I haven't seen Ugly Betty yet....but in this day of Immigration issues I don't know that Mexican stereotypes are the way to go But I still want to see the show for myself - I've just not had the chance and keep forgetting to record it.

Ugly Betty is equal opportunity on the stereotypes. I think it's hilarious. My boyfriend loves it too, but I'm not supposed to tell anyone... oops. I'm also not supposed to tell anyone that he gets cattier than I do about the clothes when I "force" him to watch Project Runway, and refused to change the channel during an all day marathon of What Not To Wear on Sunday.

Why isn't anyone watching Heroes? It's so flipping awesome and I want everyone to watch it. Like, now.

^ I was going to catch it this week, and that stupid storm happened & F'd everything up. I saw a tiny bit on my tiny 2" screen - where the professor's son was talking to "Jess".

Mine's the same way about Runway. He bitches about it, but plopped himself right in front of the TV with me yesterday to watch. Um, we have 2 other TVs he could have watched. Then, when I suggested we should get ready for bed soon, he said "aren't we going to watch the end?"

Mark & I are really into Heroes now. Love this show. I'm still having a hard time figuring out who's connected to who in what way & all that, but I can't wait to watch each week to put more pieces of the puzzle together.

I've also been able to see a few eps of Ugly Betty, which I really enjoy. Her nephew is priceless. The Halloween ep? "I'm Gene Kelly!" "Yeah, but remember, just tell people that you're a proud member of the U.S. Navy."

I've read Studio 60 will be canceled shortly. The show had its flaws, but I still enjoyed it.

^ I'd heard rumours to that effect. Sucks, because I think it's a fantastic show. I hate when they don't give shows a chance. I mean, if it's not working in that time slot, move it & see what happens. Just don't move it so often that we can't find it on the schedule.

The networks really don't allow shows to generate a following anymore. They pull shows after two episodes.

I really wanted to like this show. As a big West Wings fan and a fan of most of this cast I had high hopes. It hasn't lived up to the hype and for whatever reason hasn't made me look forward to it being on every week.

Me too. Anytime I've tuned in it's been just because it was on after Heroes. I think I actively seeked it out once- when Lauren Graham was going to be on. I was disappointed in it from the beginning. It just seemed so very self-important to me. I think that's okay when it's The West Wing and the plotline is about you know, avoiding World War III- not when it's about which unfunny sketch will make it to air.

Paula- glad you're watching Heroes. Does it not totally rule? Hiro is my favorite character on TV right now. I think I almost peed my pants on Monday night when Ando, in response to those guys questions about why they'd go to the bathroom together, said "That's how we roll."

^ I know! Too funny. I like Hiro too.

All the connections keep freaking me out - the guys playing poker with Hiro & Ando, then getting massacred, then we later find out it was Niki. I can barely keep it all straight.

Do you think Niki is bad/evil? I don't think she's one of the people who are going to save the cheerleader, do you?

I'm not sure yet.... I definitely think she's bad/evil in the sense that the actress drives me crazy and her storyline is by far my least favorite of them all. I do like the addition of DL- mainly because he is flipping HOT. I don't remember him being that hot when he was on Buffy. I think the kid, Micah, is the one with the hardcore powers that we just don't know about yet.

I like all the connections too- it's like Lost only not annoying. My favorite was Hiro meeting Nathan a couple of weeks ago in that diner. "Up up and awaaaay!" Have you seen all the episodes? If you missed a couple you should read the recaplets or the recaps at Television Without Pity.

Does anybody watch Criminal minds? Tonight here the first series ended and... did she die?

Anyway I like the series a lot, even if this final episode looked like a Seven+Silence of the lambs fest... hopefully they conceived it as an homage .

I did for a bit, but got sick of that know-it-all guy, nerdy one with the blondish hair.

I'm almost caught up with Heroes. That show is AWESOME. Although Milo's hair is starting to bug me. He's hot but it gets tiring watching him tuck his pretty hair behind his ear just to have it fall out again.

Dunno if anyone else watches, but they're moving Men In Trees to Thursdays at 10pm. Great idea to put it right after Grey's, but it makes my Thursdays even harder.

Heroes was awesome last night! So, the cheerleader's dad isn't evil. I don't think. But I'm not sure. And a new person with new powers. But now she's dead. But wait, let's teleport to the past & save her. So she won't die. Or will she?

Love.It.

Like, I don't get it- does Mohinder have powers? Or is that boy around and affecting his dreams? His dad's file that he found said something about the soccer ball boy and powers involving sleeping / dreams / REM cycles / whatever. I hope Mohinder doesn't have powers, because if he does his nickname is going to have to be Nap Man.

I can't wait to find out what happens with Hiro and this going back in the future thing. Why couldn't he just have gone back an hour and pulled her out of the diner? I wonder if this is when he figures out whatever he seems to know in the future, when he's talking to Peter in the subway, about time rifts.

Man, it's so cool.
