I feel like I sounded really bitter in my summary of Heroes. I will talk about one show that I am fully enjoying.
House! What a great premise interviewing different candidates. It was great to see the crew from last year (Cameron, Chase, and Foreman!). What I didn't buy in this week's episode is House letting the one girl (I have no idea what her name is) off the hook for her mistake. What a cop out for the writers. They can't write her off because she is too pretty. I am sure she will become a regular on the show. What I hate is knowing that Kal Penn has already signed on for more episodes, so he is pretty much going to make the cut as well.
Touching moment of the night? House saying "I love you" to Cuddy. What a great dynamic between these two characters. Also, I chuckled when both of these guys were show to give an extra sideways glance as they watched Cuddy in a skirt walking away from them down the hallway.
My Name is Earl:
This show can be infantile, juvenile, silly, and tends to tie up many plots with deus ex machina, and other contrived coincidences. However, I fully enjoy this show. There is something just feel good about the show. I like how the writers manage to mock all of the characters, yet they show a human side to each of them. The line between comedy and karma works for me. This season's interesting twist has Earl in jail. Again, network TV has come a long way. The third episode showed two guys kissing and I don't think there was a mention of it anywhere, which I think is a good indication that people are becoming a bit more relaxed out there. Remember the brouhaha in the infamous Seinfeld "Contest" episode? They couldn't even say the word that they wanted to say.
Where was I? My Name is Earl features great work by the entire cast and is good for a chuckle or so.

ah, House. i missed you. i almost have as many laugh out loud moments from this show as i do from The Office. that Tribal council scene and his blue bandana was hilrious. also, his nicknames/insight. amazing. but then he had to go and piss me off with the knife in the socket thing that lead to the death of his patient. grrr. and yes, they do hire the hot chick. i won't tell you who else, but you can easily find out. as an old Stargate SG1 fan, i really have liked seeing the old non-doctor guy on the show.
The old man is enjoyable. Good call on the Stargate reference. I did like how it was ambiguous whether or not House experienced the after life or not.
