 AAW: Vampire Princess Miyu TV Series Review
Vampire Princess Miyu is a shoujo series at its heart, which means that the focus of the stories are as much on the emotional interaction of the characters as on blood, gore, and battles, though none of those are lacking.
Compared to your average monster-fighting TV series Miyu was something very different, but compared to the OAV version it was almost embarrassingly traditional, and too many of the battles just seemed to be there because the standard episode progression required it.
The TV version is a little older, and though she shares some of the same quiet confidence, tends to be quite reserved, contrasted with her more childish and lively classmates.

Unfortunately, the TV stations thought its attraction was the grumpies themselves (and their "outrageous" opinions).

 The Guardian | tv : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Subject: The Guardian, a freshman series that did pretty well in its initial run, and CBS is now rerunning it regularly, hoping to snare new viewers (like me) who were too busy watching other new shows the rest of the year.
The idea, as devised by series creator David Hollander, is to place Nick in two extremely different worlds, and have him encounter one moral quandary after another.
Not for nothing is this guardian named Fallin -- he's ''fallen'' from grace, but the show holds out the constant hope that he can regain a state of goodness, of purposeful purity.

 Pickup of Pittsburgh-set series excites 'The Guardian' creator
Series creator/executive producer David Hollander, a Mt. Lebanon native, said getting a series onto a network schedule is a rare opportunity.
Pittsburgh will have a continuing role in "The Guardian," with the expectation that cast and crew will descend on the city for a few days every quarter, the same way "ER" goes to Chicago.
Though it has a strong lead-in ("JAG") and lead-out ("Judging Amy"), "The Guardian" will be up against "Frasier" on NBC, the new Jason Alexander sitcom and "Spin City" on ABC and probably a new political thriller on Fox, which announces its schedule today.

During the first minutes of The Guardian's pilot, corporate attorney Nick Fallin (Simon Baker) pleads to a drug possession and gets three years probation, a $10,000 fine, and 1,500 hours of community service as a children's advocate.
Two months ago, Australian actor Simon Baker has had a distinguished TV career in Australia, where he received a prestigious Logie award for Most Popular New Talent in 1992 and was nominated by the Australian Film Institute for his starring role in 1999 TV miniseries Secret Man's Business.
The series is set in his native Pittsburgh, where his brother David Hollander runs a nonprofit firm that represents children, KidsVoice, his father Tom Hollander runs a law firm like the show's Fallin and Associates, and his grandfather was a steel worker.

Between the Guardian's snide taunts (delivered in a booming baritone provided by Ben Johnson) and his more overt attacks against his foe, he has proven to be one of the strongest personalities ever seen in the Ultima series' rich history.
The difference between the Guardian and the Avatar's other antagonists is twofold: The Guardian has managed to survive his encounters with the Avatar thus far, and unlike the others, he is omnipresent in the games in which he appears, posing a constant threat.
Rare is the villain that is as undeniably evil, as manipulative, and as persistent as the Guardian is. That his motivations and the extent of his powers remain a mystery makes this creature as bizarre as he is dangerous.

 TV series' visibility feather in city's hat
Though it's possible "The Guardian" and ABC's TV movie would film in Southwestern Pennsylvania regardless, the "West Wing" shoot was all the doing of the Pittsburgh Film Office.
Regular readers of this column know I prefer to leave politics to political writers, but with all the recent TV production to come our way, the time seems right to speak up on behalf of the Film Office, which runs out of funding at the end of the year.
That would be a shame for the behind-the-scenes people employed locally as film crews, for the region's national visibility and for locals who get an impromptu lesson in media literacy by participating or just watching filming occur.

He is the title character and star of CBS' Tuesday drama "The Guardian," playing Pittsburgh corporate lawyer Nick Fallin, a 30-something hotshot whose sentence for a cocaine conviction forces him to do community service as a legal advocate for children.
Being the star of any one-hour prime-time drama is a grueling job, but Baker also juggles a wife and three young children, including a son born last September.
He has lived in the United States for five years, and American audiences first may have noticed him (credited as Simon Baker Denny) as a luckless would-be actor in "L.A. Confidential." But the day-in, day-out grind of a TV series is quite a different challenge.
