Our most competitive night!  It truly is Must See TV.

7:00

The Big Bang Theory – A lot of nerds don’t like this show, thinking it always goes for the easy jokes about them and their nerd culture.  I disagree.  Consistently one of the funniest shows on TV.

Community – A pop culture cornocopia that brings the funny every week.  Plus, it has Annie’s Boobs.

My Generation – This will be cancelled by the end of October. Didn’t even make it the end of September.

Bones – The gang is brought back together to fight crime.  Again, the relationships between the characters trumps the case of the week.

7:30

$#*! My Dad Says – I had originally planned on giving this a shot due to the goodwill William Shatner had built in Boston Legal (Denny Crane!), but that was before I saw a brief preview.  They should shut down Twitter just because it was the source material for this steaming pile of crap.

30 Rock – It is almost becoming fashionable to bash 30 Rock, saying it isn’t as good as it was during the early seasons.  Even if that is true, it still brings the funny more often than not.

8:00

The Office – Another aging show that may not be as good as it once was, but still brings something to the table.  The departure of Steve Carrell this season, and how he is replaced, will be interesting to watch.

Grey’s Anatomy – Yes, it is a soapy relationship show masquerading as a medical drama, but it is an entertaining one.

Fringe – A shaky first season has given way to a solid sci-fi show that is exploring the multi-verse and the effects of crossing between dimensions.

Nikita – Another “reimagining” of La Femme Nikita.  It isn’t a great show, but it could hold some promise.

8:30

Outsourced – I get enough humor (if that is what you call it) out of outsourcing to India during the day, and this certainly didn’t give me any reason to continue watching it a night.  I lasted an episode and 1/4th.

9:00

The Mentalist – Another in a long line of CBS procedurals, but one which has the good fortune of starring Robin Tunney, the local girl done good who I’ve enjoyed since The Cradt and Empire Records.

Private Practice – The Grey’s spinoff.  Don’t judge me.
