Are there any upcoming shows that look good? What are people planning to be watching? Veronica Mars and Studio 60 are no more, so I need some new blood… but I haven’t really heard much buzz about anything. Are there any good sites with reviews or previews or anything? ---

The new season of Prison Break is coming up. It’s supposed to take place in a really badass Central American prison. Can’t wait! ---

I am looking forward to _Journeyman_, _Cane_, and I hate to admit it, but I will give _Cavemen_ a shot. _Back to You_? Is that the new Kesley Grammer show? I want to see that one too. And of course…_Heroes_… ---

I think I’ll check out **Chuck** , but that may be about it. What does **Back To You** look like? Is it closer to _The Office_ or _Everybody Loves Raymond_? ---

We’ll probably skip just about everything until Tivo has a few episodes backlogged. Then we’ll see. The current New Shows To Record List has: **Sunday** - **Viva Laughlin** , just to see how hard it sucks. **Monday** - **The Big Bang Theory** will get its shot, just because it’s wedged between **How I Met Your Mother** and **Two and a Half Men**. **Tuesday** - \*\*Reaper \*\* actually looks like fun. We’ll Tivo for a bit, because if it’s any good they will surely cancel it fast. **Wednesday** - **Back To You**. I like Grammer but hate Heaton, so I hope it’s just a holdover from her previous show, which I loathed. The rest of the night is a wasteland. **Thursday** - **Survivor** , then nothing. **Friday** - Total zero. **Saturday** - See **Friday**. ---

[QUOTE=silenus] **Wednesday** - **Back To You**. I like Grammer but hate Heaton [/QUOTE] Same here. I’m not going to watch a show with her stupid face in it. Grr. ---

Sunday – **Viva Laughlin** , because I hope it doesn’t suck. Mon. and Tues. – **Dancing with the Stars** (the results show of which, yay!, isn’t against\*\* NCIS\*\*. Weds. – some curiosity about **Dirty Sexy Money** , which sounds as though it could be immensely entertaining. Thurs. – **Survivor** Friday – actually two shows, which would be great – does anyone else remember fondly when Friday was a good TV night? – **The Next Great American Band** (apparently bands can break up and reform during the course of the competition – cool!) and **Women’s Murder Club.** So that’s four new shows I want to check out – which is about three more than I checked out last year, IIRC. ---
