Thursday’s Season Premiere’s

Ryan

I like turtles
Which ones are you watching, recordting, etc?

My buddy works for Survivor, so I'm going for that and then recording The Office
 
My Name is Earl, The Office, and ER for me on thursdays.

Mainly ER because its finally ending, might as well watch it as I've been off and on in the past few years.

The Office is easily the funniest show on TV and I am really hoping they have a strong start to this season just like last.

I'm watching Fringe as well, but so far find it sort of disappointing. Of course I can't wait for Lost and 24 to return. Desperate Housewives looks to have completely jumped the shark though, if it already hadn't.

My favorite new show of the season would have to be Worst Week. If you haven't seen the pilot, watch it on CBS.com or something. It is absolutely hilarious.

While I'm talking about CBS, check out How I Met Your Mother. It is the very best unwatched show on TV right now. The late 00's Arrested Development if you will.
 
It premiered last week (and I almost deleted thinking it was a repeat) but Supernatural is my favorite Thursday show.
 
Well, I'm going to no-sell the little Thursday qualifier, partly because I just want to, and partly because, otherwise, 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. So, instead, I'll just copy/past something I posted elsewhere:

Ever since I first got a DVR, I've made it a rule to never watch anything other than sporting events live (And, if it's not the Kings or the Monarchs, I may not even watch that live). But, here's what I've got on my DVR schedule:

Monday: Big Bang Theory, HIMYM, Chuck, 2.5 Men, Heroes, WWE RAW
Tuesday: E:60, NCIS, WWE ECW
Wednesday: Bones, Pushing Daisies, 'Til Death, Private Practice, Dirty Sexy Money
Thursday: Grey's Anatomy, ER, Mad Men, TNA Impact
Friday: Life, WWE Smackdown
 
Monday: Big Bang, HIMYM, Chuckm Prison Break
Tuesday: House, Fringe
Wednesday:
Thursday: My name is Earl (getting tired of it though), The Office, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Friday: Numb3rs
Sunday: Amazing Race, Cold Case

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.

However, cute girls have made me curious to check out both Mad Men and Life this year. And I recently discovered that Jayne Cobb... or, rather, Adam Baldwin, is one of the stars on Chuck, so I think I might start watching that one, too.
 
since this whole dish thing is fairly new, i'm not sure of days.
DVR set up to record:

Eureka
Heroes
Stargate Atlantis
NCIS
Bones
House
all CSI's
stargate sg1(there were a few i missed while not having anything but rabbit ears)


there are a few others, but those are the main ones. must remember to add Supernatural and Cold Case...also want to check out My Own Worst Enemy

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.
 
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 only thing I really make a special effort to watch is Kings games. Other than that, I also record new Top Gear episodes on the BBC channel. I tend to look at shows on Discovery and the History Channel on a case-by-case basis, and record stuff like Modern Marvels, Mega Disasters, Engineering an Empire, Mega Movers, etc. I try to catch some 49ers game time now and then, but I am usually busy on Sundays and really don't like watching old games. If a NASCAR race is on, we will watch that as well.

Of course there are other things I watch too, but these are the ones I go to with any real frequency.

If I am just flipping through channels, often there is something entertaining on G4 (Cops or Ninja Warrior). :p

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.

Especially fascinating considering that most of the people I know who watch it, myself included, haven't really liked it in a few years. The show has just been on so long that it's become habit.

If not for Noah Wyle sticking around for so long, much longer than that. Clooney left ten years ago and everyone else followed within the next couple of years.

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.

I'll take your word for it; NCIS is the closest I'm ever going to get to watching a "cop drama" (unless Psych counts as a "drama.") Like I said, it was off the top of my head.
 
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?
 
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.

True! We wouldn't want the same types of threads filling up the forums....
 
You need to take that up with the guy running that; you didn't see anything like that during the album draft...
