I just finished watching the pilot episode of The Event. It was pretty good, I'll continue recording it.
I thought the first episode of Law and Order LA sucked doubt I'll watch it again.
Mike and Molly seems cute, it's nice to see something on TV besides the normal batch of super skinny people. Will have to see how long they can keep it at least semi-funny.
I'm also recording Nikita, but mainly for Maggie Q.
There's nothing new this season that has really grabbed me to the point that I feel like I can't miss an episode.
Big Bang Theory has been pretty good. And I will continue to record Fringe.
Checked out No Ordinary Family. Wasnt awful, wasnt great, has potential.
My friend got me watching Big Bang Theory and I watched the first 3 seasons via Netflix over the last month. Missed the season premier though, whats up with CBS refusing to put it online?
Im continuing to watch Chuck, and the first 2 episodes back have made up for last season.
Continuing with Glee, The Office, House, SNL and of course The Daily Show
Things relegated to Hulu- Hell's Kitchen, Survivor, Fox's sunday night block
Does anyone know if Archer is coming back for a second season?
I've been watching all my daily show / colbert report / top gear online...
People who don't use TV to watch their shows are still in the minority. Now people who don't time shift at least some of their programs are in the minority.
That being said Law and Order UK starts tonight on BBC America.
I happened to flip across Chuck last week on tv. Halfway into it.. went to commercial and I remembered why I wait to watch them on hulu. 9minutes of commercials per 30minutes of airtime is a crime against my time.
Also watch more shows now, before there was a few I'd really be into that I would make a note to remember what day it was on.
Now I watch, Chuck, Community, Castle, Fringe, Louie, Modern Family, Cougar Town, Big Bang Theory, Clone Wars, Sons of Anarchy, SGU, Warehouse 13, 30 Rock, Burn Notice, Daily Show, Colbert.
Seasons of Breaking Bad and the IT crowd I need to get to yet.

Id also like to mention How I Met Your Mother. One of our local stations started to air it in syndication and Ive been DVRing it and its really good. Im not watching new episodes because Im seasons back, but still its a good show.
The Glades is also a good newer show but I guess it was a summer season show as the ast episode was last night...10 pm Sunday night on A&E. Watch it on the A&E site.
Hawiaii Five-O is really good <I think>
The inner Machinations of my mind are an Enigma - Patrick Star
A steel fist in a Velvet glove, the force is there but it's concealed just below the surface.
Raising Hope...very funny I think...I just rewatched both shows...VERY FUNNY!!
I watched the Outsourced movie a couple years back. The TV show is identical thing (same writers, pretty much same screenplay, slightly worse actors, though) - first episode even had same gags as the movie.
Maybe I can enjoy it in later episodes when it starts to have new jokes.
I wont watch outsourced on principal, who knew I had it.
Opening up wmc says I'm currently watching the following shows, Bolded are my current favorites
Sunday
Simpsons, Family Guy, Clevland show
Monday Chuck, House, Lonestar, The event, Chase, and Castle
Castle Is probably my favorite show, followed by chuck. I'm almost getting tired of house finally, I think its just about run its course on what it can do, unless they throw him into a whole new situation with new characters. If chase doesnt improve by this next episode with the con from prison break which I like then I'll probably drop it.
Tuesday
No Ordinary Family, Running Wilde
I have hopes for No ordinary family and hope its second episode is better
Wednesday
Under Covers
Thursday Bones, Fringe, Nikita
Fringe seems to get better every season so it must be on its way out, Bones is like house I was hoping for lots of things to change and they didnt, but its still ok to watch
Friday Smallville
If I dont see clark in a cape for at least 2 episodes I will be disappointed, and I cried seeing his red leather jacket, really?
No pleasure, no rapture, no exquisite sin greater... than central air. -Dogma
Don't really watch any of it live, but the stuff I DVR and catch up on whenever I have time (generally in big spurts every few weeks):
- How I Met Your Mother (if I watch anything live, its this one)
- House
- Castle
- Modern Family
- Community
- 30 Rock
- Eureka (does this count? Its already on hiatus)
- Dexter
- Doctor Who (S5 is long over, but there's a Christmas special coming and S6 I believe starts early in '11).
- iCarly (Started watching a bunch of kids shows for work and ended up actually really liking this one. It actually makes me laugh more than Community and 30 Rock combined. I have no idea why. Don't judge me. :P)
Is Chuck worth watching again? I watched the first two seasons and a few episodes into season three. I started off loving it but ended up where literally everybody (Chuck especially) who wasn't Adam Baldwin got on my nerves so much I quit watching. Too much whining by Chuck and too many obnoxious supporting characters.

