TV shows?

[skcin]

Anybody looking forward to any new shows this coming season?

How I Met Your Mother seems like a cute little comedy, I hope it's not crap.

I'd like to watch Bones, but Gilmore Girls is on at the same time so no dice. Tivo's not hooked up right so I can't watch one thing & record something different. We're dumb.

My Name is Earl is getting great reviews, but it looks so dumb to me. Plus, The Amazing Race is on, so forget it.

I'll probably watch Everybody Hates Chris. It's gotta be better than Joey, right?

I already missed the first ep of Reunion, but it seems so original I'll have to try to catch it.

I have NO desire to see any of the new law shows or supernatural/weird/alien shows. None of them. Blech

Returning shows I'm looking forward to: Medium, Gilmore Girls, 2&1/2 Men, Still Standing, Family Guy, Desparate Housewives, Amazing Race, Bernie Mac & Malcolm in the Middle.

This is the last season for Will & Grace.... i guess i'll watch anyway despite the last 2 seasons which were kinda stupid & the characters got on my nerves....

I'm not too keen on any of the new shows that are coming out. Just give me new episodes of Nip/Tuck, 24, and Family Guy please.

Hmmmmm, not many new shows look good to me.

Commander In Chief might be good, I'll watch that one because I like Geena Davis and it got good reviews.

I'll try Kitchen Confidential because I love Bradley Cooper.

How I Met Your Mother is supposed to be laugh out loud funny and got *great* reviews, so that might be a good one.

Other than that, I'll just watch the few shows I normally watch. Malcolm In the Middle, Medium (should be such a good season from what I've read), Alias (but if they kill off Michael Vartan, that's it for me), The Amazing Race, and Boston Legal (I read that David E. Kelley is going to be much more hands-on and that Mark Valley will be used much more, so I'm there).

I. Can't. Wait.

Pretty much everything on TV is rubbish, including the news.

I think that calls for one of these ---->

I just got the new issue of Entertainment Weekly that has Walsh, Richardson, and McMahon on the cover. <3 Apparently the identity of the Carver will be this year's season finale. Gah, I can't wait.

Depends on what news your watching. The nightly news, which I *never* watch, will surely be scary once Katie Couric takes over CBS.

That's more untrue than ever in the last couple of years.

I'm looking forward to Kitchen Confidential, but I don't think I'm watching anything else new. I have been watching Prison Break because of teh pretty that is Wentworth Miller. Holy schnike! Oh, and I'm sure I'll try Invasion, because I'll always give anything from Shaun Cassidy a chance.

I'm a whore for my returning shows. Alias, Arrested Development, Battlestar Galactica (although it started weeeeks ago), Boston Legal, CSI (original recipe only, thank you), Gilmore Girls, House, The OC, Veronica Mars. And 24 and Scrubs in January.

Paula, if you're half as excited as I am about GG tomorrow, then you're bouncing off the walls

Is it a good article? I haven't read it yet, but my heart skipped a beat when I saw the three of them on the cover when I got my mail. I hate how they're going to draw out the identity of The Carver, though. It drove me nuts when it took ten episodes for Sean to find out Matt wasn't his kid.

In any event, I'm watching season two over again and the deleted scenes on the DVDs are FANTASTIC.

OMG, I forgot about Scrubs as a midseason! Love it!

And did you read the title for tomorrow's GG ep? "New & improved Lorelai."

Phew...you are REALLY easily entertained then.

It's a good article, but very short. Basically just commentary on how over the top the show is and a Q&A with the three actors.

Oh, and there's going to be a new doctor who's bisexual and has a foursome with Christian.

Are you kidding? There's actually quality television now, you know. There are incredibly creative people who have come in with great ideas for shows, and craft them with more quality than 95% of the movies released nowadays. Arrested Development is by far the funniest, most inventive, well-written, and perfectly acted television show in history, as far as I'm concerned. Veronica Mars is a perfect example of an original spin on a relatively tired idea, elevated by perfect acting and the ability to truly sustain a mystery throughout a season. No one's done it as well as they have since the first season of Twin Peaks. Sure, I have my guilty pleasures, but shows like those two, and Battlestar Galactica, which is one of the best dramas to hit television in years, not to mention THE best sci-fi show, redeem television. And don't even get me started on Gilmore Girls.

I really hate the attitude that there's nothing good on TV. There's plenty of crap, but there are more quality shows on television now than there probably ever has been. I hate that holier-than-thou "TV SUCKS" attitude. Most music sucks too, and most movies suck. That doesn't mean that there aren't amazing films and amazing artists out there. Anyone who bitches about TV in a blanket statement-their credibility goes down in seconds to me.

Yep As long as I hear an emphatic "YES!" from my flannel-y boyfriend I'll be happy no matter what!!

yeah, I can't watch that much. But I'm not sure if it's because I'm impatient - lots of times I'd just rather read. Although lots of TV definitely does suck.
But - I'm looking forward to the Chris Rock show.
the rest are shows that are already on, not new. I don't have cable, though.
So...
The new America's Next Top Model starts on the 21st. Veronica Mars on the 28th. (I have class that night, sadly)
Boston Legal is on at 10, so that's convenient.
Grey's Anatomy.
Sunday Fox animation block, all.
mainly i'm stoked that South Park is going to start running on UPN every night at 11:30. - Even though I've seen all the first...4-5 seasons?
