Our DVR is looking kind of sparse these days, and we need to add some new shows this season.  I never got into shows like Boston Legal or Lost because I didn't watch them from the beginning, so I'll probably check out a few new shows this time to see if they're any good.  I haven't decided which ones yet, though.

Any of these look promising?  Any other new shows worth investigating?

Journeyman
Bionic Woman
Cane
Chuck
Back to You
The Big Bang Theory
Cavemen
Carpoolers

maybe Bionic Woman.

Chuck looks like it might be promising. Bionic woman maybe.

Two words why Back to You will suck: Patricia Heaton.

Bionic Woman. Journeyman kind of piqued my interest but it could easily suck donkey balls too.

my new favorite is bounty girls.    [sm_hump]

Chuck looks like it would be funny, based on the write-ups, but the commercials are beyond annoying.  Are geeks really that good-looking?

I like Kelsey Grammer, so I'll watch Back to You.  The commercials are funny at least!

I'll check out Bionic Woman, but I'm not sure - haven't heard much about it.

Pushing Daisies is supposed to be really good, but I missed the preview episodes over the summer.

Of course, I'm really just waiting for Heroes to start again.   [sm_eekdance]

heroes!

Regarding your spoiler:

Yeah, the commercials for Journeyman make it look interesting, but it looks like it could fall into the trap of dragging things out and raising a million questions, then getting canceled.

Exactly! 

Two words.      LOST.

You *fudge*ers will be thankin' me later.   


Seacrest:  Out!

 :nono:

Dude, I bet when that *fudge*er comes out on super high dolby blow ray Hd1065ip.  You'll be on board.

 ;) ;D

Oops, our DVR messed up and didn't record Journeyman last night.  Will try to watch online.

I saw Chuck, though.  It was ok, had some funny parts.  I'm not sure how long the premise will stay interesting, though, it seems pretty limited.

None of the new shows do it for me.  I'm more interested in

The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Family Guy, The Office, My Name is Earl, How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men, Dallas Cowboy's Cheerleaders [sm_naughty]

I don't mind Brothers and Sisters but my wife loves it.  I'll watch Caveman and Carpoolers though.  I could care less about hour long dramas. 

I found the premier of Boston Legal to be entirely meh. Lots of new faces, lots of missing faces, usually not a good sign. Alan Shore was entirely uninteresting, as was Denny Crane. It almost feels like they're both being pushed into the periphery. The addition of John Larroquette did absolutely nothing for me.

Jeopardy

Dancing with the Stars  [sm_shock]   ;D

who let this guy back in here ?  >:(
















 :D :D

Try and ban me lol  ;D

You are correct sir.

Unfortunately we have to wait until '08.

I've been busy the last two nights but it seems that Dancing with the Stars has dominated the viewing of the female contingent in my house.

ffeb 08.  and all of 16 episodes
then repeat in 09, and 10.
LOL

almost as bad as football season. if not worse.

Well at least I get 3 full years of suspense before a disappointing ending.

speaking of suspense (and not new shows) did you catch the season4 premiere of boston legal last night?  wow, the show looks like it will be totally redirecting itself after last years so-so pacing .  the dumped characters, new characters, and new relationships look like the show will really add some twists in this year. not to mention, denny had some of his sharpest lines since season 1.
 [sm_shock]

Well now I don't know what the *fudge* to think.   [sm_scratch] [sm_sad2]

hey, nobody is gonna agree on everything.  if there's one constant in kelly shows, it's change.  i think this change looks overall for the better.  and of course denny/alan were pushed aside a bit,  you gotta get the new faces introduced and running quickly.  denny and alan should be back to normal facetime in 1-2 weeks

Well, after several weeks, here's my status on new shows.

Like, still watching:
Journeyman
Big Bang Theory
Aliens in America

Still Recording, but falling behind on episodes, so might drop off:
Bionic Woman
Chuck
Big Break Mesquite
Big Shots

Recorded, but have yet to watch an episode:
Reaper

Watched and Rejected:
Back to You
Carpoolers

Never Checked Out:
Cane
Caveman

I have yet to find a fall viewing routine. I've fallen now 2 weeks behind on Heroes, 1 week behind on The Office, and haven't watched an episode of Boston Legal since week 1. I've entertained a couple of new shows. I liked Bionic Woman but for some reason just haven't followed it. Likewise Chuck.

I guess I'm just not much into TV right now.  :-\

I may unsubscribe Bionic Woman as well.  The woman they got to play the role just does nothing for me - I simply don't care about her character and find myself rooting for the 'older' model bionic woman.  I was as unimpressed with 'Back to You' as you were apparently.  K-Ville may get the unsubscribe next - just not that interesting for me.

I've only seen Chuck once and liked it, but I could see how it could become rather repetitive.  I'll continue to watch it for now.

Anything else new that people like?  I'm finding myself watching the same shows I watched last year for the most part - nothing new.

My wife and I stared at our TV during the first episode of Cavemen in silence.

We won't be returning.

I watch The Office but haven't seen much of anything else new. I watched one episode of Chuck. O.K. but I'm not sure of its long term staying power.

Looking forward to the new year: The Shield and Lost return.

Big Break Mesquite - that's it. 

I'll watch Heroes - season one on HD when I get all my gear.  Other than that just watching sports, Comedy Central and waiting for 24 in January. 

ooh forgot to add Daily Show and Colbert. Maybe not every night but they are on my list.

pushing daisies is almost weird enough to keep my interest for a couple of weeks.

Wow, 'Viva Laughlin' was already canceled.  I just started seeing commercials for it. (it did look bad, though)


CBS Cancels Jackman's 'Viva Laughlin'

Yeah, I like that one too.  Thanks to fellow golfhos for the suggestion.

Watching regularly:  The Office, My Name is Earl, Big Break, How I Met your Mother, Two and a Half Men, Brothers and Sisters (thanks to the Mrs), Ghosthunters, Family Guy

Liked, DVRd but falling behind watching:  Pushing Daisies, The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Tila Tequila ;) Carpoolers

Not watching anymore:  American Dad

Never watched:  Bionic Women, Chuck, Heroes, Big Bang Theory, Caveman, Boston Legal, Desperate Housewives, etc etc etc

Other than The Office and Heroes, I don't watch much network tv.  Have really enjoyed Dexter, Weeds, and Californication on Showtime this fall - along with Curb Your Enthusiasm on HBO.

We have pay-tv which has the showtime channel.
Only thing is that showtime, only has movies on it, not series etc.

Nobody but me watching Life?

Figures... :D

My wife watches a bunch of network shows. 

Outside of BB Mesquite, I only follow the shows on The Discovery Channel...all reality shows.   [sm_anon]
Everest Beyond the Limit
Lobster Wars
Deadliest Catch
Ice Road Truckers
Blue Planet
Mythbusters
Etc.

I love Mythbusters

crap tv junkie here


Monday
Heroes, WWE, MNF

Tuesday
House, SVU, Boston Legal

Wednesday
Pushing Daisies, Criminal Minds, CSI NY, Bionic Woman

Thursday
CSI Vegas, Grey's Anatomy, TNA Impact , Without a Trace

Friday
Numbers, Smackdown, catching up on the above when I can't watch it

What about Survivorman - I get sucked into that every time I flip by it.

I forgot about Mythbusters and House.  I like both of those shows and still watch them. 

I watched Heroes this week and was totally lost (but not in a LOST sort of way). I tried to watch BL but it was preempted for coverage of the wildfires in SoCal, so I watched Mean Streets on DVD and it wasn't nearly as good as I remember it being.
