Friends  
That 70’s Show  
and Scrubs

I don’t like serious shows most of the time. I watch a lot of comedy.

I DO like CSI, though and I’m looking forward to that starting back up. Although since I started watching the show this year, even a lot of the reruns are new to me.

🙂

I just saw an ad for **Karen Sisco** , based on the Elmore Leonard characters and starring Robert Forster! Carla Gugino (the hot _Spy Kids_ mom) is the title character. Can’t wait; hope it’s good.

I can’t believe so few people are looking forward to _Alias_. I’ll be absolutely glued to the set. Nothing else even comes close.

**24!!!**

The return of the San Francisco Giants to the **postseason**.

**Boston Public** and **Crossing Jordan** I’m mildly interested in, too, but I barely watch any TV outside of 24 and baseball.

I feel a little pang of guilt admitting this, but the first thing that leapt to mind when I saw this thread was “Woo, Survivor!!”. Do I get any redemption from my second thought being “Yay, only 5 more weeks until PSU football starts!!”? 😃

_ER_ and _That '70s Show_, even though on _ER_ I read spoilers so I know what happens. Luka and Carter are hot.

😉

Seriously, I just hope they’re done with Luka the Man Whore and the whole Carby thing. Just shove Abby into a woodchipper, already!

I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news for all of you who are anticipating the return of _Crossing Jordan_ as eagerly as I am. The show will be not be returning until midseason, sometime after Jill Hennessey has her baby. Its night and timeslot will depend on how successful _Las Vegas_ is.

Most of the others on my list have already been mentioned, including _Blue_, _CSI_, and _The West Wing_. One other favorite, _The Dead Zone_, has already returned with a mini-season this summer.

**The OC**. It looks like a cheesy cross between Beverly Hills 90210 and Baywatch but it’s set in my town and appears to be filmed about 4 blocks from my house. Hell, I’d watch Keanu Reeves in a Woody Allen show if it was filmed in my neighborhood.

Also **The West Wing** to see if they can pull it off without Aaron Sorkin writing the scripts.

ALIAS!!!

Sorry about that outburst, but after the season finale, I’m having trouble waiting (especially with episode 47 coming up early in the season!)

Other than that, probably the NFL, Man U games on Fox Sports Net, college football (God, please don’t let the Wildcats suck too bad,) and new episodes of The Brak Show on Adult Swim.

D.D. will be mine. Oh, yes- she _will_ be mine.

Angel - the premiere will make or break my devotion to the show. I’m not thrilled with the addition of Spike(he ruined Buffy all by his onesies) or the new direction the show is taking.  
Alias - two years!  
24 - is Palmer dead?

“She Spies” is being revamped?!? How, pray tell? I love that silly show!

As for the OP, I’m looking forward to the new season of “Angel.”

So YOU’RE that other viewer they keep talking about that’s doubled their ratings!

In any event, you can’t have D.D., I’m capturig the lot of them, and believe me, no half-assed bondage when I capture them. They’ll be ALL MINE. Some might call it greed. I call it … ambition!