I tried watching two episodes of 'The Middle' but.... dear god those characters need to die in-universe. Which is truly amazing as they appear too inept at day-to-day life in their own fictional setting to survive a day without somehow having everything go terribly wrong and killing everyone around them. There's a point in farce when you no longer care about the characters because no matter what they WILL choose the comedic/conflict option even if they have prior experiences or current information not to do so.
The two episodes I saw of Modern Family averted that nicely. This may just be a random happening in the two shows I watched (and the rest of it garbage) but I really thought they got it 'right'. They screw up, but many times it's by taking what appears to be a reasonable option (even the unreasonable options seemed to be grounded in what the characters would actually do) and simply not knowing the variables involved causes a conflict, which they attempt to learn from.
Supernatural - My fav show on right now. Big changes this year; I'm curious to see where they're going to take it after the apocalyptic goings-on of last season. This is supposed to be the final season, but after five incredible years (well...four...the first year was just "pretty good"), they've got a lot to live up to, particularly that perfect ending from last year.
Castle - It's a trifle, but a damned entertaining one. Nathan Fillion needs more work. He's always so damn much fun to watch. Also, Stana Katic is hot and awesome.
Family Guy, American Dad - The Seth McFarlane shows have been getting increasingly experimental, which I fully support. And I've a newfound appreciation for American Dad. I still catch up on The Cleveland Show occasionally, but it's the most forgettable of the three.
The Simpsons - Loyalty, at this point, is the only reason I'm still here. Their over-reliance on gimmicky guest stars of no consequence (why, hello there Mark Zuckerberg and Flight of the Concords) and generally tired storylines have sapped much of the humor from the once-brilliant show.
Sanctuary - I...guess I'll pick it back up. It's never been must-see TV, but it's an entertaining enough diversion. And it generally became a better League of Extraordinary Gentlemen than the movie of the same name. *shrug*
True Blood, Futurama, and Warehouse 13 are all off-season right now.
They didn't really make me, but I run the Free Realms team now and when I took over I made a point to watch a lot of the shows we advertise during. I'd seen it a few times before randomly but didn't really get into it until then. Haha, now I've seen every episode.
We're catching up on Season 4 of 30 Rock now, it just came out on Netflix streaming, may even be able to catch up and start watching Season 5 On Demand up to the point where we can DVR the first-run show.
Boardwalk Empire is our new Sunday show.
My brother highly recommends How I Met Your Mother, and some of our friends love Big Bang Theory, so these may be two other series we start watching more regularly.
World of Warcraft: Delissandra - Blood Elf Rogue (retired) - Feathermoon
EverQuest: Delissandra Splitshadow - 75 Rogue (retired) - The Rathe
City of Heroes: Splitshadow - Scrapper (retired) - Victory
My TV is normally a medium for delivering HD sports to me, but I still do watch a couple shows. I watch the 3 CSIs, and the 2 NCIS shows. Mostly because they are all found on-demand.

I had seen the promos for this a long time ago, but only recently caught the day long marathon on TNT a week or so ago. I'm definitely hooked now. It's just like Angel/Buffy/all those shows...but is one notch above them in coolness and character, and acting, and one notch lower on the cheesy humor and need to have mass appeal.
I'm going to be watching The Walking Dead pretty regularly, and Breaking Bad when it returns.
Venture Bros. The storylines and writing are getting deeper and the show overall isn't suffering for it.
Metalocalypse. I dunno, the last few episodes after the premiere really didn't do it for me. The inter-band conflict arcs were funny the first time, but now I'm just getting bored and annoyed whenever Murderface and Toki team up to be whiny and needy. More about the Metalocalypse prease, and Deathklok being awesome. Less about yelling at each other and threatening to kick each other out of the band.
Tosh.0. Is my guilty pleasure. I guess I could just surf youtube and read comments in my head in Daniel Tosh's voice, but it would be slightly less funny.

Yeah, I forgot about Modern Family. I watch it on Hulu on lunch breaks.
It really grew on me over the course of last season. It's pretty clever and funny.

