I’ll add “My Name is Earl” and “How I Met Your Mother” (sadly I haven’t seen anyone else list that show… hopefully it gets ratings!) to my lineup.

Sundays - Grey’s Anatomy

Mondays - Surface (tape Arrested Development and giving Kitchen Confidential a try)

Tuesdays - The Biggest Loser, Amazing Race

Wednesday - Lost/Invasion

Thurs - Survivor, ER (can’t take the Apprentice anymore)

Friday - never used to watch TV on Friday, but I’m giving Threshold a chance

Saturday - is there actually TV on Saturday nights?

Gave up on - CSI, Law and Order (although I’ll still check out SVU if I happen to be traveling), Smallville, Alias, Charmed

No cable or I’d watch Nip/Tuck, The Shield, Battlestar Galactica and Deadwood (have to wait for Netflix!)

You know, I watched the first two episodes but didn’t think I liked it enough to mention in my list. But then I watched it again tonight, because I had 1/2 hour to kill before _Prison Break_, and I think I might like it! I love Alyson Hannigan (and find it funny that her show is up against Nicholas Brendon’s), and it’s nice to see Jason Segel (the engaged law student) again after _Freaks & Geeks_ – though I _still_ think he looks too much like Judge Reinhold. Also, I’m really enjoying Neil Patrick Harris as a shallow womanizer … I might wind up with a little crush on him. 😉

I think the Barney character flows seemlessly from Neil Patrick Harris’ “character” in Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle ;).

Really? What time is that show on again? I thought from the previews that Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle would be stupid. And it is. But it’s also funny as hell, and NPH’s character has a lot to do with that.
