I've spent a decent part of this week parked in front of the television checking out new shows and starting the new season with a few others. Monday was the return of Heroes. Watching the premiere brought me right back into that universe as if I'd never left. The premiere took place 4 months after the 1st season finale. This is definitely a show I won't miss.
I stuck around to watch Journeyman after that. I really like the premise but it's something that's been done before (e.g., Quantum Leap). I'll probably give a couple more episodes and decide on whether to keep watching. One thing that is nice about it is that it will have self-contained episodes and not serialized like Heroes or Lost. So if there is nothing better on at 9 pm on Mondays, I can watch it without being out of the loop.
Tuesday night was Beauty and the Geek. Don't have much to say about it. It's a popcorn show for me, just something that's fun to watch. I missed Reaper and will have to try and catch that one online or something.
Come February, Wednesday nights are going to be tough. I watched the premiere of Bionic Woman and I liked it quite a bit. I'm interested to see where it goes. But it's on at the same time as what Lost was last season as well this season starting in February I'm guessing. Will definitely have to DVR one and watch the other. Although NBC is getting better about putting their shows online while ABC has been doing it for a couple seasons now.
This evening, I just finished watching the season premiere of The Office. It was an hour long episode and there were quite a few stories going on in this one. This show only gets better by the season.
I'm really pumped for Sunday night. It's the premiere of Dexter on Showtime. I can't wait for that one. That's probably the one I've been looking forward to the most.
So that's my fall TV season so far.

I know it was on Sunday night and it's been a few weeks since I last posted but I just want to say "WOW!" about the finale of Dexter. This amazing show is probably my favorite new show and quite possibly my favorite one overall right now. I'd have to say it beats out Lost and Heroes and I love both of those. I'm sad to see the 12-episode season end already. My next step is to find the book it's based on, Darkly Dreaming Dexter, and probably go ahead and pick up the 2nd one, Dearly Devoted Dexter, that the 2nd season to come will supposedly be based.
Michael C. Hall more than deserves the Golden Globe for Best Actor. If you haven't taken the time to watch this show, hopefully you've got Showtime On Demand to go back and watch all of them.
