What do you guys think of all the new shows and season premiers? Desprate House Wifes is looking as hot as ever.
I'm mostly watching my old favorites--the entire Law & Order series (as good as ever), The Simpsons (seems to be on an upswing over the past couple seasons, but still not as good as the mid-90's), and House (GREAT show, the title character is my hero). I've been watching E-Ring a bit, and IMHO it's just OK. An interesting watch but nothing earth-shaking. I wish I'd gotten into Lost previously, because it's looking better and better, but I'm so far behind now that I'm sure I'd never catch up. Guess I'll have to wait for the DVD release.
I've Tivoed several of those shows, but haven't gotten around to watching them yet.
Watching House, Lost, and Survivor, and that's it. I have 4 episodes of Battlestart Gallactica to catch up on as well.
House is one of my favorite shows. The main character cracks me up. I am a huge fan of The Simpsons, King of the Hill and American Dad. I have never missed a new episode of The Simpsons. Still upset that Matt Groening is ending the series. Maybe they could bring back Futurama like they did with Family Guy. Also on the subject of Family Guy I think that the new Family Guy is very watered down the older series. The older series comes off to me as being a lot funnier.
As far as new shows goes the main ones that have been keeping my attention are Threshold, Surface and E-Ring. I have a gut feeling that they may try to bring Rabb into the new E-Ring series. Threshold has Commander Data or Brent Spinner in it. The story line seems to have been written really well. I think it has some stggaying power. E-Ring is that fix for us JAG fans. Not sure where the series is going.
LOST is getting a bit out of hand. I'm not enjoying the other stuff they are throwing in.
The CSI's are starting to get old. And most of the other Police crime shows are all a spin off of CSI. Again, getting old. Bones, Crossing Jordan, etc. etc.
I think My name is Earl is the best show for the season.
Im not watching anything new, except the war at home is "OK", watched it once or twice.
I still TiVO my regulars:
Two and a Half Men
Alias
CSI
CSI: Miami
Battlestar Galactica
SG1
Stargate Atlantis
You mean you aren't watching "Commander-in-Chief"?Quote:

My Tivo is
Lost ( yes getting very stupid)
Over There (FX channel) Best freaking show I have seen in awhile. Highly recommend.
Nip Tuck ( FX Channel) Awesome.
Survivor ( still stupid but I watch anyways)
Monday night football. ( Im always on a dam train somewhere)
Shield (FX Channel) Reruns leading to new season in January.
Prison Break (fox channel) Not bad.
Rescue Me (FX Channel) Season just ended dammit.
Have I said yet that FX channel is the best channel ever :p
Dood i never even heard of those shows! Where the hell have I been?
I know, but I figure why watch that when I can have the real thing with Hillary in 2008. <suicide watch started> ;)Quote:

Must be a East coast thing.
I wanted Threshold and Underneath to be good but they blow. Battlestar is definetly our new favorite. Earl is good too.
The wife's got mewatching Smallville, which isn't too bad.
You need a "None of the above - TV sucks" button choice. :)
I watch Lost on Wednesday night and Survivor on Thursday night. That's it. All my other time is watching baseball, football, movies or playing WoW. :lol2:
Gave it a shot, and I'm not a fan. It's another case of Hollywood projecting negatively on (aka crapping all over) our military again. Idiotic tactics with no bearing on reality, rampant insubordination, drug use, women portrayed as idiots. The usual Vietnam cliches served.Quote:

Looking forward to the movie Jarhead. Hopefully they get it right.
That was absolutely my take on it as well.Quote:

Yeah Ab, that was my first impression after watching the trailer. However some of the reviews I've seen written seem to indicate that it's both pro and anti, so I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt until I see it. I can absolutely deal with a film that goes right down the center on issues like this.
If in fact it does.
Just as a side note. I had the pleasure of spending the weekend with the cadets at Norwich University in Vermont. The military college hosts a yearly Boy Sout camporee. The freshman cadets are responsible for running the entire event under the supervision of the upperclassmen. The do everything from escorting the boys around the campus, running the various events to helping haul our gear and setup our site.
After spending a weekend with these outstanding young people I'm happy to report that the military future of this country is in good hands.
I still watching reruns of the Courtship of eddie;s father.. :)
Another show that was cool was Wanted. It was on TNT during the summer. It was a pretty simple mindless action cop show. Worth checking out.
Yeah, it was. Sort of a Shield take off, but pretty decent anyways. I had a season pass for it on TiVO.Quote:
