I really enjoyed this summers TV. Since you didn’t I guess I’ll form my own opinions about fall tv too.

I thought this summer was one of the best ever. Of the top of my head:
new show: Burn Notice, Damages,

Returning shows: 4400, dead zone, psych, eureka, monk

Burn offs – the nine, standoff, drive (some burnoffs were online only but I”m counting it)

Glenn,
Let’s get something straight� I never said the hot women bothered me, just commenting on Davis’ “real people” reference. Hell, make Alan Arkin a hot woman and now you’ve got a show! j/k.

Loved SportsNight too, and I’m not that into sports. Whenever I (begrudgingly) watch Desperate Houswives with my wife, all I can think about is “hey, that’s the woman from SN”

Studio 60 came back for a few episodes to close out the season before it was canceled for good.

And man, I loved SportsNight too. Do you remember the episode that ended with Casey saying, “You’re wearing my shirt.”? Best payoff line I think I’ve ever seen in a TV show.

Studio 360 was brought back? I thought it was dead. Somewhat deservedly really, even though I thought there were some good things about it (and even thought I l-o-v-e-d SportsNight).

Well, I watched both Journeyman and Life. I thought Journeyman was okay, and certainly the ending paid off. Have it set up as a season pass, we’ll see how it goes. That thing between his eyes when he furrows his brow really bugs me though. Dude, five minutes in the doctors office…

I like Life very much. No, the hot women didn’t really bother me. The character was interesting, certainly different from anything we’ve seen. I’ll be watching…

right, thats my point, i don’t give up on a show if i felt like the pilot wasn’t as good. example: the pilot of studio 60 wasn’t that great at all, but the next 3 episodes were good. in the end the show was canceled, then brought back due to popular demand. sorry, i wasn’t very clear the first time…

“pilots sucks a little in order to develop the plot”

Given a network (forget which) canceled a series after one episode two years ago, they may not have the luxury of time.

i thought Chuck was pretty funny. i’ve begun to accept the fact that pilots sucks a little in order to develop the plot. we’ll see what happens i guess…

I started watching Burn Notice for Bruce Campbell, but was surprised when I really connected with all of the characters. The whole show comes together perfectly. It’s too serious, but still not quite a comedy. My favorite part of the show is how much Sam loves beer. In almost ever scene, he’s trying to get a free one. If I ever run into Bruce Campbell in real life, I will offer to buy him a beer just in tribute.

I haven’t seen Dexter yet, but have purposefully avoided coverage because I know that I will love it. I’ve got it in my Netflix queue right now, but right now am trying to get caught up on Lost, so I can stay current this season. There are some shows that are better to take in weekly and some to get a big dose of all at once. I’ve got a feeling that Dexter will be the type of show that I’ll want to watch all weekend.
