means that he will no longer allow himself to be bullied and cowed by his demanding wife Julia (Joely Richardson) and his insolent teenage son Matt (John Hensley) -- at least not as much as he used to be. One aspect of Sean's newer, bolder outlook on life is his brief romantic fling with a self-reliant blind woman, played by guest star Rebecca Gayheart.
As for Christian, he remains as avaricious as ever when it comes to money and creature comforts, but he is also beginning to exhibit a hitherto well-hidden streak of responsibility, as manifested in his desire to adopt the son of his girlfriend Gina (Jessalyn Gilsig). Major developments this season include the revelation of a devastating secret about Sean's son Matt, one that not only threatens to destroy his marriage, but also to permanently split up the firm of McNamara-Troy. Also, Sean invites New Age life coach Ava Moore (Famke Janssen) into his home to help deal with the personal travails of his wife Julia, only to stand by in shock and awe as Ava inaugurates a romance with Matt. Figuring into this delicate situation is Ava's own son Adrian (Seth Gabel), who has some serious issues of his own. And weaving throughout the proceedings is an elusive serial rapist known only as The Carver, who disfigures the faces of his victims -- and who is willing to slash up both women and men, as both Sean and Christian discover to their horror. Among the more fascinating clients passing through the doors of McNamara-Troy during season two are Julia's mother, played by Joely Richardson's real-life mom Vanessa Redgrave; Jill Clayburgh as a dissatisfied customer who is willing to make a public spectacle of herself to ruin Sean and Chris; Lori and Reba Schappell as a pair of conjoined twins who wish to be separated; and in the season finale, Joan Rivers as herself, insisting upon having her multitudinous face lifts "revoked" for the sake of her grandson! ~ All Movie Guide

Piper and Leo's baby has been born, and has been brought back to the manor. Although Piper (Holly Marie Combs) is the mother, the maternal bug has bitten her sisters, Phoebe (Holly Marie Combs), who talks about nothing other than the baby, and Paige (Rose McGowan), who has become fiercely overprotective. It is in fact Paige who pursues two demons bent upon stealing the baby's powers to an unholy marketplace -- where she becomes a new "magic source" which all the demons hope to bleed dry. Elsewhere, Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) is both frightened and terrified by her new boss, Jason Dean (Eric Dane); and while the Charmed Ones bicker over a choice of names for the baby, the infant himself proves to be a constant source of amazement. ~ All Movie Guide

Beset by domestic problems, Piper (Holly Marie Combs) finds herself unable to control her magical powers. In an effort to help her sister, Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) consults a marriage counselor -- but when the counseling session proves to be too slow and laborious for Piper, she impulsively casts a spell to speed up the proceedings. The result: Phoebe and Paige (Rose McGowan) are hurtled back in time, where they are forced to experience all the memories, both good and bad, of Piper and her husband, Leo (Brian Krause) -- enabling the series' producers to superimpose new footage upon clips from previous episodes! Complications ensue when a malevolent warlock hitches a ride on Phoebe and Paige's foray into the past. ~ All Movie Guide

In this appropriately titled 100th episode of Charmed, the semi-demonic Cole (Julian McMahon) realizes that he will never be able to win back the love of Phoebe (Holly Marie Combs) so long as he is opposed by her half sister, Paige (Rose McGowan). To remedy this situation, Cole links up with the Avatars to make a journey into the past, where he can establish an alternate reality in which Paige never makes the acquaintance of Phoebe and Piper (Holly Marie Combs), and thus never becomes a "Charmed One." The plot thickens when the demons of the past rear their ugly heads, and when Paige suddenly finds herself able to penetrate Cole's alternate reality thanks to a bad cold! ~ All Movie Guide

