Former child star Joey Lawrence billed himself as "Joseph" when he accepted the starring role in the WB sitcom Run of the House. With his parents having moved from their Grand Rapids, MI, home to a warmer climate "for their health," Kurt Franklin (Lawrence) was appointed surrogate father to his three younger siblings: restless 15-year-old Brooke (Margo Harshman), slacker dropout Chris (Kyle Howard), and boy-crazy Sally (Sasha Barrese). Forever snooping on the Franklin kids in Gladys Kravitz fashion, and eternally outraged by their basically harmless shenanigans, was next-door neighbor Mrs. Norris (Mo Gaffney). Run of the House debuted September 11, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

One man is forced to go back to the dangerous life he struggled to leave behind in this action-thriller. Dirk Longstreet (Oliver Gruner) is a man who learned to fight and fight well, and put that talent to use in the most punishing environment imaginable. Longstreet was lured into "the Circuit," a private (and illegal) fighting club where spectators will bet fortunes on no-holds-barred battles in which two men fight until they simply can't go on -- often until one of the fighters has died. Longstreet was one of the very few men who not only fought in the Circuit and lived to tell about it, but managed to move on and build a new life for himself. Longstreet joined the faculty of a college, where he enjoyed working with athletes, until he learned that his younger brother, Jeremy (Ilya Morelle), had been recruited to become the Circuit's newest fighter. Now Longstreet must step back into the ring in order to spare his brother the fate he was able to escape. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A young boy turns out to be Earth's last line of defense against an alien threat in this satiric sci-fi adventure. In the year 2007, an advanced alien civilization has learned how to manipulate human beings as part of a strange game called "Earth" that they play for their own amusement. The Chairman (Michael Dorn), leader of the alien tribes, has decided to up the ante and see if he can trick the people of Earth into destroying their own planet with nuclear weapons; as part of his scheme, the Chairman abducts a family and spirits them off to his planet, leaving their young son, Jesse (Jesse Cameron-Glickenhaus), behind by mistake. Jesse knows his parents have been stolen by aliens, and is certain they're up to no good, but he has a hard time convincing anyone of this except for Isaiah (Noriyuki "Pat" Morita), a local eccentric who lives in a shack on the outskirts of town. However, it turns out Jesse found just the right person: It seems Isaiah is actually an alien who has exiled himself to Earth rather than participate in the games, and he soon gives Jesse a crash course on who is being manipulated and how to fight back. Timemaster also features Joanna Pacula, Duncan Regehr, and wrestling commentators "Mean" Gene Okerlund, and Bobby "the Brain" Heenan. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
