Just for Snrub, I opted for Joey tonight instead of Everybody Hates Chris.

And while I remain generally unimpressed, I must say that it is clear the show has gotten better since its premiere. I did laugh out loud two or three times.

But still, just two or three.

Your move, Snrub!

Grey's Anatomy and Arrsted Devlopmnt coming up Monday night.

The finale of Weeds was definitely 'great' worthy, but I'd still peg the season at good. Maybe between good and great.

I know Two and a Half Men is better than the two episodes I've seen this season (from what I hear), but I still can't believe a show like it does so well while we've got brilliant stuff like The Office doing half of what Men does. Ugh.

I've seen a couple episodes of Out of Practice, and I don't really mind it. The cast is actually pretty good. The writing, though, is crap. How they convinced Henry Winkler to ditch Arrested Development (and bring Stockard Channing with him) for this is beyond me.

Weeds starts here soon. I'll probobly watch it. My kind of comedy.

The only show in america ive seen this year has been Alias; and well, you all know my feelings on it.

My seasons grading

SEASON 1: 4.5/5
SEASON 2: 5/5
SEASON 3: 3.8/5
SEASON 4: 4.1/5
SEASON 5: 4.6/5 [so far]

P.S - Is no one concerned by the "big picture" for Lost? I mean; how many people are going to just appear before the show runs out of people who they can relive and simply start reliving the lifes of the animals?

I heard it was originally to be a feature film - and I think that whilst it works very very well as a TV show that its going to exhaust the concept sometime soon. They can't pull out the show forever without frustrating the fans - but ending it would be ratings suicide.

Unless I really love a show, I don't watch it. (i.e. ... I'd rather be watching Home & Garden.) So the shows listed under "Frikkin' Awesome" are the shows that are my must see TV. Everything else on this list I can pretty much take or leave. By definition, all other TV shows, not listed below would be "Not So Much" to me. For the record, I sampled Everybody Hates Chris, Commander in Chief, Threshold and Ghost Whisperer.

Tonight's Lost was most definitely frikkin' awesome. I'll keep the season at a great, though.

Extras is still really good, though nothing has matched the premiere.

Wife Swap is just one of those 'watch because nothing else is on' shows, but you know, sometimes it can be pretty dynamic. Monday's episode was quite good.

I watched Freddie tonight thinking it'd be in automatic 'not so much' territory and then some, and although Freddie Prinze, Jr. sucks hard in it (least funny character), it's really now worse than, say, How I Met Your Mother.

Really? I thought the premiere was the low point for the six episodes (downloaded them when they aired on BBC in August). I think it progressively gets better. How far into the show is HBO now? I can't remember, because I don't follow it. Was this week's episode the Kate Winslet episode? I thought that was one of the funnier episodes.

I kind of miss Wife Swap, I haven't watched it at all this season because it conflicts with Arrested Development/How I Met Your Mother.

The Kate Winslet episode WAS the premiere for us Americans. Pay attention, X. Pay attention.

Hee. We're three episodes in so far, though. Kate Winslet was 1. The Ben Stiller one was 2. Vinnie Jones/Ross Kemp was 3.

Oh! Hehe. On BBC, the Ben Stiller episode was the premiere, followed by Vinnie Jones/Ross Kemp and Kate Winslet. I wish a network in Canada would air this, so I could tape all six episodes for my Dad to watch. I know he'd like this show.

I don't get what you mean....
Where are you in the series? Do you know that each character gets multiple background stories? Their backstories become an arc after a while (well, sort of...)

Forget it; Last nights Lost in the UK humped me silly and i lurve it now forever. Forget i even spoke of its end. Im just a bitter Alias bitch.

Okay, I've now seen two episodes of Arrested Development.

I can see why it's so highly regarded. I enjoyed the quirky tone, laughed out loud a few times (Bob Loblaw was an inspired creation), but for some reason... I'm not all that eager to watch anymore. It doesn't help that I can't stand Jason Bateman (some unresolved Teen Wolf Too issues, I think - bring back Michael J. Fox, damn it!).

I'll watch a couple more to see if it sticks, but for now, consider me... on the fence.

Snrub; ive watched Arrested Development once and it never really gripped me either.
I can see its appeal but i never really understood it .It dosen't go "the whole mile" in its intent like many of the darker britcoms.
But its good, no doubt.

I've tried watching AD about 3 times, I couldn't stand it. I just didn't find it funny at all, its the ugliest show on tv, it just didn't click to me. Maybe I should try again, but it might be a waste.

1. Lost
2. Veronica Mars
3. Alias
4. My Name is Earl/The Office
5. Prison Break
6. Arrested Development
7. Family Guy/American Dad
8. Curb Your Enthusiasm (and Extras, but I've seen them all already)
9. House/CSI
10. Desperate Housewives
11. Survivor: Guatemala

New grades for my faves. My Name is Earl moved up along with The Office.

Classifications...

Must-See TV:
Lost

Prison Break
Curb Your Enthusiasm

Great TV (that I sometimes miss):
Arrested Development (Hard to develop a large opinion on this or any show after 3 episodes.)
Family Guy
American Dad

Good TV I Still Watch, But Don't Feel Compelled To:
House
CSI

Out of Touch With It This Season:
Desperate Housewives
Survivor: Guatemala

Guilty Pleasure:
WWE Raw and Smackdown!

Shows I'll Catch Occasionally:
Everybody Hates Chris
Ghost Whisperer

Shows I Won't Be Watching:
Invasion
Bones

Try to seek out season one if possible.

I can understand finding the show a little inaccessible jumping in three seasons into the show's run. For a light comedy, it's surprisingly plot heavy and commonly alludes to previous happenings in the show.

Really, though, try to seek out the earlier episodes (at least the episode 'Justice is Blind' from season one, if anything).

Do it! Do it for us! (Us being the five people who watch the show, not counting the critics.)

The Colbert Report is no Daily Show, but I think it could definitely turn into something good if they keep it up.

I still haven't watched Thursday's Alias or yesterday's Housewives.
