Thanks for the update, Taesma! ER is probably my oldest favorite series. I never miss it! If this is the last season, it will be hard to say goodbye...

I had not heard that ER would be ending, though it comes as no surprise. It seems like the powers-that-be are throwing one new character after another on the show to see who "sticks" but the veteran cast members seem tired. Maybe it is time to retire this show, though I would miss it.

Well, then I say bring back George Clooney!

Goran was supposed to leave last season, from what I remember...

Yes, that was revealed before the end of last season. Seems like Abby's the only one who didn't get that memo. I wonder if Kovac will be killed off while returning to Chicago or if he'll decide he can't leave his country; either way, Abby's in for a surprise.

Whew! I think I need some ice water [*Gatsby fans himself frantically*]. I tell ya ... I just watched the latest episode of "Moonlight" (the new vampire/PI series). That show is just too hot for its own bad self ! Good grief ~ not only are the plots (so far) pretty compelling but it's just so strangely passionate in the process.

Tonight the "girl-our-undead-one-worships-from-not-so-afar" let him bite her (seemed like he might have bought the farm, or something, if she hadn't). It was the most entirely 'romantic' thing I've seen on TV for a very long time!

But he didn't bite her long enough to "turn" her into a vampire, evidently. Just enough to wet his whistle and get his strength back.
Sorry. Just had to share all that while I was here...

I love that show Gatsby.It was great tonight.I agree it was very romantic and I have a feeling it will lead to them hooking up for good.
At least I Hope so.

I really liked the premiere of Samantha Who? - it was fun to see how Sam reacted when she realized how awful she was to the important people in her life and swears that from here on out she wants to be a nicer person and make better choices. I look forward to seeing more Samantha as it made me laugh at loud alot and I hope Barry Watson sticks around, I enjoyed him in What About Brian and was glad to see ABC brought him back to another new show.

Also enjoying:
Pushing Daisies
Law and Order:Criminal Intent (now on USA)

Bionic Woman


I also started watching "Grey's Anatomy" because of all the hype. I was convinced I wouldn't like it and I'm already sucked in.

nakarinna, if you like Grey's, you'll like Private Practice. I'm hooked on both!

I'm giving Bionic Woman - which is scheduled against Private Practice - one last shot (this week). If I drop it, then I may pick up Private Practice.

I just saw where it was supposed to be back in early November--the 4th, I think it said.

I also saw Phil K. doing some things on the Early Show, that is what made me think of it.

Journeyman and Life seem to be all round favorites, making it into people with varying tastes lists.

Haven't seen Life.

But have seen all the Journeyman episodes and am still trying to figure out what is the most intriguing about the show.

It's certainly not flashy.

The characters seem real and have depth.

Doesn't get caught up on any one subject for too long, keeps moving, flowing along.

Leaves you wanting to know more about the characters pasts, while each week showing you a bit more about them.

'Viva Laughlin' and 'Nashville' are the first cuts of the new season.
'The Amazing Race 12' is set to appear in the place of 'Laughlin'. I'm anticipating a good season of that.

I have pretty much dropped 'Moonlight'. Might try it again Friday, I don't know.

My DVR was getting full of episodes that were waiting to be watched. I had to let something go, so it was every episode of Life and Chuck from this season. Now that you can watch them online I don't feel bad for deleting them. Maybe I'll wait until reruns begin and then I'll start watching those deleted shows on my laptop.

My DVR is getting full too, my biggest problem is wednesday night, theres just too much to watch!

Does anyone know when Greek is coming back? Have yall heard of Rush'd ? they are auditioning kids to win a guest appearance so i guess that means they havent started filming yet..thoughts?

While it's very early in the season and in the process of these shows getting their "legs", I know, I'm still getting nervous about "Moonlight". I continue to like it plenty ... but it needs to make its mind up what it "is" (in my opinion). Is it a jazzed-up detective show? A VERY mismatched romance? Tongue-in-cheek or serious-to-the-fang ? Each episode has a different overall 'feel' to it and, frankly, any of them seem OK to settle on. But each week the flavor of the show shifts so much (probably not a solid one-unit writing staff right now, is my guess). I like the romance angle, but thought the hormonal teenaged boy vamp last night was a little creepy. All right, it seemed pretty much sleazy to me ~ and I'm no prude, but that story seemed to get in the way of more important/watchable things. My fear is that it will experiment with itself to the point of never finding a core audience ~ and get the boot before it gains one.

And what on Earth is going on with "Ghost Whisperer"? Yikes, I was entirely flummoxed last night watching that show . That one was better when they just had one "O Henry"-ish type story a week. Now we have generations of ghost whisperers surfacing? No real offense to the show (as it is just entertainment, after all), but I don't think that it's "smart" enough stylistically or historically to become anything close to something as complex as "The X-Files" could be. Just another opinion, though. I could be missing some key something...

Reading this thread is sort of interesting to me. I've never even heard of 95% of the programs of which you are speaking. Blame it on the World Series, blame it on football, blame it on -- oh wait, hockey just started!

Hey Gats, I agree with you about Ghost Whisperer. I have watched every season but I had to stop watching it this season. It's not that I don't like anyone on the show, it's just too "precious". And for as small as Grandview is, how can Melinda's gift possibly not be public knowledge? Everyone in town has a ghost-story, don't they talk to each other about them? I couldn't take it anymore and had to quit recording it. I can't wait for Medium to return!

Anyone else watch What Not to Wear? Apparently Stacy London is getting her own show starting Nov. 23 called "fashionably late". This show is apparenly a talk show but will still have lots of makeovers too(yay)..
