美人鱼第一季

　　Season 3: 2001–2002
　　Cast: Rob Lowe, Stockard Channing, Dulé Hill, Allison Janney, Janel Moloney, Richard Schiff, John Spencer, Bradley Whitford and Martin Sheen
　　The third season, which covers the administration's third and fourth years in office, starts off with Bartlet announcing his intention to run for reelection and is heavily devoted to the upcoming presidential election. Other prominent plotlines include Congressional investigations into whether Bartlet committed electoral fraud by concealing his MS, a death threat against C.J. and the ensuing relationship she develops with a Secret Service agent assigned to her, the Qumari defense minister Abdul Shareef plotting terrorist attacks against the US, and a troubling meeting between Toby and the President that leaves Bartlet with a bout of insomnia in "Night Five." The season finale, "Posse Comitatus" closes several of these storylines as Bartlet meets his opponent in the elections and reaffirms his commitment to beat him. The episode ends with the president finally deciding to order Shareef's assassination (a legally questionable act) and C.J.'s agent's murder, just after the man threatening C.J. was caught.
　　From a critical perspective, series creator Aaron Sorkin acknowledged in October 2002 that the terrorism-related plots designed to keep the series relevant after the real-life 9/11 attacks were awkward at times, saying "from week to week, you felt like you were writing the show handcuffed, a little bit. I didn't know how to write it anymore. It was a constant search for what I wasn't doing that used to make the show work. [...] Maybe there was a way to make it work; there probably was. I wasn't able to find it in twenty-two episodes." [1] Nonetheless, the show went on to win its third "Outstanding Drama" Emmy in a row.

　　探讨生命题材的CBS单镜头喜剧《我的过去、现在与未来Me, Myself & I》通过描述一个人不同的生命历程来探讨生命的轨迹，有点《少年时代 Boyhood》电视剧版的感觉。该剧虽然描述50年跨度的人生，但是主要截取主角Alex Riley三个重要的人生阶段，在过去1991年的14岁少年时代，在现在2017年的40岁壮年时代，以及在未来2042年65岁的老年时代。《周六夜现场 Saturday Night Live》卡司Bobby Moynihan饰演40岁壮年时代的Alex﹑John Larroquette饰演65岁的主角﹑Jack Dylan Grazer则饰演少年时代的主角。
