TV Schedule

This has been my first fall TV season with TiVo and it's about to kill me. They've got this thing where you can automatically record the first episodes of all the new shows, so I naturally felt obligated to try them all out at least once.

Well, maybe not all of them. I was pretty sure I wasn't going to like John Lithgow and Jeffrey Tambor's new sitcom, so I deleted that one unwatched. And there were several shows that I only watched part of before getting bored: Ugly Betty, Smith, and Six Degrees come to mind.

I made it through an entire episode of some shows, but decided that they weren't for me. Brothers and Sisters was too Dynasty, for example.

But there are a lot of shows that have my attention, at least enough that I'm going to follow them for a bit to see if they reach their potential. So here, joined by shows that I was already watching from previous seasons, is my updated TiVo list.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
Heroes
The Class
Gilmore Girls
House
The Unit
Lost
Justice
Jericho
The Nine
Grey's Anatomy
Smallville
The Office
Battlestar Galactica
Doctor Who
Men in Trees
The Batman
Legion of Super-Heroes
The Venture Brothers

That's a lot of shows. I'm guessing that some, like Heroes and Smallville, are going to get dumped eventually. Others, like Kidnapped (pictured above) -- which I liked, but is getting cancelled -- will be taken off my plate by the networks.

Thank Heaven for networks making my decisions for me.
