What shows are worth watching this season?
I like Medium, but many of my old favorites are gone. I won't watch the Donald or Martha's Apprentices. As much as I did not think Martha should have been convicted, I don't like her and I don't think it sets a good example for kids - be a convict and get 2 TV Shows.

I am taping Survivor and watching it some. I can't watch the main Law and Order, I see red when Freddie boy is on and I don't like Farina and the other new cop.

CSI and other crime scene investigation shows are getting old.

Surface (NBC) Mondays at 8 I watched, still unsure on that. Don't get WB here.

Most nights I have been going to bed by 10 if not before except for Mondays and Fridays.

Not interested in anything called Desparate Housewives, but what are you all watching this season? And why do you like it?

1. Here are some of mine
season has just started so others may build to my list...

Lost on Wednesdays at 9pm - great show because all the characters are well developed not two dimension props and the plot is great and flashback scenes are great and it just keeps you guessing. I really like it.

West Wing - I still like it even though Sorkin is gone and yada yada yada - however I did miss the season premier this Sunday because I was traveling and put in a DVD-R and not a DVD-RW :( Urrr

Lots of the shows I watched last season - Judging Amy and Jack and Bobby are gone which sucks. I started watching Gilmore Girls last year - the title sounded so fluffy that's why I never watched it before but I like it - has lots of good liberal overtones. And the new show with Geena Davis and Donald Sutherland I'm going to see about that show - sounds interesting and could be good or bad. Oh yeah and I liked Numbers last year but it was on late on Friday night not sure if it's getting another season and what day it will be on. I used to watch CSI and NCIS but not really super interested in those shows this season just yet.

Just my favorites and not so favorites!

2. I like Medium alot too...
Of the new stuff I enjoy "Threshold" on CBS, "Surface" on NBC, "E-Ring" on NBC was kinda cool, but I think it could become REAL sucky REAL fast..."Criminal Minds" on CBS was good in it's debut, but it moves opposite "E-Ring" in it's regular spot this week (Wednesday nights).

"West Wing" is still my favourite with or without Sorkin, but this season has to BRILLIANT in order for it to continue I think...

"CSI" is excellent as always, I don't watch the Miami or the N.Y. versions and haven't been a regular follower of Law and Order since Lenny left....

"Numbers" on friday night is cool, and I am looking forward to the premiere of "Without a Trace"....

That's what I can come up with off the top of my head...oh, "My Name is Earl" has it's moments but is patchy at best, and "The Office" is a pale imitator of the British original, and quite frankly isn't funny but awkward and embarrassing at times...

4. I have high hopes for Commander-in-Chief
I watched the pilot last night and was more moved than I would have imagined seeing Geena Davis take the oath of office.

5. I haven't watched regular tv in sometime
Most of my favorite shows are gone. However, I was intrigued by the premise for Lost so I watched it from the beginning and really got sucked in. I have also been a big fan of the show Monk since the beginning. Also like Law and Order: SVU.

Of the new shows this season I like: Surface--interesting and can't wait to see where it goes.
Also like the new show Invasion--same reasons as above.
