The 2006/2007 TV Season Thus Far

[Lowerdeck]

Anyone know when Veronica Mars starts back up? I really need to finish up Season 2 soon, so I don't have to overlap 2 and 3.

[YI]

I'm really anticipating The Office Season 3. I saw Family Guy and thought it was mediocre, it seems like South Park's cartoon wars kind of proved a huge point that Family Guy is a string of jokes that have nothing to do with the "plot" and it's gotten a lot less funny.

Eh, I'm just doing comedies here. Those and Reality TV are(mostly) all I watch. I haven't been able to watch much with Big Brother finale, Football, Rockstar: Supernova finale and moving. But these are the only(two) shows I've watched in the past week.

The War At Home

Muahahahahahaha. That's all you have to say. Dave's man crush and Mike's constant relationship problems to Dave and Vicky wanting to get a break at lunch to go home for 45 minutes or so to be 'alone', but to only find Hilary there skipping school catching them in the act of getting naked and ready. G-I-D-E-O-N Star! I'm Gideon! while playing the piano is one of the funniest TV chants I've heard in a while when Larry changes his name. Very funny episode, with Dave getting caught hugging his Man Crush's daughter near the end, fixing Mike's relationship but Mike has a new girlfriend already. It's all-over-the-place, but followable. I reccomend you see the "Back to School" episode. 8/10

The Simpsons

Like The War At Home, this one was hilarious. Maybe even moreso then The War At Home. Fat Tony's son is a softy apparently and wants to become a chef while Fat Tony is about to be killed. Fat Tony is actually shot and his son is expected to come back and avenge him, but what is a softy gon' do? In the episode it develops the new character, the son of Tony named 'Michael' - Michael goes through the episode looking for his fathers support and in the end shows his true colors by killing all of his Dad's mafia enemies with his cooking recipe, what Lisa finds that says "Posion" at the end. Lisa thought it was an accident until Michael came out of his fathers room and didn't his father it was an accident, when Lisa questioned him he said "Lisa, for your own good stay out of my business" closing the door. For it only to open to "Vroom vroom!" noises from Michael as he played on a toy race track while the bullies(Nelson and crew) shut the door again. As the show ended off with "Vroom vroom" from behind the door. The new king of mafia is formed~! 8/10

The pilots I've seen, from best to worst:

1. The Black Donnellys

2. Studio 60

3. Raines

4. The Singles Table

5. Standoff

6. The Class

7. Jericho

8. The Nine

9. Runaway

10. Happy Hour

11. Men In Trees

12. Justice

13. Friday Night Lights

14. Vanished

15. Til Death

And a bit of news, since I don't think it's worthy of its own topic but doesn't fit anywhere else: for everyone who's seen The Singles Table, Pascale Hutton, the doctor, has been replaced in her role by Alicia Silverstone. This better not ruin the show, because the original pilot, led solely by John Cho, was awesome.

[Fitzy]

Kidnapped is on Wednesday so I might watch this, but has this gotten any good reviews?

I've read that Studio 60 is awesome. I'm pretty hyped for it. I also read that The Class is pretty good too.

[Ananas]

What the fuck is The Singles Table?

[Guest The Ringy Complex]

Kidnapped was okay. Nothing I'd lose much sleep over missing, but something I'd consider watching if I was still home. It's just that this feels like it's been done before, and this show has nothing overly original to keep me going.

[Fitzy]

Kidnapped was alright, like you said. But it was better than Jericho, I thought. Jericho is a show I'll probably still watch, but I was more into Kidnapped than I was for Jericho.

[Guest The Ringy Complex]

The creators of Jericho said that they expect the show to last 6 seasons. Yes, that won't get old, ever

[Fitzy]

Ha, idiots. In this day they are lucky to get a second season never mind a sixth. I hope it gets cancelled mid season.

[ROC]

Eh, it did better in the ratings than Justice. >_>

[ROC]

But when Justice is making 3.7 and barely beat a CW show in comparison to a 7.2 for Jericho, that's isn't great news.

It's because, despite their efforts, Victor Garber isn't a bad ass. Nobody who does his best work on the stage can be a badass. >_>

[ROC]

Naw, it's because Kerr Smith sucks. >_>

[TGC]

You take back those nasty words about Garber.

I liked Kidnapped. Finally got around to watching it, and it was pretty decent.

I have also now watched all five of Vanished thus far, and I'll be goddamned if I'm not actually inot it now. Everything has gotten better except the horrid acting by Marcy, the senator's daughter. The conspiracy rocks, FBI guy is almost not irritating, and I am actually finally starting to care about Sarah/Nikki.

I dropped Standoff. It is a fun show, and I almost enjoyed it, but too much shit on Tuesdays, and it does not make the cut.

So far this year my new faves are:

Studio 60

The Class

Justice

Jericho

Vanished

[MalaCloudy Black]

I'm all about the returning shows. Bones, House.. stuff like that.

I thought Standoff was pretty good though. I don't usually watch much on Tuesdays so I usually stick around after House and watch it. Decent little show.
