Yeah, I plug several different shows but if you are not watching the following shows, you are seriously missing out:

Battlestar Galactica--very dark this year and brutally fascinating. If you have the SciFi channel, you gotta check it out. Hard to watch, beautiful characters and terrific writing.

Veronica Mars--I think I have said it all over the past year on this show, but it just keeps plugging along. Terrific show. And seriously, Veronica may be the coolest tv chick ever.

The Office--the infusion of Ed Helms into that show was genius. And tonight's episode is written by Ricky Gervais, so you will need to check it out.

Suprising Shows--Heroes is much better than I expected. Friday Night Lights--I have only watched 2 or 3 episodes but it is very well written and interesting.

Disappointments--I still like Lost, but it seems to be a little off and misguided this year. Studio 60 has its moments but it then gets lost in all of its self importance and crummy skits.

I am done.

Heroes? I've found that one fascinating as well.

I've really enjoyed Heroes to this point. It's kind of an x-men rip-off, but so far very enjoyable.

I wasn't too impressed at first, but I have to admit that it has sucked me in.

I haven't watched Heroes yet and would like to, but decided I'll wait til next Summer for Season 1 to come out on DVD.

Plus come January on Monday nights Prison Break and 24 will be on back to back and I simply won't watch 3 different shows in one night. Even I'm not that nerdy.

Prison Break was pretty good Monday. But what's up with Bellick? He's arrested, sentenced, and sent to Fox River to be the fat dude's bitch all in the space of one or two days? It actually couldn't have been more that a few hours from the time he made the plea to the time he was locked up. I found that timeline kind of amusing.

I actually missed the Fall Season finale so i don't know what happened yet.

Love Heroes.

And, I've now caught up on all previous seasons/episodes of Veronica Mars, so I can begin watching DVR'ed season 3. Great show.

oops, sorry for the spoiler. There was a pretty good twist at the end of Monday's episode. I'll go ahead and NOT tell you what happened.
