And I'm officially swamped.
There's going to be so much good on Tuesday and Wednesday nights I'll need to buy two more veeceearrs, a dish, another teevee and reattach the aerial.
Dead Like Me, Eureka (which is thankfully ending soon), Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, Nip/Tuck, Boston Legal and Smith are all crowding in on each other Tuesday nights.
Then on Wednesdays I've got Bones, Lost, Criminal Minds, Justice, and the new season of South Park (which I'm not really looking forward to all that much unless the writing can improve quite a bit. Their skewering of Scientology -- twice! -- was just fun, but their skewering of Al Gore was seriously off the mark. The first rule of comic satire, boys, is that it be funny.
Mondays are OK. Prison Break, Heroes and Studio 60 run one after the other, and for the two episodes of The Closer scheduled in December, I'm sure one or all of them will be on hiatus.
Grey's Anatomy fits neatly between My Name is Earl/The Office and The Showbiz Show, if that does, in fact, return. It just takes a night I was watching very little and makes it another night when I'm glued to my set. It's a bummer for fans of CSI and Supernatural, maybe, if they're also fans of ER, but for me, I'm blissfully unattached to those shows. And there's a Grey's encore on Friday if it's all just too much.
And Fridays are not completely out of hand, but it's never even been a coin flip for me to choose between Jennifer Finnigan and Josh Duhamel. He's pretty, but she's prettier, and bunking with Christian Kane, so ... 'verse (although he was apparently killed off last season when I wasn't looking ). Fridays basically start at 9/8c with Close to Home and then Numbers. If SciFi starts showing S2 of Doctor Who at 8/7c, all the better.
Sunday nights. Hmmm ... Desperate Housewives or Family Guy .... 'Wives or some Guy ... hmmmm ... Sorry FOX.
What's nice is that with the death of The West Wing (and The 4400 and The Dead Zone on a 39-week hiatus), I'm not committed to more than an hour of programming on Sunday nights.
So .... plenty of time to catch up from Tuesday night's glut of good programming.
And with shows like Day Break, 24 and Medium yet in the midseason offing, this looks like one fantastic fall season.
