So, you're still kicking yourself over missing out on Lost last season?
Remember that feeling when you didn't start watching 24 until hour 8 and felt like an ass?
Here's your chance to forget all of that. Far too many new shows are premiering soon, or have already premiered. There's no way they can all be good, and going with the odds almost every single one will be horrible (or horribly mediocre). So let everybody know what you think about the shows you've seen, maybe we can get some sort of consensus on what's worth checking out.
I'll start:
"My Name is Earl"-NBC-Tuesdays, 9 PM EST(One episode aired): Good enough sitcom. Premiere was funny, but I can see the premise getting stale very quickly. I imagine at least the first season will be worth watching, and it leads into the Office so you may as well turn on the TV a half hour early.
"Invasion"-ABC-Wednesdays, 10 PM EST(One episode aired): I didn't like this one at all. It's Invasion of the Body Snatchers with an annoying family at the center of everything. It's got a paranoid brother, a skeptical main character, an annoying bitch of an ex-wife and her annoying evil asshole husband, and a little kid that I couldn't stand based on the commercials alone. Personally, I hate when children are given significant roles as a general rule because in a great majority of cases, children just can't act. I doubt I'll be watching this one much unless something huge changes in the next weeks. It comes on after Lost, and that's about as notable as this one gets.
"Bones"-Fox-Tuesdays, 8 PM EST(Two episodes aired): This one, based on the premiere, was just horrible. It's CSI with skeletons. Except the skeletons aren't doing anything. There's ridiculous technology, painfully stereotypical characters, and it just wasn't entertaining. The acting was subpar, the direction was laughable with generic camera angles and music that made no sense whatsoever. If anybody actually managed to watch the second episode and noticed some dramatic change, let us know.
