So what new shows are you watching? What continuing shows are you continuing to watch?
So far the GF and I are watching and really enjoying Community, and we have Glee and Dollhouse DVR'd and ready to watch.
The writing for Community is really snappy and fast-paced and peppered throughout with pop cultural references. And Joel McHale, Chevy Chase and Danny Pudi are really stellar when it comes to that snappy dialog.

The Big Bang Theory. The least mindless out of all the mindless sitcoms that we can watch.

Thank god Community has a mind then. Seriously, it's really good for a sitcom.
Honestly though, I watched two episodes of Big Bang Theory and didn't really like it, but everyone seems to rave about it. So maybe I'm missing something here.
Also, a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine is watching NCIS. And while I thought the new season premier was decent (plus Cote de Pablo was looking extra nice in this ep,) the spin-off, NCIS: Los Angeles, with Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J, tried to hard to be different than the original, and thereby failed.

I got into NCIS last year, but not on a regular basis.
Monday night Heroes is my drug. Unfortunately due to my schedule I must now set a timer to remind myself that it's on. I enjoyed the premier, but I'm not too sure of the new storylines (I though Hiro was dying from time-travelling, but apparently he has to do it now to survive?) and characters (not a fan of Gretchen, but the Irishmen seem kind of cool) and it's obvious around what object this season will revolve around.

Hmmm. I honestly gave up on Heroes halfway through season 2, and nothing I've seen or heard since then has made we want to go back. What keeps you watching?
Also, finally watched the first ep of Dollhouse lastnight (we had it DVR'd.) I have to say, if this is how it's going to be I may stop watching this as well. I don't care how much I like looking at Eliza, I think putting her in skimpy outfits or negligee week after week gets really old. Not to mention, Dushku is not exactly what I'd call a stellar actress. I mean come ON Whedon, you excel at ensemble casts, why not focus more on the other folks. After all, it's Dollhouse, not Echo's Slutty Dress-up Hour. :rolleyes:

I haven't given up on Heroes yet, but unfortunately they moved the time to 8:00 and I don't get home until 8:45 on Mondays. :( Thank goodness for the Internet! Honestly though the last couple of seasons have been a disappointment and this season isn't looking much better. What happened to the awesomeness of the first season?
