I don't see anything new I feel like jumping on board (unless you count Law and Order: Los Angeles which I will probably check out at some point - but it's a bit of a stretch to call it new.). I watched the first episode of Outlaw with Jimmy Smits. It was not the worst thing I have ever seen but I doubt I will watch it again.

I understand someone is bringing back Hawaii 5-0. Good luck with that.

I'm seeing titles which appear to be double entendres. Raising Hope? Running Wilde? I bet those titles don't just mean what they say on the surface. Why, I'll bet they actually have characters named Hope and Wilde. Can you imagine? Amazing.

Lone Star is the one thing that looked a bit intriguing in the ads. Maybe I'll tape it. I dunno.



I guess I'll keep watching House which has the season premier tonight. Other than that, I dunno. Hopefully there are new epsiodes of Family Guy and South Park upcoming.
 
I see so much I want to watch that I don't know which to start watching.

The Event

Looks really interesting and kinda "Lostish" I am hearing that there are twists and turns everywhere. Sounds like it could be really good or really bad.

Boardwalk Empire

watched last night and that thing is going to be amazing. It follows the HBO mold of awesome, with a little nudity. A couple of actors that are known and seasoned and some new faces that will soon be famous. Highly recommend it1
 
Watched Chase which was OK as good as those type of things go. Saw the last 15 minutes of The Event which looked pretty good and is hopefully not another FlashForward, I'll watch the full episode later. But if the plane that disappears ends up getting magically transported to a remote and mystical island then I'm never watching TV again.
 
I watched Lone Star. It was not badly done - somewhat intriguing.

There is a 50/50 chance I will watch episode 2.



I watched the season premier of House. My initial reaction to what appears to be the new major plot line: not loving it.
 
Half of these shows I've never even heard of. I'm so out of the pop culture loop these days, it's pathetic. I like House. That's about the only show I watch when I get a chance. Whatever happened to Entourage? Did it start sucking? I never hear about it anymore. Eastbound and Down is good and that Scorcese HBO show looks like it could be excellent.
 
New shows on the sched for today:

No Ordinary Family (a family with superpowers or some damn thing?)
Raising Hope
Running Wilde
Detroit 1-8-7 (never heard of ya pal)



I see Glee is on the listings for tonight. I think that's the season premier. My girlfriend was liking it more and more last season and I could see myself getting sucked into the Glee vortex.

A couple months back, I rented the most recent season of Entourage that came out on DVD. Season 6, I think ??? I wouldn't say it started sucking. It seemed like the same pleasantly mindless escapism it has always been.
