So I have been still watching the following new shows:
Pushing Daisies
Bionic Woman
Gossip Girl
Reaper
Chuck
I have already wrote about how I like Gossip Girl. Pushing Daisies has quickly become a quirky hit in my books. The production and the set designs are gorgeous to look at while the many characters from Chuck (another Chuck?) to Olive to Ned have great personalities and tremendous chemistry with each other.
I am close to giving Bionic Woman the heave-ho. The characters on the show do too many bone-headed things and there are just too many holes in the storylines. I am a fan of Lucy Hale, the younger sister of Bionic Woman, but I am not a fan of much anything else.
Bionic Woman, Reaper, and Chuck all suffer from the scared mentality of networks these days. Too many networks are afraid of creating serialized shows, because it is hard for new viewers to join plus a lot of money is lost if these shows become syndicated.
Reaper is getting repetitive with the find-the-lost-soul every episode. Ray Wise absolutely kills as Satan, but this show is losing steam after such a good premise.
Chuck is all over the place. I do enjoy this one, except I really am annoyed by Chuck's friend Morgan. He is simply not that funny. I will also vomit in my shoe, a gross proposition, if Morgan and Chuck's sister start dating each other. I mean the show can't get rid of Captain Awesome can they? Chuck also suffers from one off episodes. I wish they could pull everything together by introducing a big baddie to give the show a bit more direction.
Maybe all three of these shows could take a page out of House's book. House manages to tackle different patients every episode, yet there is a running storyline from episode to episode. If only Reaper, Chuck, and Bionic Woman could have some of the witty dialogue that makes House such a joy to watch.
Of the three new ones, I think I will stick with Chuck for longer than the others. My excitement is judged by which shows I want to watch immediately off of my PVR. Reaper and Bionic Woman are the episodes that I always have left over.

Rob I think you like Chuck cause the girl in chuck is hotter than the other shows... just a thought :)
Dude... what happened to "How I met your Mother"? Did it drop off your list? I still think this show is a riot. Great writing and excellent characters!
My other favs this season so far:
Reaper - Surprisingly fun and funny. Love the Devil! Plus it's filmed in Van.
Gossip Girl - never have time to watch but the wife keeps me up to speed as it's one of her favs (along with Brothers & Sisters and The Hills... the other guilty pleasures).
Big Shots - a bit of a roller coaster ride... lots of ups and downs... good shows and lame shows... but I love the guy banter on the golf course.
House - still a fav b/c Hugh is terrific. Lose the newbies and bring back the old team (and more Wilson please!)
Shark - James Woods is a close second behind Hugh Laurie in the role of a loveable asshole.
Heroes and Bionic Woman - get your act together or else!

Stewart... she is hotter than many of the other ladies. She looked especially good in the Princess Leia outfit the other night.
Cam: As you can tell I am behind in my discussions. Volleyball season wraps up next week so should be able to comment some more.
I am two episodes behind in Reaper.
Kerri and I love Gossip Girl.
Didn't bother with Big Shots.
House is terrific. I fully agree that there needs to be more Wilson.
Haven't watched a single episode of Shark.
Bionic Woman: You can tell I am not crazy about it, because I have two episodes backlogged.
Heroes: Ugh. I was just thinking today that I may just have to wait for this season on DVD. A viral outbreak disaster in New York? New York again? Boring.
How I Met Your Mother: Monday's episode was so-so. Last week's was good. But it is not the best comedy on TV.
