> [@Merejane](#): > > I agree that this is generally a pretty woeful season for new TV, but I am kind of shocked that no one has mentioned _Homeland_ as an exception. I think it’s the best thing currently on TV. I’ve seen bits and pieces, but I’m having a real hard time accepting Damien Lewis as a bad (?) guy. He’s great in the part, it’s just that he’ll always be Col. Winters (Band of Brothers) to me. And I know Claire Danes has done a ton of stuff, but she’s Temple Grandin. I watched that movie every time HBO showed it, and they showed it \*\* a lot\*\*. Maybe I’ll just wait for the DVD. Will it go more than one season, do you think? ---

Also, **Awake** is supposed to premiere as a mid-season replacement, and [it looks really good.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfPVoiQKFvk) ---

The new Tim Allen show is pretty good. 2 Broke Girls is funny. Boss has already been renewed for a second season. ---

The rest of you dopers need to catch up on it. And speaking of which, what’s with the rip-off chick cop show with the same memory shtick?
