"Cougar Town?" Sounds like one of those $9.95 charges I sometimes find on my debit card...

I find it odd that I don't watch a single show on BH's post 0. Well, except Chuck. Will check out White Collar though.

Has anyone been watching "The Colony" on Discovery?

CSI
Bones
Survivor
Psych

I don't think I have ever really seen any of the ones listed in this thread. (Except Survivor and Without a Trace)

Don't watch a ton of TV, and when I do its usually in a bar and sports.

Anyone watching Warehouse 13? I had high hopes for the series, but from about show #2 on the two Secret Service characters turned into squabbling highschoolers.

I'm still woefully hopeful that Heroes will turn things around. I like The Mentalist a lot, and greatly enjoy The Amazing Race. Big Brother this year had the LAMEST final 2 ever.

I like Burn Notice and got into the other USA show, Royal Pains. I got into Leverage this year as well as Dark Blue. I am interested in White Collar when it starts.

I think Better Off Ted may be one of the best shows that no one ever talks about it.

I'm gonna try and make Community the only new show I add. I've just got too much!

Being in the business I'm almost afraid to watch "Community"; it might hit too close to home. But having seen the five minute teaser I can't help but watch.

For the third year in a row I'm going to toss "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" out there. It starts tomorrow on FX 10 EDT/9 CDT.

Better Off Ted is awesome. I really liked Carpoolers (was on ABC after Cavemen), and it was the same way - no one ever talked about it but it was REALLY funny. I think Better Off Ted will stick around a while because they haven't really hyped it and it's managed to get us talking. Mostly because it's good, which also helps.

Last Friday's Psych was spectacular. Oh and the Ms. Hen loves Greek, and it's really pretty good.

As for Big Brother, I actually left this alone for the first month this season, but you know how it pulls you in. The finale was pretty surreal with a whole lot of good players in the jury house and the two worst (out of everyone including the first four) sitting on the couch.

Does anyone like Dexter? its among a few shows I've never seen I can now get using my Netflix box. FYI - the Netflix/Roku box has current shows available for streaming i.e. Lost, The Office, Heroes and for the ladies Greys Anatomy and Desperate Housewives.

Might make figuring out the DVR a bit easier with a few less shows to tape.

It also has the MLB.com online package right to your TV. Including all games, radio or home/away team audio, fantasy tracker (lets you know when a specific hitter is at the plate) and an archive of old games (with the ability to watch full games in an hour thanks to editing).

Solid list, BH.

This is what I'm looking at recording:

Thurs - Office, 30 Rock, Fringe, Community, Parks and Recreation, Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Flash Forward

Fri - Dollhouse

Sun - Mad Men (best show on TV)

2010 - Lost, 24

Blech. Much shorter list now.

Psych and Greek both just ended and are in the pantheon. Good news about Chuck, as well. And 24 also comes back in January.

Right now, we're sticking to Eastwick, How I Met Your Mother, Office, Flash Forward, Big Bang Theory, and White Collar.

Also watching Accidentally On Purpose, Til Death, and Gary Unmarried, but all three are tenuous.

I watch 30 Rock, she watches Glee. Not watching Cougar Town or Modern Family, but am interested in both.

The League debuts tonight 10:30 right after Always Sunny in Philadelphia on FX. A show about a bunch of middle aged guys connected by a fantasy football league.

Notice to all those considering adding a show in -- Modern Family is the funniest new show of the season, and the competition isn't even close. Start watching it ASAP. I'm glad I just did.

I've enjoyed Community more than Modern Family. Last Thursday's Halloween episode was the best one yet.

Anyone here watching Mad Men? Next week is the season finale and so far season 3 has already surpassed 1 and 2.

I've liked Community, and Parks and Recreation as gotten MUCH better this season. Reminds me of the first season of The Office (the U.S. one) which took a while to figure things out.

Just finished the first two weeks of White Collar. The Ms. really likes it, but after the first episode, it's really just a crime drama, and I'm not a fan of those. Will give it a couple more weeks, but it's a far cry from Psych.

Season three. Just watched it (last month?). That phrase is stuck in my head. I try to use it when appropriate :)

I don't have Showtime, so I have to wait for the DVDs for Season 4.

I can't believe that I only saw House mentioned once! I don't get much chance to watch television, but that is by far my favorite show. A lot better now they got rid of the other characters as well. I enjoyed the new storylines at first, but I couldn't get involved with theyr characters as I could the originals.

Flash Forward has been really good. Really smart, interesting characters, good plot. I'll be sad to see it go, but it's also reasonable that a second season would have been very difficult, since the plot is very specific. Looking forward to the series finale later this week.

Cougar Town is actually really good. It definitely wasn't what it was billed to be. Ms. Cox did much better here than in Dirt. Glad to see it got renewed.

Better Off Ted was great. It was a very simple premise, but there were enough interesting things in there to keep my attention. The low numbers came because they moved it around a lot.

I'm with you on Flash Forward and Better Off Ted. Sorry to see them go. Others watched in house were Mercy, The Forgotten, Numbers, Heroes. Didn't expect Mercy and the Forgotten to last. Sad to see Numbers leave and Heroes died a long time ago anyway.

Watched Heroes til this year, so am looking forward to watching the whole season on Netflix streaming this summer and finishing it up.

My Netflix summer of streaming will be Heroes, Lost, Dexter, Arrested Development and 30 Rock in rotation each night. Really just started all of them. Also might add 24, Friday Night Lights or Rescue Me. Never watched any of those yet.

GO, you should ditch 30 Rock and add Friday Night Lights. 30 Rock goes nowhere - just watch an episode or two and you'll be caught up. Not that it isn't good, just that it's a waste to use up streaming time on it.

Can someone explain why they wait til the new season starts to release the previous seasons DVD? I know a few people that want to watch Modern Family and catch up, but the freaking DVD comes out 9/21. The same week as the new season starts (fairly standard practice). If these seasons were available at the start of summer, people could pick a show up and play catch up over the summer and be ready when Sept. rolls around.
