    So, what do you guys think now that we are half way through the Fall Season?


    Heroes is good, but it's pulling the slow and steady trick again. Not to mention we are back to the whole save the world from apocalypse story arc. I am liking certain aspects of it, but some of the arcs are boring. And the save the world aspect feels similar to last season.

    Chuck! I really hope this show continues. It has all the elements, Humor, Action, Relationships, a likable guy, a hot chick and Adam Baldwin.... The more I watch this, the more I want to see.

    Journeyman.... I wasn't sure about this at first, but I've stuck with it and I like the story lines. The whole scientist calling him in the past was a really interesting twist that we have yet to fully understand. I hope this doesn't get canceled, although I wouldn't be surprised if it does. Oh, and am I the only one that thinks ex-girlfriend is following him for the same reason she follows others? Something is going to happen to him and he is going to need her help.

    Reaper.... What can I say, I wanted to like this. I continue to watch it, but it is really starting to feel like a second rate Chuck. They really need to step up the inter-relationships between the characters because at this point I am getting tired of the same old, same old every episode. At least the humor is good.

    Pushing Daisies..... I'm digging this show, but then again I like the last two things this guy did. I just hope middle America is able to get it. I would hate to see it canceled early like his last two offerings. Oh and Blondie, Kristin Chenoweth is from Oklahoma and was an original member of the Broadway Musical, Wicked. She was in FHM to boot.

    Jericho? Where the heck is it?

    Lost.... I can't wait to get into this.....

    Ghost Hunters.... Good stuff this season and don't forget to Tivo the live 6 hour show tonight on SciFi. 8pm-2am CST if I remember correctly.

    We are about 6 episodes in for most shows. Most seasons on network TV are 22 episodes so we are only about 1/4 of the way through man, not half way.

    I downloaded this from last year and never watch most of it, too long. It is a cool concept but drags out. Not worth Tivo space for sure but downloading it is cool.

    I am behind on most shows now. Journeyman and Bionic Women I only seen the first 2, liked both. Pushing dasies I only seen the first one. Looked weird enough to keep watching. I only seen the first two of Reaper, was cool but I already seen the same old same old in it. I will keep watching.

    Chuck is one I am keeping up with. I love it. I watch it for the chick's wow! 🙂

    I am downloading all the ones I am missing and will catch up soon I hope.

    I was also wondering where in the hell is Jericho? Great show.

    I'm still watching, but not loving it the way I did last season. I'm not sure they can ever repeat what they did there. I haven't seen any cheerleaders come to life while vivisected on a morgue slab, and no cut open, empty heads this year so far. . .most of the plot lines are boring, but that may change soon. You're not the first to notice the similarity between last season and this season.

    Other ppl have said the same thing, and I agree. Reaper started out stronger, but fell in quality with the second episode. Chuck started OK - in a way, the best five minutes of the show was the first five minutes, too bad Bryce wasn't our hero - but it has built from there. The only really good thing Reaper has going for it now is the devil, and he's great. I'm kinda disliking the "this is the vessel of the week, and no, I'm not gonna tell you how to use it."


    Journeyman.... I wasn't sure about this at first, but I've stuck with it and I like the story lines. The whole scientist calling him in the past was a really interesting twist that we have yet to fully understand. I hope this doesn't get canceled, although I wouldn't be surprised if it does.

    I broke Paladin's rule and dropped it after the first episode. The guy looks disturbingly like Anthony Michael Hall, but far worse, the story and the character annoyed me.


    Pushing Daisies..... I'm digging this show, but then again I like the last two things this guy did. I just hope middle America is able to get it.

    I'm downloading Daisies, haven't watched it yet.

    Oh lord, why? I don't for a SECOND believe a damned thing they show me is ever gonna be real(the same channel brought us John Edwards), and it's boring to watch as a drama.

    Paladin, aren't those 22 episodes usually divided betwen Fall and Spring? So, that would mean 11 episodes for Fall with 6 down, leaving half of the FALL season left.

    I could be wrong, but I thought that was why Lost decided to air everything in the Spring instead of breaking it up.

    Also don't forget all the shows that only do 13 episodes a season, like Dexter, the IT Crowd, Hell's Kitchen, etc, etc.

    Some similarities it feels a bit slower than last time and a lot of see through plots.. though last week was a nice little twist with some disturbing facts for the cheerleader.. like life eternal. A few changes from last to make the story fit this year.. creative license and all I am sure. Like changing the cheerleaders power from reattachment to lizard regen and allowing more than one person to have the same powers and family to boot.

    Great show.. loving it.. a bit of humour and a generous helping of cheese, not to mention a new dose of serious plot.

    The ex-gf is the helpdesk always keeping the main on track.Its a good last and like the other two of the night let loose some great plot intrigues at last.

    I'm still watching Chuck, Heroes, Journeyman, and Life and enjoying all of them. Heroes is moving a bit slow, but that's ok. The Office is pretty good so far, but not the gut-hurting awesome of last season.

    I didn't realize until last week that this was the last season of Scrubs. That's ok as they seem to be having less fun and more "life lessons" this season.

    Still digging Chuck.... Last weeks episode was awesome! Really plugged a big hole with the old roomie, but opened some wounds with the hottie.

    Heroes picked up for me and has me intrigued again. I am to the point where I can't tell who is bad and who is good. That's kind of frustrating.

    Have 2 episodes of Journeyman to catch up on, but I am digging it.

    Now, let's talk Reaper. It's like they are reading this forum. The last two episodes mixed things up, changed the way the plot line unfolded and gave us more character interaction. I'm loving the cussing and Sock! I hope it keeps this up.

    Now for the bad news, just when things were getting good, the writers go on strike and all script work stops. Expect things to come to a grinding halt soon as most scripts aren't written or finalized until a few weeks before air.

    Is it me or is Chuck really getting good? Man, I really am digging this show.

    At first, I was kind of disappointed with this Heroes episode, but once it was done, I was glad they filled in a lot of the missing holes. I'm still confused about who is good and who is bad. Here is my theory.

    The whole Adam thing is a setup. Adam is really evil and Bob works for Adam. They knew Peter wouldn't join them willingly, so they used Adam as a way to get Peter to help them even if he didn't know it.

    Oh and I may have said this before, but the last two episodes of Reaper have been great. They mixed up the formula. I hope tonights episode is as good.

    Any sighting of Jericho?
