thought I'd get into heroes...but can't. liked the first season of Lost, but it died for me early in season 2. Just don't want to know about Locke, Jack Sawyer or Kate, the other characters are way more interesting. I did watch episode six of season three... naturally, but then got annoyed knowing they wouldn't pursue the :"what happened to Kate's hubby after she left?" Also watched the last two eps, and enjoyed them. Charlie was one of the few characters I liked.loved first 5 eps of Ugly Betty, then it sort of went flat. she's not really ugly is she? she's not even plain. maybe it should be called "Ordinary Betty", or "Just like everybody else Betty." Life is the only new show I like. I'd love to see a show where all of the characters are played by ordinary looking actors.(I'm an idealist)

Like a couple other people around here, I'm not a big TV watcher. For some reason, I just can't get into hourlong series. I was actually enjoying Drive before SOMEONE decided to cancel it. And the one show I AM watching this season, Reaper, is failing miserably in the ratings.

Most of my TV watching is confined to cartoons (King of the Hill, South Park, Metalocalypse), documentary shows (Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, The History Channel), or sitcoms (How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men).

Aside from King of the Hill I'm pretty much boycotting that certain TV network.

I'm guessing you were a fan of THE SOPRANOS, then. I read in an article that one of the great things about THE SOPRANOS was that they weren't afraid of casting people who looked like they fell off the back of a truck. And you have to admit that the series has good looking people on it, but they're more average looking than fashion model type.

And if you live in Canada or the U.K., then any housewife will guide you towards CORONATION STREET. For the unenlightened, it is the longest running British soap opera with one of the worst theme songs ever. And pretty much most of the cast is between average looking and butt ugly.

The Office is played by ordinary looking actors--I think lots of the people on the show were actually writer that they just had fill the desks for the first few episodes and it worked for them.

As far as popular shows I watch (and I watch tons of TV): My Name is Earl, The Office, Deadliest Catch, Heroes, Law and Order SVU. But the stuff I'm most guilty about is all the Celebreality on VH1. Hmmm...I can't beleive I even admitted that.

Honestly, I'd give up most any of these shows for more Firefly.
