Any particular reason why you just care about Thursdays?
Survivor!
Curiously enough, the quality of the program has absolutely nothing to do with why I watch ER, nor is it because of the presence of any particularly lovely ladies (which, you can probably guess, is the sole reason why I watch Mad Men). I watch ER because I have this unusual fascination with the notion of a prime time television series that has lasted for fifteen years despite a wholesale replacement of the original cast. I can't think of any other series that has ever pulled that off, off the top of my head; certainly not one that's lasted that long.Due to changing TV habits, it's been several years since I've watched any new shows. Consequently, I'm mostly looking forward to old favorites -- The Simpsons, South Park, ER (which has really dropped off in recent years, but I've always watched it and so feel compelled to see it through the final season). I would be looking forward to Dexter, but one TV show isn't reason enough for me to pay for Showtime so that will have to wait for DVD.
If you're talking about Law & Order, I never watched it. But, TTBOMK, the original show did not replace one hundred percent of its original cast during the lifespan of the show, like ER did. Hell, ER replaced its original cast wholesale, and has continued to air for, like, four years after that.What about the show that used to be immediately before it, and spawned at least 3 spinoffs, and seems to be the entire basis for TNT's existence when sports aren't on?

The original show has definitely replaced one hundred percent of the original cast, by 1999 I believe. And most of the second group is also gone, the only long time hanger on from the second wave is Waterston and he dramatically changed roles last season.If you're talking about Law & Order, I never watched it.

the season premier of ER sucked
and I really need to start watching Mad Men and Always Sunny. And when exactly does Dexter start up again?
JAGwhat Got You Started Watching Ncis?
I can't speak for anyone else... What draws me to Pushin' Daisies is not unlike what draws me to Mad Men. If that's not clear enough, double-check my list in the Babe Draft.I don't get the appeal of pushin' daisies....
it's only a matter of time before someone makes a "Friday's Season Premiers" thread, and so forth and so on. And that would just be chaos, and/or stupid.
