Fall Season Check-In

Take two...

Okay so I am going to try this again. I remember mentioning in the original blog that others had posted blogs on the new shows or by networks, mine is by night.

Sunday:
Amazing Race 13
Cold Case
Brothers & Sisters (this one is sitting on the fence for me but has been steadily improving)
True Blood

Monday:
Chuck
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Big Bang Theory (on line viewing)
How I Met Your Mother (on line viewing)
Samantha Who (on line viewing)
Prison Break
My Own Worst Enemy
Gossip Girl (on line viewing)
Dancing with the Stars (the abbreviated version – I pop in during commercials and then read Vickie’s Blog the next day so I can be ready for when my Mom calls to talk about it.)
-- The loser on this night is Heroes – for me, it has become far more convoluted and I don’t enjoy the show anymore.

Tuesday:
90210
Privileged (one of the nicest surprises on the CW)
Fringe (a new favorite)

Wednesday: another way too busy evening
Bones
Pushing Daisies
Criminal Minds
CSI:NY
Sons of Anarchy (arguably the best new show this season)
I tried Gary Unmarried and it just didn’t hold my interest.

Thursday:
Ugly Betty
Supernatural
The Office (on line viewing)
CSI (on line viewing)
Life on Mars (I am struggling with this one despite Jason O’Mara being the lead)
The loser on this night was Eleventh Hour

Friday:
Crusoe
Life
Numb3rs
Starter Wife
The Ex-List started out fine, had Eric Winters in as a guest but it hasn’t grabbed hold of me so it is on the loser list.

Saturday night is spent doing something other then watching TV…like perhaps watching a movie! Yeah for Netflix :)

It happens every year the many of my favorites struggle to find audience. I was very happy to read that Terminator got a full season order; though mediocre in ratings, it's very popular with the advertisers and I suspect that is what save this show from the chopping block. I can only hope that my other favs such as Chuck and Pushing Daisies find similar white knights.

Private Practice (a little bit better than last season)

Friday:

I hope Chuck finds a white knight for sure!

I have actually cut down somewhat on my current season tv watching, although I've been watching a lot of my season dvds.

Monday: Chuck

Tuesday: NCIS

Wednesday: Bones,Criminal Minds, Friday Night Lights, CSI:NY if I feel like it

Thursday: Supernatural, sometimes Ugly Betty

Friday: Numb3rs, FNL if I missed it Wednesday

Saturday: Primeval

I tried Eleventh Hour for the premiere. The only thing I enjoyed about it was Marc Blucas, who was only guesting, so I gave up on that one quickly.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Dollhouse, especially with all the problems it has had. If Fringe lasts, I may go back and give it another try. I'm not sure I gave it a fair shake.

Monday:

Big Bang Theory
How I Met Your Mother
Samantha Who
Prison Break
My Own Worst Enemy
Gossip Girl
Heroes
One Tree Hill
I'm looking forward to Dollhouse.
See, Monday kicks my butt!

Tuesday:

Privileged (one of the nicest surprises on the CW) I agree!

Wednesday: another way too busy evening

Dirty Sexy Money

Thursday:
Ugly Betty
Supernatural
The Office
Earl
Kath & Kim (which I'm not liking very much at all but I really wanted to)
30 Rock (looking forward to it)
Smallville (when I have time)
Thursday kind of kicks my butt too!

Friday:

Saturday:

Now see, why can't they put some of my other stuff on other nights? It's like it's either all or nothing for me!
