First Impressions, here is what my DVR will be recording and I will be viewing:
MONDAY 8:00 - Big Bang Theory 8:30 - How I Met Your Mother 9:00 - Two and a Half Men 9:30 - WORST WEEK
8:00 - Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
8:00 - Chuck 9:00 - Heroes 10:00 - MY OWN WORST ENEMY
May have to make a tough decision about the 8pm slot, but I do have 2 DVRs now ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TUESDAY 8:00 - House 9:00 - FRINGE (FOX)
9:00 - THE MENTALIST (CBS) 10:00 - Without a Trace (CBS)
A night that I use to watch nothing may all of a sudden get a little busy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WEDNESDAY 8:00 - Bones (Fox)
9:00 - Criminal Minds (CBS) 10:00 - CSI: NY (CBS)
Slowly becoming a light night for TV broadcast viewing. Good thing Mythbuster and Smash Lab are on this night ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8:00 - My Name is Earl (NBC) 9:00 - The Office (NBC)
9:00 - Kitchen Nightmares (FOX)
10:00 - LIFE ON MARS (ABC)
Two additional hours from this season. What a full night! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FRIDAY
Almost nver watch anything on this night, but May DVR Caruso & Life for the wife ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUNDAY 8:00 - NFL overrun / The OT (FOX)
8:00 - Football Night / Sunday Night Football (NBC)
I really wished CBS had put a 2 hour comedy block on this night ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
90210 (CW) My Own Worst Enemy (NBC) Fringe (FOX) Surviving the Filthy Rich (CW) Knight Rider (NBC) Project Gary (CBS) Stylista (CW) Do Not Disturb (FOX) Life On Mars (ABC) Eleventh Hour (CBS) Crusoe (NBC) F.A.T. City (CW)
Obviously that is way too much to continue watching. I'll give it one episode and make my final decisions.
I will sample almost all the scripted new stuff. My definite returnees:
MONDAY 8pm - Big Bang Theory / How I Met Your Mother (CBS) Gossip Girl (CW) 9pm - Heroes (NBC) (although this isn't really a definite as I'm not putting up with another year like last year) 10pm - Boston Legal (ABC)
TUESDAY 8pm - House (FOX) 10pm - Eli Stone (ABC) Law & Order: SVU (NBC)
From a ratings standpoint, I am intrigued by all the new stuff on Tuesday at 9 (against Dancing no less), and the fact that some fairly solid-rated unscripted shows have been moved to Friday will make for some interesting battlegrounds. Also a lot of wild-cards in the always jam-packed Monday 8pm hour.
The new shows I sample will probably depend on reviews and clips, but the returning series are: MONDAY 8pm Big Bang Theory / How I Met Your Mother (CBS)
9pm Two and a Half Men (CBS)
THURSDAY 8pm Survivor (CBS) 30 Rock (NBC)
9pm The Office (NBC)
SUNDAY 8pm The Amazing Race (CBS)
10pm The Unit (CBS)
Not too much, but I'll pick up some new shows too.
