First of all, here’s a weird-ass reality check. By the time Lost and Battlestar Galactica start up again, I’m going to have a kid.
I’m actually kind of thankful that the writer’s strike has more or less decimated the slew of new shows that typically premiere in the fall because (a) it means shows like Pushing Daisies and Chuck are given a second chance, and (b) I’ve already got way too much on my plate this fall. To wit…
Sunday
The Simpsons and Family Guy. As it is, was and ever shall be.
Monday
It’ll be nice to come home from the first day of the work week to, like, five hours of new TV.
How I Met Your Mother
I was actually a little underwhelmed by the season finale, but I’m just as in love with this show now as when Dr. Wife and I plowed through Season One in a single weekend.
Prison Break
Has become a guilty pleasure. So far removed now from it’s original premise, but still fun.
Chuck
Loved Season One. Season Two looks even better.
Heroes
Everybody hated on Season Two, but I actually liked it. And Season Three, even according to those who didn’t like Season Two, looks promising.
This so doesn’t look good. I am so going to watch it.
And I’m just disinterested enough to skip the Terminator series.
Tuesday
Looks like too much of a straight-edge Psych rip for me to watch it without a shitload of good reviews.
House
Loved what they did with Season Four. Wondering how/if they’ll carry that into Season Five.
I’m actually not very psyched for this new J. J. Abrams entry. Maybe it’s the fact that he said it won’t be as complex as Alias or Lost. Maybe it’s the fact that Transformers writers are on board. But I’m definitely going to give it a shot.
Wednesday
Pushing Daisies
So glad this came back. Watch it now.
Thursday
Be warned. The early buzz on this is shitty. Just go watch the original BBC series.
CSI
Figured I’d drop this after Grissom left. And then they went and did this.
Smallville
Even Smallville fans seem to think it’s time to pack it in. Most of the talk at Comic-Con was about spinoffs. But I’m in until the bitter end.
The Office
Great as ever.
30 Rock
In some ways, my favorite show on TV.
Friday
I’m impressed that they’re going to take one book and turn it into a series. Still not going to watch, though.
Saturday
Hmmm. What’s in the Netflix queue?
