My Shortest Season Pass List in Years

Blame it on the Red Sox who want to keep playing. Blame it on lots and lots of football on Sunday and Monday nights with live scoring on my fantasy team. Blame it on the new job. Blame it on having a slightly older kid who stays up a bit later. Whatever it is, my TV watching is seriously lagging this year. I have updated the season pass list at the left of this page to reflect the shows I've actually been watching before they get deleted from my TiVo. All in all, I'm relatively underwhelmed by the new offerings.
  • Pushing Daisies was way too much like a Broadway musical for my liking. It's no longer on my season pass list.

  • Chuck is probably good, but I has been sitting on my TiVo for weeks without any major urge for me to watch it after the first episode.

  • Private Practice is passable, but not outstanding -- what Grey's pulled off as quirkiness, Private Practice pushes to the edge of corniness.

  • Cane is good enough to keep me interested, but mostly because I absolutely love Jimmy Smits. In my world, he is currently president after all.

  • Gossip Girl is good, but it is hardly Gilmore Girls or the O.C.-- and it never will be.

Brothers & Sisters has risen to the very top of my favorites list. It's exceptionally good and has be crying as some point during nearly every episode. At some point, I think I'll write a post about why I love it so much when TV makes me cry. But not tonight. I'm going to hope that the TV program I'm watching tonight doesn't make anyone in the Nation (i.e. Red Sox Nation) cry.

No crying last night!!!

Try Bionic Woman. It kicks ass. Give Chuck another try, it funny in a cute way. I do love Cane although, I missed the pilot. Brothers and Sisters is great and Men in Trees (not new either) is pretty good too. I haven't watched Pushing Daisies, but if it really is like I musical, I have to watch it! ;)
