New TV Season

Well, the new TV season is almost here, and I am getting ready for my shows to return and to try some new shows. However, this season has very few new shows that look good to me. Last season I tried 21 of the new shows introduced. That was a lot.
This year, at the start of the season I am trying only 2 new shows, and then at med-season a couple of others.

I have many returning shows, some of which saw limited runs last season due to the writer's strike. Of the 21 I tried last season, there are 6 returning that I will watch this year, and one more mid-season. And then there are the rest of my older shows.

The new shows I will try right now are Fringe on Fox and Life On Mars on ABC. Fringe because JJ Abrams is running it and he usually brings terrific entertainment. And Life On Mars because of the concept and cast, and it has generally received good reviews. Mid-season I will also try Merlin and Dollhouse.

So, here is my schedule:
Monday: Two and a Half Men, Heroes, Chuck, Samantha Who (my show most likely to be dropped) and the Sarah Conner Chronicles (right behind Samantha Who if it does not pan out).

Tuesday: Without A Trace and Fringe

Wednesday: Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money and Lipstick Jungle

Thursday: My Name is Earl, The Office, 30 Rock, CSI and Life On Mars

Nothing Friday-Sunday.

Returning mid-season will be Scrubs, Medium and Reaper

My feeling is that some of these sophomore shows are not going to make it the whole way, as they only ran less than half a season last year. So my schedule will thin out a bit. I give each new show 3 episodes to make an impression, and then decide if it stays on my list.

I will be posting on all new and returning shows as they come up. Sarah Conner starts on Monday.
