Other...
I love me my Lifetime
Army Wives - been DVRing this season (2) haven't watched yet...

USA - anyone watching any of the USA originals? (Monk, Psych, In Plain Sight, Burn Notice) Never watched any of them...

TNT - started watching The Closer, 1st season, but I lost it when I moved and cable lag & a DVR box swap... it was good, but I never caught up. Saving Grace looked interesting, but I never caught it... Will be DVRing the new series, Raising the Bar, Labor Day at 10pm.

A&E - Been DVRing The Cleaner... haven't watched yet.

FX - Heard great things about The Shield, Damages, Nip/Tuck & It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia... opinions anyone?

HBO & the premiums...
I haven't been paying attention since The Sopranos ended... anything new starting? I don't get Showtime, is it worth it to pick up, if I switch to DirecTV?



Lost in the offseason...
-Scrubs will be missed, sorely.
-I am VERY upset about Moonlight
-Women's Murder Club realky won't be missed.
-Big Shots was cute, but not surprising it got the ax.
-Cashmere Mafia was better than Lipstick Jungle, but basically the same show & while fun, there's no need for two of them.

[Chris]

Show I am or will be loyal to.

Z-Rock on IFC - looks to be the Spinal Tap of faux-reality shows.

The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman - Laura Kightlinger is and has always been hilarious. I hope this show isn't cancelled...hasn't popped up on my Tivo in a few weeks.

The Office - nuff said

Flight Of The Conchords

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

The NEW 90210

Really looking forward to Little Britain USA on HBO

[MSBNYY]

I may test Life on Mars out. I watched all 16 episodes (and yes, that's all there were) of Life on Mars--the British version. I'm guessing the pilot will be identical, but the show will differ from then on (like The Office).

Looking forward to The Shield, Its Always Sunny, HOUSE, Law and Order SVU. Thats about all we watch. When does Breaking Bad come back?

Laura, you are just asking about The Shield now?? And Its Always Sunny is no secret these days either. I suggest buying Season 1 of each on DVD and starting from there - dont jump in now, especially on The Shield, as you wont know what the fuck is going on. Always Sunny is "always funny" but still, you have missed a lot.

[Ms. Jericho]

Eep, you forgot my most favorite. Supernatural.

[MSBNYY]

This week alone, I am happy for the premieres of 90210, Gossip Girl, and Prison Break. Woohooo Gossip Girl rules!!!!

[elliejay21]

OK, I am horrified to admit this, but, I'm with Balls!

It's the last season of The Shield, right? Dave & Jay have been watching it from the beginning & that is their man-bonding night, so I have opted out of jumping in. I figure when it ends, I'll buy Dave the entire series & we'll watch together at our leisure.

I actually have caught a few episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but never got that excited by it... reminds me a bit of Curb Your Enthusiasm... funny in a culty way, but not as much as all the hype. Maybe you need to watch it more regularly...

Honestly, I don't even know what channel FX is, which is probably why I never catch their shows on my own TV!

[Chris]

Smash Lab is another one I plan on checking out.

[King98er]

Prison Break was great last night!

Really? Does Dave know?

[MSBNYY]

I agree with Baloo. Prison Break went in a new direction, and it definitely is one that can sustain another year. Obviously you still have a lot of suspension of disbelief, but it's entertaining.
