What I am Watching - Mid Season

Early October I wrote about the shows I had listed on DVR. I thought at Mid-season I would comment on those that I wrote about and include any new ones I discovered on the way.

Monday

How I met your mother
I thought it was ok in the beginning and I still do, but only ok. Worth enough to watch every week yet and keep it on DVR.

Two and a half men
Never watched this show but since it was on after Mother we started watching and I like this show. Charlie Sheen is funny in it and worth the time to watch it.
Out of Practice
Another show that is funny at times and OK to watch when DVR grabs it. It has Fonzie c'mon!

Tuesday

My name is Earl
Hands down the best comedy show out there right now. It is written smart and I think extremely funny. Probably the only comedy show on TV right now I would tell someone they should watch for sure.

The Office
Actually this is a show I don't watch or have scheduled on DVR. Why? I am not sure. It is funny and I like Steve Carrol. Maybe because it is too much like being at work and as opposed to Dilbert it just reminds me that soon I will be back to work.

Wednesday

Lost
Not watching this too? Then go away Hethen! Great show! The one I look forward to every week.

Invasion
This show I have continued to watch for two reasons. One it is on after Lost. Two, I have DVR it records it. Saying that the show isn't bad, just slow moving. Until the last two episodes that is. Those were great and finally I am looking forward to new ones...but the survival of the show doesn't look too good. Who knows, the second half of the year may keep up the pace of the last two and it can turn into a big hit.

Thursday

Smallville
Good strong year. Alot less WB'ish. Some clever allusions to Comics such as AC (Aquaman who's real name is Arthur Curry) who wants Clark to join him in the Junior Lifeguard Association (JLA - Justice League of America), Tom Wopat guest starring and he goes through the open window of his car while telling Jonathan Kent (John Schneider) that the door is stuck and cannot be opened, and of Lex Luthor having a near death experience and seeing how his life could turn out if he did the right things(He has a son named Alexander. In the comics the alternate universe where a good Lex Luthor was had a son named Alexander)

Friday

Threshold
Actually when this comes back from hiatus it will be on Tuesdays. This show is ok. I'll watch it but if it got cancelled...oh well I won't be crying about it.

Sunday

Desperate Housewives
Still very good. Still watch. Still like.


One other mention was Night Stalker on ABC. Not horribly bad but it is cancelled already. Biggest problem I had was that no matter how many freaky supernatural events happen to the main Female lead (granted this was like 6 shows but still) she never believed in the next show that there might be freaky supernatural things in the world.

So thats my list of stuff (not counting the other cable shows I had listed in the old one since they won't be back til next month.
