So we’re watching the usual stuff - Heroes, House, Desperate Housewives, ER…what’s new over there that you’d recommend? ---

The one new show I would recommend highly is “Pushing Daisies”. It is fun and whimsical. It is by the creative force behind “Dead Like Me” and “Wonderfalls”. It has a fairytale feel and a Tim Burton film look to it. It is very enjoyable and most dopers that have bothered to comment on it, seem to like the show, except for the narration, (I like the narration, it adds to the fairytale feel). Here are the threads on the show: [Pushing Daisies 10/10/07 “Dummy”](http://208.100.26.199/sdmb/showthread.php?t=439772) & [Pushing Daisies](http://208.100.26.199/sdmb/showthread.php?t=438849) You might want to check out this thread: [Well, How Is The New TV Season Going For You?](http://208.100.26.199/sdmb/showthread.php?t=440266) Jim ---

I am going to recommend _Saving Grace_. It’s sort of like a gritty police show, but with some black humor thrown in - it’s a very hard show to describe but very compelling. ---

But _Saving Grace_ isn’t new. In fact, it just finished up it’s forst season. So it’ll be awhile until new shows are running. We caught the first episode of _Samantha Who?_ the other night. I think that’ll be on our schedule for awhile, if’n it keeps up the pace it started with. And of course _Psuhing Daisies_. ---

**Reaper** might be worth a try. I’ve seen one episode of **Chuck** and it looked alright. ---

Thanks for that, I’ll be updating the list of stuff to watch now!
