Thursday Night Lineup

It's been a while since I've written about TV. Couple of random thoughts:

-- in my humble opinion, DirtySexyMoney is the runaway winner of this new season. I am *really* glad I stuck with this one; I'm in hook, line and sinker. It's got a great premise and a very strong cast and I think it hasn't quite yet reached its potential. If you haven't watched, I would give you a window of two or thee weeks before the plot layers become to complex.

-- Thursday night lineup is still the strongest, simply based on the strenth of the Office and 30 Rock. That said, it definitely needs a strong drama in the 10-11 pm slot (9-10 for my central standard friends) ala what ER was back in the day. I'd love to see DirtySexyMoney moved into this slot.

-- Tuesday night's are very much on the heels of Thursday, though, and will probably surpass it once American Idol kicks off. House and Boston legal are a terrific combination and I still stand by my statement that pound-for-pound, Boston Legal is still the best show on TV.

-- Friday nights are pretty solid too with Friday Night Lights (haven't watched yet Finkel, but I promise I will get to it) and Vegas.

-- And for the record, I gave up on Dancing with Stars (sort of) and don't get Gossip Girl, which is The Wife's favorite show of all-time, short of Laguna Beach and The Hills (I think my wife aspires to be a 19 year old SoCal girl).

Any important shows I am missing?

-- For all you 24 fans out there, I strongly urge you to rent or download season one and two of Showtime's Sleeper Cell. It is totally and completely off the hook.

You forgot the best part about Thursday nights: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Along with 30 and Office, hands down the funniest 1.5 hours on TV.

i am digging on Dirty Sexy Money.
and was into Dancing with the stars. and i personally love Private practice and Grey's anatomy. i don't get tons of TV time this season though, wasting time blogging or reading but TiVo is helping me keep up with these shows. and i barely make it to watch those. i did catch Samantha who? and thought it was semi funny too with potential. girl shows? perhaps. i haven't seen gossip girl. like i said wasting time in other pursuits.
