The television program pickings are getting really slim these days. What are ya'll watching that would be worth a look? Anything you're excited about for next season?

If Nathan's show gets picked up that's it for next season. I haven't seen a damn thing worth watching next season.

After 24 gets done I'm not even watching Fox anymore. Still gonna watch Angel, CSI, ER, Scrubs and if Tremors gets another season that too. My Mom got me hooked on CSI and ER mainly because I have to tape them for her since she can't see them when they're on. There is just no quality television anymore.

I honestly haven't sat down in front of a television since Serenity aired. I take that back, I did watch the Jayhawks lose at a friends house a few weeks ago, but apart from that I've developed a pretty nasty allergy to television. 'Course my TV broke right after Firefly got cancelled so I haven't exactly had the choice, but I sure haven't had any incentive to replace it either.

Did it just leap off the stand and impale itself on your foot/fist/object thrown at it?

Just jokin' no harm intended.

Not sure, the very next friday after Serenity, at about 8:30, it just started smoking then let out this high pitch wail of agony. I think it just couldn't bear to go on. Can't say as I blame it.

Shows that I still watch are pretty scarce at the moment. I watch The Shield and Monk on cable but those are both in their periods of hiatus. Without a Trace is actually a surprisingly good procedural show. And they've so far managed to get by without using bad legalese to create false drama (looking at you Law & Order) and Anthony Lapaglia is quite good as the lead.

I've also started to watch Lucky on FX. Its a surprisingly good dramedy about a compulsive gambler/former world champion poker player. The second episode was an improvement on the pilot and Dan Hadeya seems to be a reoccuring character. I've also been watching Buffy, though my enjoyment has become less over the years. Some of the pilots for next season look promising but I'm not going to go out on a limb until I see the announcements (though Silvio Horta, who is sort of a poor man's Joss Whedon, has a pilot in the works for UPN that could be interesting).

"It looks like a great adventure...That's what it is; that's what it feels like. When I saw the pilot, it was really engaging. It was exciting. It was unusual. It threw me off every now and then. I think people will be grabbed by it." - Ron Glass, on the pilot, during an interview with the Indianapolis Star

Mal: "We're stilly Flying"

Simon: That isn't much.

Mal: Its enough.

I find myself not watching much conventional TV these days... mostly discovery channel and such.

Shows I watch:

American Chopper (best 'reality' series ever... actually, it may be the only good one ever...)

Buffy (four more episodes left)

Angel (man, what a crazy turn this show has taken...)

Everwood (reminds me of The Waltons...)

Gilmore Girls (love the dialog...)

Lizzie McQuire (Hillary Duff is going to be the biggest star in Hollywood, you just wait and see...)

I've started watching Lucky too and really like it. Even though I'd seen the commercials for it quite a few times, I laughed really hard at the jousting golf carts scene.

Other than that: 24, The Simpsons, Six Feet Under, SITC when it comes back, STTNG and That 70s Show.

Since Firefly went bye-bye, Buffy is the only show I watch religiously, and when that goes ... well, I'm just glad I have a DVD player and lots of horror movies. I do catch 24 and CSI when I don't have anything better to do, but ... TV's just seemed like a vast, pathetic wasteland after Firefly.
