Yeah, I’m certainly looking forward to **Boardwalk Empire** ’s Premiere; I’ve read that HBO invested some serious talent (and money) into this new series. It’s supposed to start this Sunday (9/19/10). Here’s a link to a trailer, for those that are curious: [http://www.hbo.com/boardwalk-empire/about/video/trailer-3](http://www.hbo.com/boardwalk-empire/about/video/trailer-3) (Fans of **The Wire** will notice a short clip of Omar) Of course the renewal of old series is also exciting. **House** and **Dexter** are starting up soon. This excitement got me thinking that, besides **Madmen** and the shows already mentioned, I don’t like anything on TV. Well that just isn’t cool. I’d like some input on some other good shows. I’m not asking for mediocre / mildly entertaining; I want whatever the best TV has to offer. ---

I’m with you on all three shows. Others I will be watching – but may not rate highly enough to recommend to others – include: The Good Wife Fringe Bones Rubicon Human Target Medium Terriers The Mentalist Grey’s Anatomy (this is fast losing my interest and loyalty) Weeds The Big C Nurse Jackie Ones I can recommend with no hesitation: Mad Men Breaking Bad Justified Sons of Anarchy New ones I plan to watch until they prove themselves unworthy: Lonestar The Event Chase Detroit 1-8-7 Blue Bloods Outlaw You can see from this schedule that I’ll have to DVR quite a few of them, but that’s been true for several years. > **[2010–11 United States network television schedule](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010%E2%80%932011_United_States_network_television_schedule)** > > The 2010–11 network television schedule for the five major English language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers prime time hours from September 2010 through August 2011.

I really, really like _Terriers_. I’m gonna check out _Lone Star_ and _Boardwalk Empire_, but I probably won’t bother to look at any other new shows. I’m trying to keep my TV watching down to three-four hours a week. ---
