I’m usually skeptical about new TV shows. I rarely will invest myself in a show if it’s new, simply because I don’t want to get attached to a program only to have it yanked by the network execs. I’d rather let a show catch a full head of steam before I start watching. I did the same thing with 24…I missed the first season, got caught up on DVD and became a huge fan (until last season, but that’s a different story). Same with LOST. Same with Survivor, Amazing Race, American Idol. Call me bandwagon, I don’t care. I don’t have the time to fool with newby shows.
Thanks to the glory of the worldwide web, I don’t have to wait a full season to catch the latest TV craze. Everybody’s been talking about Heroes and you can catch all the episodes online so I decided to give it a shot. I’m 4 episodes in and I’m hooked. I’m a sucker for character-driven sci-fi drama. Any of you watching this show? I hope to finish the other 5 episodes by the time it returns from hiatus Jan. 22. Good stuff.

I got Season 2 of The Andy Griffith Show from my big sis for Christmas. It contains my all-time favorite episode, The Pickle Story. I’ve seen it a thousand times, but it cracks me up every time. And Sunny and I just finished up Season 7 of our favorite show, Everybody Loves Raymond. Man, I miss that show.

I’ve been a huge LOST fan for the past two years, but I’m afraid the producers may have shot themselves in the foot by airing a six-episode mini seasonette in the fall and waiting nearly 3 months to air an original episode. In the coming weeks, 24, American Idol, Prison Break, and Heroes will all return. I’m afraid my favorite show will get lost amid all the hoopla. But I’ll be there Feb. 7th to find out what happens to Jack, Kate, Sawyer and the rest of the crew. Only one more month!

Hey there, Jason.

Heroes is great. I came in late, too, but a Sci-Fi marathon of the first episodes in November got me hooked. I’m looking forward to it and Lost returning soon.
I just watched Leno from last night and Masi Oka was on the show. He was entertaining.
Heroes rocks.I’m thinking about bailing on a lot of shows that I watch and just watch them when the season sets come out. I’d still watch the “watercooler” shows live, however.
Is Lost one of those shows?
At this point, yes. Since they are promising incredible stuff in the first three episodes back. But it’s on a short leash with me rightnow.
