Survivor 19×01 – 19×03
OMG, I still hate Russell. I’m kind of bored with this season, actually. I don’t really like anyone (the two people I did find interesting they already voted out, but that piqued interest could just be the editing). It’s more like degrees of dislike/apathy. And yet, anyone wanna take [...]

NCIS 7×01: Truth or Consequences and 7×02: Reunion (minor spoilers)
I missed a bunch of last year, but I guess Ziva kinda liked a guy and Tony killed him, hopefully because he was a threat of some kind and not because he just didn’t like the guy. I liked his nod to Kate, [...]

I’m a week behind on these, but I wanted to get these up.
Dollhouse 1×13: Epitaph One and 2×01: Vows (SPOILERS)
1×13: Epitaph One
Wow, that was good. THAT is what I wanted from the show in the first place. The darkness, the mystery, the weight. It’s perfect. I hope the second season grabs some of that weightiness. [...]

Great opening to the new season of Fringe, and gives me hope that it will improve on last year greatly. I am easily swayed by alternate universes, but the little hints and bits of information we’re getting through normal character interaction are now meaningful (like Peter’s concern that his father is watching him sleep – [...]

Family Guy 8×01: Road to the Multiverse
How did Family Guy know alternate universes were my favorite thing ever? Aside from the one where everything is 1000 years more advanced because Christianity never existed (seriously, I love the show, but does it have to take potshots at Christianity in almost every episode?), almost all the others [...]

And my DVR begins its protests against abuse and overwork. I’m trying to cut down this year, really I am, but I think what’s going to happen (again) is I start off watching way too much and then shows will fall off as the season goes on. At least this year I already have a [...]

I am not going to live-blog American Idol this year, for a number of reasons, the most compelling of which is that most people who read and enjoyed the live-blogging are now seeing the show three hours before me (even if I don’t timeshift, and I probably will), so it wouldn’t really be live.
But that’s [...]

Now that most shows have had a few weeks to get going, let’s see how the must-watch lists are playing out. Spoilers for all aired episodes are likely.
Obsessing/Loving
These are the shows that a) get watched almost immediately, b) I anticipate every week, c) I whole-heartedly love every episode whether it deserves it or not.
Chuck
