The only new show I'm actually watching on a regular basis is How I Met Your Mother.
I like Commander in Chief, but there are so many other things on during the same time period. I really need to start watching Ghost Whisperer and Threshold.

The only new show I watch on a regular basis is Prison Break.
Saw the first two episodes of Invasion on a Saturday night. I actually wouldn't mind it on Saturday nights, but on a Wednesday? It's not a real Wednesday show.
Saw the first episodes of Ghost Whisperer and My Name is Earl. Liked Earl a lot, and didn't mind Whisperer. Just don't remember them at all.
How I Met Your Mother was okay the first show, but I didn't feel compelled to continue watching. Same goes for Hot Properties on Friday (which I only watched for Nicole Sullivan). Pretty bad pilot, but Suzanne Martin wrote some great Frasier episodes, so I might see what it's like in a week.
Bones was okay, but nothing stood out for me. Pretty bland pilot.
Everybody Hates Chris was funny, but I'm just not into weekly sitcoms anymore. Once you watch a quality comedy like Arrested Development, My Name is Earl or Scrubs, you find it hard to watch a show that's mainly aimed at the entire family.

Not really. Seems everything was as good as I expected it to be or as bad as I expected it to be.

Actually, I forgot about Kitchen Confidential and rightfully so. I taped the first two episodes. I watched half of the first episode, and thought it was okay, but nothing special. Second episode, I don't think I got through the first commercial break. I was way too bored by it, and didn't find it gripping at all. I was disappointed greatly.

The only new show I'm watching is Commander in Chief, which is very solid.
Otherwise, I live off Housewives, Boston Legal, and Comeback reruns.

I think the only new show I very much dont want to miss is Prison Break. Most of the new shows are crap except for Earl and Everybody Loves Chris just like Mr X said. Shoot me now since I have something in common with Mr X

Great, now I have to stop watching Prison Break.

The only new shows I'm watching on a regular basis now are Weeds (season finale tonight), Extras, My Name is Earl, and Everybody Hates Chris (didn't see last week's, though). I'd like to start Commander in Chief, but Tuesday is too packed. And I'm not willing to give up The Amazing Race.
I actually liked the first two episodes of Kitchen Confidential, but with all these cancellation rumors, I figured I better bail now before I get attached.
I was sorely disappointed with How I Met Your Mother, especially after all the buzz. I'll still watch it to see if it goes anywhere, but it's not a must-see for me now.
The only returning shows that haven't really disappointed me in any way are Arrested Development, Lost, and The Office. Family Guy has been good but had that one crappy episode. ER has been kind of dull. Alias has been expectedly unexciting.
Etc.

I'm watching Family Guy, The Simpsons, Everybody Hates Chris, and Lost on a regular basis.
I loved The Apprentice, but so far this season, I'm unimpressed.

The only two shows I keep up with so far this season are Nip/Tuck and Desperate Housewives. So far, I'm not too impressed with either of the 2 episodes unfortunately. I've been forgetting to watch Family Guy due to DH, I'll catch up on DVD though.
I have a whole load of stuff I want to catch up on, rentals I guess. (Lost, Arrested Development, Alias...  )

only good new shows are Prison Break, My Name Is Earl, and Everybody Hates Chris. The rest are very dull or very stupid.
Arrested Development, Lost, and The Office are the best returning shows.

I've enjoyed "How I Met Your Mother." It's a good mix of heart and humor.
"Prison Break" is very good as well. Riveting.
"Threshold" is also a bit of fun; the same could be said for "Killer Instinct."
"Ghost Whisperer" is better than expected. "Reunion" is decent. "Surface" is derivative but fun nonetheless.
I couldn't get into "Kitchen Confidential" or "Related." "Head Cases" was abominable. "Invasion" was a big dissapointment; it's incredibly dull.
"Everybody Hates Chris" is perhaps the most overrated show in years.
RETURNING SHOWS:
House has been great, as expected. It's the best thing on TV right now.
"Nip/Tuck" has been its gritty, wryly humorous self.
"The OC" has been fun, not nearly as bad as some may have you believe.
