OK so I've watched Kidnapped and Jerricho and like them both. I have Friday Night Lights on the TiVo schedule but have a sneaking suspicion it won't last. I wanted to watch Shark with my man James Woods but keep forgetting.

Any shows out there that are worth my time. Before you say it, I only watch shows I am 100% into. If I as much as utter, ahh not bad, I won't watch it again as I don't like to spend time IFO the tv watching crap

I love:
lost, grey's anatomy, biggest loser, kidnapped, amazing race, medium. I know there are more but just cannot think of them.

Let me save you some time, GOB:

Six Degrees shows some promise....I like the whole karma angle - the whole "we are all connected" angle - and the fact that Tom Brady's long-time girlfriend stars in the show.

Otherwise, they all pretty much stink. Not that I have seen them all - but don't they usually stink? Example: Lost is good - but if you miss the first several espisodes, you're "lost" for good. Desperate Housewives could possible be the worst show on TV next to that new show Ugly Betty - God awful. Grey's Anatomy - watched it last night for the second time in my life. I wanted to kick myself in the arse. Some very good performances - but jeez-lousie, the story lines - it's just a more educated version of Desperate Housewives - Desperate, F&cked-up Doctors. Obviously demographic studies have shown that the Sopa Opera set is working full time now - so may as well bring Soap Opera's to prime time. No need for Tivo, Alk! ;)

Must see's for me?

Nip/tuck - (if story lines are going to be absurd, you may as well go all the way), Rescue Me- (funny stuff), Entourage- (funny stuff), Sopranos -(even though it sucks now - I keep watching and hoping it becomes great again), Project Runway (Can't even describe how much I LOVE this reality show) and maybe Survivor.


So as you can see, my taste is suspect! LOL!

The pilot for Heroes on NBC was pretty cool, that's if you are into the comic/superhero thing.
I hope it hangs around.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip is great. I had taped the first two episodes and watched them both last night. It's my new favorite show.

I liked that, too. Deadwood is my favorite HBO series, though the season ender was disappointing.

Worse than "not any good." Worse than "bad" even. I was very disappointed. I'm a fan of the show's excutive producer, Selma Heyak - she does a lot of charitable work for victimized women throughout the world and is an "advocate" of sorts for "women with real life curves." - but man, this show sucks out loud.

Not even worth a second chance it was that bad- I am just going on the reviews of all new shows that I read and I know this one was on the list that had a good shot to succeed.

Don't bother.....plus, The JN Executive Staff is going to start questioning your manhood if you become a regular viewer. Ugly Betty isn't exactly The Man Show.

(pssst.....Faba, okay, I asked Max, and I swear I didn't tell him it was you, but he told me that JetNation's Health Care Provider does NOT cover sex reassignment surgery.)

if im watching tv and its not the office its probably a documentary or repeats of something actually worth watching.

The Office and LOST have combined to take over my life recently. I had to play "catch-up" for both shows because I missed the first 2 seasons when the shows first came out. I am fully caught up on both and am totally obsessed.

The Office is obviously the best show around right now. That being said, 30 Rock is another terrific NBC comedy and was easily one of the best new shows.

i watched a couple episodes of that, and liked them, but it got repetetive and kinda stupid near the end of this season in my opinion.

Sorry it took me so long to reply to this, I am just seeing it.

Heroes is a good show (however I don't devote as much attention to it as I do Smallville and Supernatural), although this first season seems to have gone by so slow. One more episode left, this Monday. I also catch reruns on the Scifi channel every so often.

Not a chance in hell. My Name Is Earl seems like a nice little show that's pretty funny. The Office is comedy genius in every episode.

It's cool that you like The Office but damn are you an arrogant guy. Family Guy is a great show and I barely know anybody who doesn't like it. And are you saying Wayne's World wasn't a funny movie? Maybe your sense of humor isn't that great after all and you just think you're better than everybody else. I have a hard time understanding how somebody would not find The Office to be a funny show but it's their loss if they don't appreciate it.

And I swear to god if somebody even mentions 2 and a Half Men in the sentence as The Office I will punch them.

Arrested Development is another hysterical show that unfortunately got cancelled because people would rather watch crappy comedies with laugh tracks.

sorry, i just have humor standards. i did like arrested development, and seinfeld was great too. so its not like the office is the only good show that has ever been on tv. there just aren't ANY right now.

no, i didn't really think waynes world was that funny. there were funny moments, but not really overall. as for the family guy, its just ridiculous, it isn't funny in the slightest, just stupid.

as for me being arrogant, nah, i just know im better than most, like 97% :)

I have humor standards as well. I think about 99% percent of people would disagree with you on Family Guy so you're just wrong on that one. Of course it's ridiculous the best comedies always are.

Have you ever watched It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia? It is a great comedy I would put right up there with The Office.

I'm guessing you thought Blazing Saddles sucked too?

i would say 99% of the united states does not have humor standards. nah, closer to 97...

the family guy has funny moments, but overall its just stupid in my opinion. i would say the same about aqua teen. i like things to be over the top, but somewhat realistic. if it isn't somewhat realistic, im not going to like it. those shows just put stupid **** together and think its funny. its not.

although, i hate cartoons, so that probably has something to do with it as well.
