Thanks Eric. If you’re up to it and have time…….. I would love for you to review a few of the new shows.
September 7th, 2009 at 5:51 am
stupid Jay Leno show. I’d rather watch a bowl of yogurt for an hour every night.
September 7th, 2009 at 7:17 am
Do we really need another “V”?
I winder if Survivor: Samoa will feature people now having to drive on the left-hand side (as of today).
And there MUST be a few more British shows just screaming for “Americanization”.
I’m so glad I pulled the plug on broadcast TV in August 2008! My TV now only plays DVDs or stuff off my computer. Didn’t even bother to buy a digital converter. . .

Another vampire show, really? I guess vampires are the new zombies.
September 7th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
I can’t believe you don’t include MadMen on there – best hour of television – Sunday night 8/9 on AMC
September 7th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
Everyone be sure to catch the season premiere of “Mad Men” on Aug. 16.
September 7th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Billy Bob, how many Zombie television shows have you seen?
Yes, we need another V, this one should be a little less cheesy than the first one…
September 7th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
I don’t think that Hell’s Kitchen is going to be starting a new season on September 29th. They are currently mid-season with 6 weeks left and I can’t find anything about the next season starting anytime soon.
September 8th, 2009 at 9:56 am
As everyone declares “Mad Men” as the best show on TV and the best thing that has ever existed, am I the only one who thinks it is just slightly overrated….?
September 8th, 2009 at 10:03 am
Ian,
I have seen the first episode of the new “V” and I can assure you it will be just as cheesy as the original.
September 8th, 2009 at 2:18 pm
SUPERFREAKINGNATURAL.
Am I the only person who thinks that show is AMAZING? Lost fans should turn in to see Jacob playing Lucifer. It’s sure to be the greatest thing that has ever happened in my life.

Really enjoyed the pilot of Glee on Hulu. Hope it continues to be good–and that new episodes keep showing up on Hulu.
September 10th, 2009 at 11:05 am
Since NBC canceled LIfe-I refuse to watch any new show…call me a drama queen but really, Jay Leno for prime time??? I agree with one poster, Mad Men is a tad over rated but each to their own, right?
And why is Thursday so jammed? My DVR;s can only record so many shows on one night
