I guess the television season started for some stations (at least Fox) last week and for other stations this week. Monday was an almost impossible television night for me. Way too many previews right up against each other. I had two VHS recorders going at my house and [livejournal.com profile] dbubley will be taping Dancing with the Stars this week. I like to watch Dancing with the Stars with [livejournal.com profile] loracs, so we will be seeing it sometime later.

Here's what I've seen so

Prison Break: I think this season has the potential of being better than last. Even with the surprise twists and turns of plot, last two seasons were structured in such a way that certain things just to had to happen. For example, in a show called prison break, they kind of had to escape from prison at some point. This season has very little expectation for me. They can take the show just about anywhere and so far I've enjoyed where they've taken it.

K-Ville: I have perhaps an unhealthy obsession with New Orleans, so I had to watch the first episode of this cop show set there. I assume this show will get old for me pretty soon, but right now it's engaging. The hook is a policeman who lived through Katrina and uts aftermath. Who has a real commitment to rebuilding his town, his neighborhood while many folk are leaving The Big Easy for good.

Back To You: Feels like a pretty old-fashioned sitcom. Really formulaic, but done by people who know how to do formulaic sitcoms. :-) Kelsey Grammar is basically doing Fraser again. I'll probably catch it if nothing else is on.


Chuck: INMHO You gotta love a television show with a Zork reference! :-) I don't have a lot of hope for the show. Its humor depends a lot on the main character being a fish out of water. I'll enjoy it for now.

Heroes: I loved the first season. Their first episode this year was up to their standards. Right now the only storyline that has me really hooked is Hiro's. I love seeing George Takai (I'm sure I'm not spelling his last name correctly). Just for the record I really hate the Peter Petrelli character and I'm very fond of Ando.

JourneyMan: I liked this show. Probably not as much as I hoped to like it but still. Unless they're very careful this show will get really old, really quickly.

I got through most of the half hour comedy's an CBS. Last year I tried to watch, How I Met Your Mother and never caught it regularly. Their premiere episode was fun. Doogie Howser (yes, I know that's not his real name. I'm making a joke. :-) tears up the scenery quite effectively. Two and A Half Men was actually funny this week. I haven't particularly loved that show, but they are getting their kids ready for high school bullies was funny. I know I may be ridiculed for this but The Big Bang was really funny. I'm definitely going to try to watch the rest of it.

I think that's it for now.

I watched Journeyman finally off of tape, and I agree with most of your thoughts. I liked the Bay Area views and the references. But it wasn't enough to hold my attention through the other stuff. Like you, I will be bored if the marriage issues are the main theme.

I would like some explanation, why and how is he traveling, and who is in control?

As for House, I was happy with the House-Wilson stuff, but the case stuff i found less interesting. Next week looks more promising though.

I'm with you on SVU also, and I thought it was mostly a waste of Cynthia Nixon's talents.
