I'm bored so let's start a new topic. What's everyone watching and loving (or hating) this fall?
The new picks to my lineup (mostly courtesy of my fab RCN DVR) are:
Studio 60 (a little boring but I like it) Vanished (I love it!) Justice (really good too!) Friday Night Lights (I've known the guy who plays the new QB forever!) Kidnapped (meh, but I feel like I've already invested in it) Ugly Betty (it's cute, but may get the boot once the OC starts) 6 Degrees (it's ok and getting better) Brother and Sisters (I really like it!)
Plus the old regulars Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy and soon to be the OC.
Thoughts?

I do think I'm the only person alive who doesn't watch Project Runway. My mom and sister yelled at me! Next season, I promise. And a new season of American Idol starts in January!
Does anyone know how DVR and Tivo affect ratings? Because of them, I think more people are watching more tv, and obviously less commercials. Just curious.

I can't stand reality TV. It blows chunks. And I'm not sure how it's affecting ratings, but it is certainly causing problems for advertisers. From what I understand they've been pressuring TiVo and other DVD folks to remove FF buttons so you can't skip the commercials. But, all that would do is revive the VHS industry. Cause I know I'd kill my TiVo if I didn't have that blip button! They've also explored other TiVo programming options like having ads pop up on the screen when you are fast forwarding or "blipping" through the commercials. Again, I'd kill my TiVo if it did that...

New shows: Heroes - EXCELLENT show, although it has some slow pacing. it's basically like the Shaymalan movie "Unbreakable", but a little bit of "X-Men" thrown in. Lots of potential for the future plot, and the villian sounds pretty bad-ass. Studio 60 - Isn't bad... I usually watch it over MNF. Shark - Heard it's pretty good, I want to start watching that. The Nine - Didn't like it. 1st half hour was decent, 2nd half hour sucked. Future of show is like 2nd half.
Old shows: LOST!!! The Office Grey's

1. I love HEROES! My fav new show!
2. Brothers and Sisters - I love the youngest guy, Justin (Dave Annable)... he was on the canceled show, Reunion, that i loved last season.
3. Six Degrees - I like how they are showing how they are each connected, yet still pretty independent right now.
4. I've heard of Shark, but haven't been able to catch it? When is it on?
5. Grey's - I'm still trying to root for McVet... though she will end up with no one instead, and the sexual tension/relationship tension will continue with McDreamy.
6. Ugly Betty - Caught the first episode... cute, but could just have been a decent rip-off of Devil Wears Prada... was disappointed that the boss couldn't be a d.ick for more than one episode. I think the boss is a cutie.

I expected to love Studio 60 but I'm having a hard time getting into it. It seems so I dunno...self aggrandizing, I guess. Although I do love me some Matthew Perry. I'm mostly just sticking to my old tried and true standbys:
-Grey's -Project Runway -Veronica Mars -Gilmore Girls -America's Next Top Model -Laguna Beach (the guiltiest pleasure of them all, but Kyndra and Cami are so evil it's impossible not to laugh at them)
I have broken up with Scrubs, am grudgingly starting to like the Office, and plan on breaking up with the OC.

Well I DO like reality tv. Yes I know, it sucks and I am somewhat glad it's being phased out.
I forgot to record The Nine but I'm glad it wasn't any good. I remembered to record Heroes last night so I'll check it out this week since everyone only has great things to say about it (and I think NBC is showing everything else on its website). Shark is on at the same time as something else, which is why I didn't jump on that one. And McVet is definitely losing - he only had a couple of episodes on his contract. I agree that she won't end up with McDreamy though - what fun would that be if two central characters lived happily ever after? Ugly Betty is TOTALLY a DWP rip-off! Nowhere close to as good though.
Patrick, I agree - I will NOT be happy if I can't forward through the commercials. If that's the case, I bet Tivo will raise its prices but avoid the wrath of advertisers, while Comcast and RCN will screw us over.

Am I the only person alive who still watches Survivor? Le sigh...I must admit, I love my Survivor.
They voted out the Latino hottie last week. I shed a single tear for every muscle he left with.
And sadly it's the only show I watch regularly...damn you addictive online video games!!!
I do watch other random stuff here and there though...usually whatever my man has on at the moment.
