  • The 2008 Fall TV season is currently underway, and I'll have to be honest to say that I'm not prepared for it. I actually feel like I could wait until the beginning of next year, before I really want to continue some of the shows I regularly watch. Maybe it's because with the lack of original programming over the summer season, I've gotten used to having a little more free time in my life, without having to watch more TV. Sure I could just wait until a bunch of episodes have been released and watch them later online or on DVD, but all that's doing is procrastinating the time I would be spending watching them now. I may as well just get over it and watch my shows on a weekly basis as I've always done.

    So what's out there.... There's the return of "90210," which I have seen out of curiosity sakes, but I have no plans to follow the series. There's also "Hole in the Wall," which is amusing, and I can probably watch that on occasion. That's as far as I went with any new shows, as I'm not really that interested in adding additional programming to my "must see list." I'm still watching "Mythbusters," "Lewis Black's Root of all Evil," "Attack of the show,""The Soup," and all the Mixed Martial Arts shows as it is, in addition to the prime time stuff.

    Speaking of prime time programming, "Terminator : The Sarah Connor Chronicles" is still a good show to follow, although it honestly could be a bit better. "House, M.D." is as good as always, and I like that they already shook things up in the season premiere. "Smallville" is only going to get better now that the Lex Luthor and Lana Lang plot lines have been pushed to the background, but it's still a show with so many plot holes it's ridiculous. "Supernatural" is proving to be a really great series, and it looks like they are upping the ante with what's going on this season. I was able to see the first hour of the "Heroes" season premiere at Comic-Con, and I'm afraid that it's starting to get really tempting for me to drop that show (it's relying too much on cheap fan-service for it's story at this point). "The Office" and the FOX Sunday night animation block are the only ones left to watch, before things go back to normal in TV land for me.

    With all these shows I'm watching, I've got to say Thank Goodness for the DVR!
