The New Season Is Looking Good

So far I have to say I've been happy with what I'm seeing. I didn't really have high hopes about this season after hearing about the cancellation of Surface and Invasion as well as the Sci-fi Channel's decision to cancel Stargate next year. But with the premier of Heroes last night and last weeks premier of Jericho and the upcoming season openers for Smallville, Supernatural, Lost, Battlestar Galactica and Ghost Hunters, plus a slew of other non Sci-fi shows that I've developed a fondness for, this season looks to be shaping up just fine.

I only hope that this season they give these shows a chance. Surface was cancelled way before it's time and was probably one of the best new shows of last season. I'm guessing it's Monday night slot wasn't the best place for it, but a move to another time slot would have been a better solution than cancelling the show. Invasion was another good one that I don't feel got a fair shake. Just when it was starting to get really good, they go and pull the plug.

Unfortunately, if you want to catch all the good shows (well the ones I feel are worth something) you're gonna need a VCR or a DVR to record some of em. The choices of what to watch this season is for me, harder than ever. I'm sure as the season progresses we'll narrow down the field, but for right now, there is a lot that we like and it all seems to be on against one another.

Ron, I made sure I didn't spoil anything for you with Heroes, although I'm not sure how much I could have spoiled. There are so many storylines to keep up with that I'd have to type all night to tie all the threads together. Needless to say, it's a great show.

In case anyone is interested the following is a list of the shows that I consider worth watching (ordered by day but the shows themselves are in no particular order):

Mondays:
7th Heaven (glad to see they got renewed for another season. Kathy got me watching the show and now I can't stop LOL)
Heroes
The Class (so far I like it, we'll see how the season plays out)
How I Met Your Mother (one of the best sitcoms on TV)
Two and a Half Men (it may be that this show "Jumped The Shark" this seaons though)
CSI Miami (I actually prefer CSI Miami over the original CSI. CSI New York is one CSI too many)
Prison Break
Vanished

Tuesdays:
NCIS
The Unit
Smith
Eureka

Wednesdays:
Lost
Bones
Justice (I really like this one, and I'm not big on lawyer shows)
Kidnapped
Jericho (so far I love it. I hope people and the networks give it a chance)
Criminal Minds
Ghost Hunters (Sci-fi Channel - can't get enough of this one. Can't wait for this season's premier)

Thursdays:
Smallville
Supernatural
Survivor
CSI
Shark (another new lawyer show and I gotta say I like this one too)
ER (although I'm starting to get a little bored with ER, it too may have "Jumped the Shark")

Fridays:
Ghost Whisperer
Numbers
Stargate
Stargate Atlantis
Battlestar Galactica

Premium Channels:
Real Time with Bill Maher
The Wire (this season has started off so well and looks to be the best season yet)
Weeds
Deadwood
Entourage

This list is in no way complete and I'm sure I missing one or two shows that I watch but can't think of right now.
