Here’s the [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=336923) from last year.

I’ll definitely watch:  
Scrubs in January  
My Name is Earl  
Cold Case

Probably watch:  
The Office

I also want to check out House, and Kidnapped.

Aside from Smallville, Supernatural, Robot Chicken and Venture Brothers, I might give Heroes a chance. Maybe Jericho.

As far as new shows go, Heroes and Jericho. Maybe The Nine and Six Degrees.  
Old shows: Earl, The Office, Lost, Scrubs (It’s not coming back till January?!?), Grey’s Anatomy, ER, Amazing Race, L&O:Original and Criminal Intent and Without A Trace.

I need to cut back on my TV watching.

House.

And whatever’s on when I’m actually home to watch TV.

Entourage when it comes back on (won’t be for awhile ☹ )

Wow, a lot of love here for Supernatural! Warms my cold black heart, it does.

I’ll be watching (or Tivoing):  
Gilmore Girls  
Veronica Mars  
America’s Next Top Model  
Lost  
Heroes  
Supernatural  
Grey’s Anatomy (and perhaps Six Degrees)

On Fridays, my daughter and I settle in with comfort food and the N. Degrassi, South of Nowhere, and Whistler. Feel free to mock us.

Last year I watched The Simpons and Criminal Minds. This summer I got hooked on Prison Break and House (and I"m still kicking myself for not catching House from the beginning. That is one fine show).

I have quite a list, which means that the constant moaning about shitty tv is kinda lost on me:

Criminal Minds  
C.S.I.  
Lost  
NCIS  
Prison Break  
Veronica Mars  
(The new Aaron Sorkin, I forget the title)  
The Wire, season 4 (Best tv ever)  
The Unit  
Cold Case  
Torchwood  
Dr Who (in '07)  
Eureka  
BSG  
Boston Legal  
Bones

Plus some local programming. There’s quite a lot of good to excellent tv after filtering out all the crap.

</div>

The Amazing Race  
Survivor  
Law & Order (the original one only)

Maybe ER and The Apprentice. I have a feeling I may peter out on those early in the season.

Oh, and I am embarrassed to admit it, but I got addicted to Wife Swap last year, so I’ll probably watch that, too.

\*Kyle XY \* has roped me in. I’ve seen all but one, and it’s recorded.

_House_, definitely.

I can’t miss\* Monk\* "Mr. Monk Stays In Bed "is the pinnacle.

_My Name Is Earl_ is brilliant.

I wasn’t into _Dead Zone_ from the beginning (though I did read the book,) but I try to catch it every week.

_The Daily Show_ and _Colbert_ are a nightly ritual.

_Washington Week_ and _NOW_ can’t be missed.

**What the Hell happened to Boondocks??**

Right. They’re doing it the same way they did it last year.

Here’s the fall lineup for networks:[http://www.metacritic.com/tv/seasons/2006fall/networks.shtml](http://www.metacritic.com/tv/seasons/2006fall/networks.shtml)

Damn this thread. With Deadwood gone, I thought I’d be able to cut back to a couple hours a week – The Office, My Name is Earl, The Closer, and Lost.

But I forgot all about Supernatural and Boston Legal. And with the UPN-WB combo, I think I’ll be able to catch Veronica Mars.

[Navin Johnson voice]But that’s all I need. 🙂

I will continue to watch Medium, House MD, Lost, Desperate Housewives, Boston Legal, and American Idol.

I will start watching and possibly stick with The Nine, the Class, and Jericho.

House, 24, Lost, Grey’s Anatomy, Boston Legal, Numb3rs, maybe a bit of The Unit. On Showtime I generally try to catch Rescue Me, Slings and Arrows, and Weeds. The new show Heroes looks good…

I’m such a junkie. :o

I am going to watch Battlestar Galactica & Veronica Mars. I’ll probably just wait for The Office to release on DVD.

I’m willing to catch House if it’s on TV at my parents’ house. I like it a lot but I don’t have the same interest in the characters and narrative the way I do for BG & VM.
