I really liked 'til death. I thought it was very funny, and I watched it with my parents when I was home visiting and watched them shoot each other little looks showing me the show was pretty accurate.
 
Knights of Prosperity is the one that really surprised me. I know the title is awful, but it's about a bunch of losers who plan to rob Mick Jagger's apartment.

Donal Logue (Tao of Steve and Grounded for Life) is the star... It's really funny...
 
Donal. No d.

I'm looking forward to giving Heroes and Jericho tries. I added Studio 60 to my Tivo list last night.

I may be one of the only Americans in this country who very likely won't see a single one of these shows, or any other on network TV. It's kind of like church. If you've gotten burned out of going, it's like pulling teeth to get you to go back.

That being said, if I did watch any show, it might be Studio 60.
 
I haven't heard of like seven of the shows Mizzou listed.
I've set the Tivo to record the pilots of Heroes and Jericho, just to check them out and Studio 60 is set for the season.
I'm hoping for an hour-long version of Sports Night, with some of the buddy banter from the Sorkin-written episodes of West Wing.
And I'll have to track down "Knights."
What network and night is it on?
Me likey, likey the Donal guy. Made an excellent turn as the cabbie in the MTV spots, plus the Tao of Steve is one of my favorite movies.
 
Mizzou, how the hell do you see all these shows by the second week of Sept? Have they all premiered already?

I thought Til Death would be better than it was, but there was some good chemistry between the couples, so I'll probably try it again. But if better hurry and get good, since I think it runs against My Name Is Earl.

Studio 60 looks REALLY good.
 
Tivo has had "special premieres" for a couple of the shows. I'm also occasionally able to get my grimy little paws on the screener copies of shows that they send out to critics and whatnot... I actually have Jericho at home, but haven't had a chance to watch it...

How the hell do you get these 'special premieres?'
 
Heroes looks interesting. Though, I think it's more for the comic book junkies who wonder what their super power would be if they had one.

Check your Tivo messages... I found out by accident, but that's how I saw The Class and Shark...
 
I got Studio 60 from Netflix ... outstanding pilot. Whitford and Perry have a Sports-Nighty rapport, with Perry delivering some very sweet lines.

Does Heroes premier next Monday as well as Studio 60? The two new shows I'm going to give a try this fall and they both have debut against the Steelers' playing on MNF? I know the VCR will help me out with this, but damn I hate having to wait another day or two to see those shows.
 
Here's the new network lineups with premiere dates.

Tuesday is gonna be a ***** again, especially when The Shield returns. Speaking of the Shield, great, great season coming on that.

Friday Night Lights is pretty decent. Thankfully, they focus a good deal more on the relationships between the characters and a little less on football. At least from the first two episodes, that's what I got.

I haven't seen much of Heroes, but I've got a friend who has gone all the way through. It starts out great, but somewhere around mid-year, it starts to slide. Guy said there are simply too many characters to keep up with.

I liked Studio 60 the best. Although, I think "The Nine" might be right there. Should be another solid, solid hit for ABC.

Second tier: "Kidnapped," but it's close to a first-tier label. Good show. "Ugly Betty," also pretty good.

Really suck it up shows: Men in Trees. Justice. (Justice is so bad it's just painful. Really hate it for Victor Garber. Guy does his best, but it's not nearly enough.)