Henry Gibson guest stars as the Sandman (yes, that Sandman!), who asks Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) to protect him from a Tracer Demon (Darin Heames) bent upon destroying all the dreams in the world. In the process of helping the Sandman, Phoebe is galvanized when one of her worst nightmares suddenly springs to life. Seeing this, the demon decides to use a terrifying array of nightmares (including the requisite chainsaw-wielding maniacs and scary clowns!) to destroy the Charmed Ones. Things take a Freudian turn when the girls realize that the only way to save themselves is to figure out the real meanings of their horrible dreams. ~ All Movie Guide

In trying to figure out the extent of baby Wyatt's powers -- and, eventually, to take over those powers herself -- the Crone (Grace Zabriskie) imposes the Curse of the Monkey Totem on the Charmed Ones. As a result, each girl loses one of her senses: Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) is deaf ("Hear no evil"), Piper (Holly Marie Combs) is blind ("See no evil"), and Paige (Rose McGowan) is mute ("Speak no evil"). In addition to compounding the girls' domestic, professional, and personal problems, their afflictions also leave little Wyatt defenseless -- or so it seems. Despite being unable to speak throughout most of the episode, Paige manages to belt out a rendition of Peggy Lee's "Fever." ~ All Movie Guide

In the first half of Charmed's fifth-season finale (originally telecast as a single two-hour episode), the mythical Titans are released from their eternal prison, whereupon they wipe out all the Whitelighter Elders -- leaving only Leo (Brian Krause) in charge. While Leo is thus occupied, a mysterious Whitelighter from the future is assigned as guardian angel for the Charmed Ones. Somehow, this results in the three girls being transformed into Greek goddesses: Piper (Holly Marie Combs) is the Goddess of Earth, Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) is the Goddess of Love, and Paige (Rose McGowan) is the Goddess of War! ~ All Movie Guide

The first season of F/X's Nip/Tuck finds doctors Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) enjoying success at McNamara-Troy, the plastic surgery practice they built after having gone through medical school and much of their young adult lives together. While Christian is perfectly happy making tremendous amounts of money and using his status to bed all the beautiful women Florida has to offer, Sean is desperate to take on pro bono cases. Though this eventually comes to fruition, the limitations in his personal life continue -- his relationship with his son, Matt (John Hensley), is strained, while his marriage to Julia (Joely Richardson) is mediocre at best; both he and Julia have seriously contemplated extramarital affairs. This season also marks the entrance of a ruthless Columbian drug lord, who at one point was blackmailing Sean and Christian into helping him transplant drugs into the U.S. via heroin-filled breast implants. Though he eventually is brought to justice, it makes life even more difficult for the surgeons. Luckily, the constant stream of patients into McNamara-Troy all have something to offer -- their outside flaws, whether real or merely a result of societal pressure, help Sean and Christian examine their own internal imperfections. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

Because she has been neglecting her magic to concentrate on her newspaper job, Phoebe (Holly Marie Combs) is slowly but surely losing her premonition skills. This problem intensifies when the Charmed Ones attempt to protect the last surviving member of a gypsy tribe from an evil entity determined to steal the gypsy's eyes. In other plot complications, Paige (Rose McGowan) is down in the dumps over being unemployed, and Piper (Holly Marie Combs) is upset that Leo (Brian Krause), worried that the girls' powers will be exposed to the world, refuses to let her see a doctor during the last stages of her pregnancy. ~ All Movie Guide

After envisioning the death of her new boyfriend, Miles (Ken Marino), Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) ends up repeatedly rescuing the poor fellow from certain doom. In so doing, Phoebe upsets the time-space continuum, unleashing the futuristic warlock Bacarra (Butch Klein) -- who in turn is under the control of the demonic "future" Cole (Julian McMahon). The "present" Cole balks when ordered by Bacarra to take Miles' life, even though his refusal will result in the deaths of Phoebe and Paige (Holly Marie Combs). Ultimately, the only "Charmed One" left standing is Piper (Holly Marie Combs), and it is she who must put time back in joint and save her sisters (not to mention the future world). ~ All Movie Guide
