*chuckles*

I USED to be ... "way back when" I had 2-3 shows PER NIGHT to watch, if not more. Nowadays, TV watching is limited because I, too, am online a lot.....


Of the shows I listed before, I usually only talk about "Friday Night Lights" with others during the week ... and it is usually just about what happened the Friday night prior ... and what might happen. A few others, I wish I had others to talk with about 'em....

A few shows that I also watch that I didn't list originally are ABC's "Desperate Housewives", ABC's "Brothers and Sisters", ABC's "Boston Legal" and CBS's "Cold Case"....


As for why I watch....

ABC's "Pushing Daisies":
It's just quirky and works. I originally wanted to watch it because it was good to see Swoozie Kurtz back on TV, along with Chi McBride (principle on FOX's "Boston Public"). But, I watched the first 2 episodes and was hooked....

ABC's "Samantha Who?":
Jean Smart. She's been on CBS' "Designing Women" and, more recently, FOX's "24".

ABC's "Desperate Housewives":
Cool to see Felicity Huffman (ABC's "SportsNight") and Teri Hatcher (ABC's "Lois and Clark") in different roles. As for the storylines...well, might be a "guilty pleasure"...?

ABC's "Brothers and Sisters":
Interesting to see Calista Flockhart (FOX's "Ally McBeal") back on TV ... and with an interesting mix of cast members, including Sally Field (remember "Smokey and the Bandit"?) and Rob Lowe.

ABC's "Boston Legal":
I usually only watch the ending of this one with the 2 lawyers (portrayed by James Spader and William Shatner) talking in the evening. But, it's interesting to also see Candice Bergen (CBS's "Murphy Brown"), John Larroquette (NBC's "Night Court"), and others (i.e. guests Betty White, NBC's "Golden Girls", and Michael J Fox, NBC's "Family Ties" and ABC's "Spin City") in this one.

CBS's "NUMB3RS":
Simply an awesome cast around an awesome show format/plotline, especially solving crimes with math! Judd Hirsch and Peter MacNicol (formerly with FOX's "Ally McBeal" and, more recently, FOX's "24" ... during which time he was on a space shuttle mission on CBS's "NUMB3RS") are in this, too.

CBS's "Cold Case":
I just like seeing the flashbacks...and how the crimes are eventually solved....

FOX's "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?":
Shocking to find out what I remember...and, more so, what I don't.

FOX's "Don't Forget The Lyrics!":
The music ... plain and simple.

NBC's "Friday Night Lights":
Awesome cast. Love the theme music, too ... and, of course, the older cars!


Hmmm...BTW...anyone else watch ABC's "Eli Stone" Thursday night after "LOST"? Looks to be an interesting show, imho. I thought I recognized a couple of the ladies in it ... Natasha Henstridge (ABC's "Commander In Chief") and Loretta Devine (FOX's "Boston Public")....

According to TV guide, the status of some of the popular shows, now that the TV strike is done...

FOX's "24"
Season 7 postponed until January 2009.

ABC's "Boston Legal"
One pre-strike episode remains. Expected to shoot 8 additional episodes to air in April/May.

ABC's "Brothers & Sisters"
One pre-strike episode remains. Expected to shoot 4 additional episodes to air in April/May.

CBS's "Cold Case"
Expected to shoot 5 new episodes to begin airing on March 30.

ABC's "Desperate Housewives"
Expected to shoot 7 new episodes to air in April/May.

NBC's "Friday Night Lights"
No new episodes expected for this season. Future TBD.

MY NOTE: From all reports I've heard, this show is dead...VERY disappointing news, considering how well this show is put together from top to bottom.... I also heard somewhere that, when asked the status of "Friday Night Lights", the "best show on TV" (words of the person asking the question), an NBC exec quipped something like, "Keep Watching 30Rock ... THAT's the best show on TV".... If this was the exec's actual response, shouldn't the response been a bit more impartial...?

FOX's "House"
Expected to shoot 4 new episodes to air in April/May.

CBS's "Jericho"
Seven episodes remain. No additional episodes expected for this season.

ABC's "Lost"
Five pre-strike episodes remain. Expected to shoot 5 additional episodes to air in April/May.

Eleven pre-strike episodes remain, the first of which airs Feb. 27. No additional episodes expected this season.

CBS's "NUMB3RS"
Expected to shoot 6 new episodes to begin airing on April 4.

ABC's "Pushing Daisies"
No new episodes until fall.

ABC's "Samantha Who?"

CW's "Supernatural"
Final pre-strike episode airs Feb. 21. Expected to shoot 4 additional episodes to begin airing on April 24.

*sighs*

And, I still haven't decided about the new Knight Rider.... If I don't see it Sunday, the forecast is for that network to re-run it next Saturday, February 23....
