  • I've seen all the new TV shows of this fall season that I wanted to check out, so here are some quick verdicts...

    How I Met Your Mother
    - Lite humor with a sense of thinking that it's "edgy" but not really.
    Neil Patrick Harris' character is the best one in the show so far. I'm
    not planning to follow this.

    Kitchen Confidential - Not
    out to put one-liners or intentional jokes, but more of a "isn't this a
    funny situation" kinda comedy. Bradley Cooper seems at home with his
    role. I'm not planning to follow this.

    My Name Is Earl -
    It's got a unique take on some humorous situation, but falls a little
    too much on the sentimental "aawww" moments that take you away from a
    pure comedy. Jason Lee and Ethan Suplee are definitely the ones that
    will carry the show.  In it's own way it's good, but I'm not
    planning to follow this.

    Supernatural
    - A great combination of the X-Files and Buffy the Vampire
    Slayer.  It's got humor, suspense, action, and some real scary /
    creepy moments. Jensen Ackles and Jared Padelecki are very likeable in
    their roles. I'm definitely following this so far.

    Invasion - This is another genre mystery serialized show that is common nowadays because of the popularity of a show like "LOST."
    The show is banking a little too much on the main mystery of the story,
    but it's honestly not as interesting as they were hoping it would be.
    I'm giving it a couple more episodes to decide if I'll completely
    follow it.

    Everybody Hates Chris
    - If you like the humor of Chris Rock, you will love this show. It's
    got some genuine funny moments and a likeable cast of characters. Tyler
    James Williams does an incredible job in the title role, especially
    considering his age.  I'm definitely following this so far.

    Reunion - Great great great
    concept, but bad bad bad writing.  It's too bad really, because I
    was hoping that this would be good. I'm not planning to follow this.

    Naruto -
    Technically not a new show, since this anime has been out for a couple
    of years now in Japan.  It's enjoyable enough, but it's nothing
    quite original and could get stale in the long run.  With that
    said, I'm definitely following this so far.
