Post Does anyone else find themselves...
not really warming up to the new programs this season?

My TV schedule currently consits of:

Mondays
How I Met Your Mother
Two and a Half Men
The New Adventures of Old Christine

Tuesdays
Dancing With the Stars (sometimes)
House
Veronica Mars
Law & Order: SVU

Wednesdays
Lost

Thursdays
Survivor
Ugly Betty
Grey's Anatomy

Sundays
The Amazing Race
Desperate Housewives

As you can see, the only new program is Ugly Betty. I watched the pilots for The Nine, Six Degrees, Brothers & Sisters, Studio 60, etc. but didn't keep/don't really plan on watching them.

Hmph.

I can't watch Studio 60 anymore. I just don't get it.

Jericho was a two ep fad for me.

I have voiced my opinion about how the new shows are disappointing this season. The worst of the bunch I saw was Nine, and Studio 60 granted there are still few new shows I havent watched. I guess the best of the bunch to me are Heroes and Dexter.

Jericho and Studio 60 are passable time wasters but I don't consider myself a fan. I'm looking forward to sampling 30 Rock this coming Wednesday.

If I had to cut my schedule down to just 2 shows right now it would be House and The Office. And maybe a certain half hour sitcom on monday nights that I won't admit to watching that costars Doogie Howser.

One thing I noticed was a lot of the new series this season are male oriented while the main big hits of the last few years have been shows that appealed a lot to women like Lost (which is not specifically a female show but is a lot more female friendly than say CSI), Grey's, Desperate Housewives. So it's no suprise to me that Ugly Betty is the main break out right now.

Seems to me half of the shows are appealing to mainly to women in general. Ugly Betsy, 6 Degrees, The Nine, Brothers & Sisters, The Class, Im guessing theres more

You know what they say, if the new shows aren't working for you, watch Boston Legal.

I watch Family Guy, American Dad, House, and Lost (though don't know how much longer I'll watch that show).

That's pretty much it. I catch Earl and The Office if I remember.

Yeah, I've heard a few people say that they're over it now.

I have Studio 60 on TiVo but I'm not really interested in watching it. But I liked the pilot, so it's mostly a matter of having missed one and stuff. I'm going to watch 30 Rock and 20 Good Years (Jeffrey Tambor!) Other than that, absolutely nothing new interests me.

I caught 20 Good Years twice on a flight over the pacific.

It's bad. Boston Commons bad.

I love Studio 60. Heroes is alright. You guys really should give Battlestar a chance, it'll give you something to watch on Fridays.

Here's my schedule:

Mondays:

Heroes
Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip
Weeds


Tuesdays:

Veronica Mars

Wednesdays:

Lost

Thursdays:

Grey's Anatomy
Ugly Betty
The Office


Fridays:

None

Saturdays:

None

Sundays:

Desperate Housewives
Brothers & Sisters


---

I saw the pilots for Jericho and Six Degrees as well. The former was solid, and a show I might be interested in checking out once it hits DVD. The latter is horrible despite the great cast and needs to be cancelled quickly
