May 28--The 2009-10 television season winds down this week, although a few series continue to air, most notably "Glee," which ends its season June 8. And there are many summer series premiering in the coming months, perhaps the most ever. We'll have a preview of these programs Sunday in the Post-Gazette's TV Week.
The Starz series "Spartacus" began as a CGI-blood-soaked mess but it improved as it moved through its first season and eventually became TV's most addictive, violent soap-for-guys since HBO's "Oz." Characterizations improved and plot turns surprised in this story of a gladiator and his manipulative masters, played in terrific turns by John Hannah and Lucy Lawless. The show's first season will be out on DVD Sept. 21.
