I’ll be sticking with my usuals: TAR, NCIS, CSI, CSI NY New Shows I’ll definitely check out: Smith - really looking forward to this. Studio 60 - I’m not a huge Sorkin fan, but I like most of the cast New Shows I’ll DVR at least an episode of: Shark - Could be good. Depends on how much James Woods overacts. The Nine - Hopefully won’t get too soap-y ---

I’ll stay true to The Office and Venture Bros., give Saturday Night Live, My Name Is Earl, and How I Met Your Mother time when I can, and definitely check out Studio 60 and Heroes. In the spring, I’ll be all about the returns of Scrubs, 24, and The Shield. ---

**House**. It’s the only show I’ve made it a point to watch since Futurama. I heart Hugh Laurie. Though for some odd reason, I’ve been having dreams about Jesse Spencer. In reality, I don’t go for “cute” guys. My dreams betray me. ---

Not considering. I been watching Supernatural (“Supanacheral!”) since the start, partly because it’s Buffy-Kolchak-X-Files-esque, it’s a pretty simple concept, and it just is plain fun. The brothers act like real brothers. Lots of fun monsters, no “regular” ones yet i.e. no vampires or werewolves. And they throw in eye candy. Taylor Cole! 🆒 ---

Oh, since **Selkie** got me watching her Smallville DVDs all summer, I’ll probably tune into Smallville every now and then. With Green Arrow joining the cast, I predict a hilarious trainwreck of a season! ---
