I'm most looking forward to the return of the sopranos, but I'm definitely hooked on house and lost...

So far the only new series this season that's really grabbed my attention has been Prison Break. Fantastic characters and spot on pacing for a 1 hour show.

Alias. So many more shows that I'd love to watch, but I don't have the time.

"Lost" is the only show still on this fall that is of any interest to me. Very disappointed HBO dropped "Carnivale".

What's wrong with downloading public broadcast tv shows?

Nothing yet, but there's rumours of lawsuits. I find it better to stay on the safe side, at least in a public forum.

LOL, but wouldn't you want to watch TV more during the rainy season?

I wonder if the productions are exactly one year ahead or something?

I'm presently hooked on ROME, FAMILY GUY, and THE OFFICE ( U.S. version ) and I'm going to give MY NAME IS EARL a chance as the first episode had it's moments. Looking forward to THE SOPRANOS, DEADWOOD, AND hopefully CARNIVALE coming back. THE SIMPSONS has been disappointing so far.

EDIT: Just noticed EyeAmEye posted that Carnivale's been dropped. Bummer.

Let's see thus far: House M.D., Supernatural, Prison Break, and maybe Boston Legal when it starts.

I checked out E-Ring and didn't really care for the first episode. Too much political, chain of command stuff. It looks like the next episode looks the same, where they "go through alternate channels" to get something done. It is like a cross between Sum of All Fears and Behind Enemy Lines. Both were decent movies, but I don't think I want to see that every week.

I am bummed that Scrubs isn't on yet. I didn't like The Office and can not believe it got renewed.

I am going to check out Commander in Chief tomorrow.

I like NCIS even though it is a little far fetched.

Sunday -
"Cold Case" (CBS) - probably the best drama on regular broadcast TV, imo.
"Desparate Housewives" (ABC) - face it guys, we only watch this hoping for a nip-slip, or at least Eva Langoria in lingerie - otherwise it sucks.

Tuesday -
"Bones" (FOX) - surprisingly good, not as cookie-cutter as you'd expect.
"Boston Legal" (ABC) - premieres this week, but I love when Bill Shatner says "Denny Crane!". He & James Spader crack me up.

Wednesday -
"Lost" (ABC) - started off hot, and this week looks to be even hotter. hope they can keep it up.

Thursday -
"Alias" (ABC) - premieres this week also, but has to contend with a new day/timeslot, and stiff competition. we'll see how the baby has affected Sydney Bristow - my guess is that it won't be good, and this will be the last season, or at least for me.

Friday -
"Threshold (CBS) - so far, so good. And I love Carla Cugino.

Thank God for my VCR, as I am not home each night to watch these on their respective nights. It's great being able to fast-forward thru commercials later! I bet TiVo rocks!

I only have basic cable now, so I don't get the F/X channel any more - I used to love "Nip-Tuck" and "Rescue Me" - two superb shows that I'll have to rent on DVD when there latest seasons come out.

I am a big Monk fan, but it has an odd shooting schedule as it's in the offseason right now. I think they have 2 mini seasons within the year instead of 1 regular season. At any rate, I think this show should be on network television to reach a wider audience, and not on the Friday death slot.

Caught part of the season premiere of Nip/Tuck on FX and there was a scene involving 3 people (you guess what was happening) and Feist's cover of the Bee-Gees "Inside and Out" was playing. Good stuff.

Edit: I also caught this really terrible series premiere of a show called "Just Legal" on the WB (big surprise). It's sort of a lawyer version of Doogie Howser, MD with Crockett from Miami Vice and some kid. Awful. I guarantee it will be canceled within the first season.

Rome looked pretty good, how is it?? Is the CGI over-done??
