small screen review

I know that I always talk about movies, but I have to admit that I like TV just as much. I thought it might be interesting to go through my list of regulars and give a review of some of the newbies for this season.

Now, just bear in mind (before you wonder if I have a life) that I do not stay at home and watch TV all night -- I have a DVR through the cable company so I record it and catch up whenever I can. I'm telling you, the DVR is worth every penny of the extra $10 a month it costs (plus I record movies and have access to OnDemand).

Shows I Love
24
Entourage
Lost
Grey's Anatomy
How I Met Your Mother
The Office
The Sopranos

Shows I Like
Big Love
Desperate Housewives
My Name is Earl
Prison Break
Smallville (the Green Arrow storyline looks interesting)
Supernatural
The Unit
What About Brian (this may go below if it doesn't turn soon)

Shows that have been on but I just started watching and they're pretty decent
Veronica Mars
Battlestar Galactica

Shows that have either jumped the shark or suck, yet I still watch
Gilmore Girls
ER
Las Vegas
Ghost Whisperer
Nip/Tuck

New shows that I really like
Heroes
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
Six Degrees

New shows that I kind of like and am still "trying out"
Jericho
30 Rock
The Nine

New shows that I tried but didn't like
Justice (lawyers are too arrogant)
Friday Night Lights (I'm over high school stuff)
Vanished (bo-ring)
The Class (too desperate to be Friends)
Runaway (painful-to-watch couple mis-match)

New shows that I liked but have already been canceled
Smith
Kidnapped

Holy crap, this is a lot of TV. I didn't realize how much I watch until I typed this list out (a few of the "love" shows aren't even on the air right now so that helps...a little). What are some of the shows you like?

Btw, Izzie's a dumbass.
