I'm enough of a TV addict that I don't have cable, so...
OK, returning shows
Lost"”clever, complicated drama, transcending any "genre" label
24"”never get tired of the formula. Too fun.
Alias"”Since the season 4 re-boot, the freshness is wearing off a little bit. But still really fun.
And I kinda like Medium. It's got the psychic thing going on. And it's also trying to go for a subtle domestic drama feel. Sorta like that old show, "Thirtysomething".
Not super excited about any new shows, really, but,
Bones"”want it to develop into something solid, compelling each week
Invasion"”sounds potentially creepy and fun
Supernatural"”was turned off on this from the beginning cause it's the WB and it just sounds generic and lame. But some of the previews made it sound interesting"”tapping into American folklore, urban legends like the X-Files did. Probably just not as subtle or smart, but...
Reunion"”could possibly develop into a good season-long mystery...
My Name is Earl"”looks like they're going for the feel of a fun indie-film comedy or Coen Brothers movie or something. Goofy, wacky like "Ed" was.
Night Stalker "”another X-Files wannabe. Hope it doesn't suck.
Most shows die a quick, painful death, so I hope at least a couple of these new ones stick around.