This. This and House are the only shows I watch regularly. He is the PERFECT comedian for that type of show. I laugh hysterically from beginning to end. Its WAY better than that show Web Soup. I watched it once and it was TERRIBLE. I just don't find Chris Hartwick funny at all. Hell, he wasn't funny back in his hay-day when he was hosting Singled Out. Thank god for Jenny McCarthy making that show watchable otherwise he wouldn't have a career.
I wanted to go see his live tour but **** ticket brokers. The cheapest tickets I can get are over $100 each which is more than double the actual cost. Something really needs to be done about brokers cause every performance I want to see I'm paying out the ass cause I'm not ordering in the first five minutes the tix go on sale.
Monday: How I Met Your Mother (easily the best show every season, imo), Rules of Engagement (it's on right after HiMYM, and is decently amusing), Hawaii Five-0 (plays in the background, not terribly interested)
Tuesday: Glee (hit or miss show, but I raid on Tuesday anyway so I'm not paying too much attention anyway)
Wednesday: Mythbusters, once the new season starts
Friday:
Human Target (Think it starts back this week)
Doesn't start back up till November because...

Monday
Lonestar
...that goes canceled after only two episodes. Seriously, I think Fox would cancel stuff before they've aired the pilot if they could. FFS, that god-awful Past Life show managed to get to a third episode before being taken off the air. This threw my **** outta whack since they pushed Human Target back and I didn't know it, my DVR ended up recording the rerun of House they put on in its place, thankfully it did record it since I had to go over an hour and a half to record The Good Guys.
Off the top of my head:
Monday:
House, Lie to Me (this got started early because of Lonestar)
The Event
Tuesday:
Glee (second best show on TV), Raising Hope, Running Wilde (maybe, I wasn't impressed by what Ive seen so far)
No Ordinary Family
Caprica
Wednesday:
ABC's comedy block, minus that new laugh track comedy
Mythbusters
Terriers
Thursday:
Bones, Fringe (best show on TV)
Always Sunny
Friday:
The Good Guys
Smallville (thank god they are gonna end this finally)
Sunday:
Fox's animation block
Master Tailor Toprem Spaztastic, level 75 Drizzlecaller of Karana. Member of Clan Ta Veren
I've started watching both The Event and Caprica. (Hooray for shows that appear on demand!!!)
Do those that watch either show have any thoughts on them yet? My chief complaint with The Event is the time jumping. There have been several times when I've just been totally lost as to whether I'm watching live or a flashback. I don't really have any major complaints about Caprica... yet. But if we don't start seeing cylons (or their precursors, whatever...), and seeing them soon, I'm going to go from annoyed to no longer watching the show.
My wife and I DVRed the pilot of The Event. We watched it, we weren't impressed, and after a few weeks of unwatched episodes piled up in the DVR, we just deleted it completely.
Caprica, interesting but NOT by any means BSG. different type of show completely set in the BSG universe.
Undercover Boss, I consider this show to be homework as I am starting my own business. its pretty solid even though you see much of the same type of thing no matter what the episode is.
Stargate Universe, I came really really close to dropping this show during the first half of season 1. but things have improved enough to make it watchable. (I dont watch much tv at all)
Dexter, one of 2 must see shows
Breaking Bad, the other of 2 must see shows.
BBC Horizon, I stumbled across 80gigs of old horizon episodes dating back to the stone age and have been going through 1 or 4 a week depending on time.
that pretty much covers it, outside of Dexter and Breaking Bad I usually forget the shows are on then watch a few eps at a time here and there.
Life...is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that no one ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So, you're stuck with mostly undefinable whipped mint crap, mindlessly wolfed down when there's nothing else to eat while you're watching the game. Sure, once in a while you get a peanut butter cup or an English toffee but it's gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. In the end, you're left with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth shattering nuts, which if you are desperate enough to eat leaves nothing but an empty box of useless brown paper wrappers.-- Cancer Man.

iCarly is awesome. Out of all the crap non-animated shows my kids watch... this and Zeke and Luther are top notch.
Awesome that you're leading the FreeRealms team Glip! My oldest just bailed for Clone Wars though.
I have not been a TV watcher for a long time. Just recently started in again. I have too many kids so I have no time for other forms of entertainment. XD This summer I just started watching a lot.
