Started watching Covert Affairs this year (caught up to date on first two years via Netflix and DVR). Beyond that DVR Mentalist, Leverage, Castle, Tosh.0, Soup. Will start The League soon once season 2 becomes available on Netflix. Anything else I'm missing that I should be watching.
Covert Affairs is one of my favorite shows.

Out of all of the shows that were brand new that my wife and I gave a shot, we still watch:

New Girl
Person of Interest
Up All Night
Last Man Standing
Once Upon a time


Tried and did not stick with Suburgatory, 2 Broke Girls, Terra Nova.

We watched Terra Nova up until like 2 weeks ago, missed 1, then missed another, and we both didn't really care.

I have a feeling Last Man Standing is going to be around for awhile. Tim Allen is sitcom gold.

You're probably right.

I hate the daughters, though...I think they are all horrible actresses, especially the oldest with the kid (who doesn't open her mouth when she talks), and the young tomboy girl.

That's pretty much the same exact thing that happened with me. The sad part is, it had potential. They just made it entirely too slow. Like I said before, too much story, not enough dinosaurs eating shit.

I hate giving new shows a shot simply because if I like it and expect it to return for a 2nd season and it doesn't I get mad and that is what happened with the show Lights Out. I really enjoyed it and I went to look up when it was coming back and I found out that it has been canceled.

I felt this way with Chicago Code and Detroit 1-8-7 last season.

Detroit 187 was awesome. I was pissed they didn't bring it back. I wasn't to big a fan of Chicago Code.

Hell on Wheels isn't bad but I'm pretty mad they killed off Ted Levine in the first show.

I will give Alcatraz a shot also.

So pissed about that. I really enjoyed season 1. Didnt realize the ratings were so poor until a few weeks ago when I also looked up when season 2 was starting.

Yeah, I just assumed with it being on FX that it would be back. I really don't know where they were going to go after the finale of season 1 but I was hoping it would come back none the less.

I noticed the last post to the Terra Nova thread was in October and it's now closed. Did anyone else watch the whole season?

Justified starts next week. I'm pretty pumped for that.

I plan on checking out a few new shows this week and next. Rob Schneider's show, Laura Prepon's (Donna from 70's Show) new show, and Alcatraz.

I gave up on Terra Nova after about 4 episodes.

What's on the agenda for winter premiers?

Not network tv, but I caught-up on Game of Thrones on HBO and thought it was pretty awesome. However my guess is it gets axed after Season 2 for budget reasons, just like Rome did.

I doubt that. It was up for a lot of Golden Globes last night, and got robbed imo. It has a lot of viewers and was a really successful season 1. The fans of the books might keep it going alone lol. Id expect HBO to keep it going.

Just started watching it. I like it so far after the pilot, will be caught up by next week. The main character is nice on the eyes, even if she does have the constellation Libra on her right cheek. </SPAN>

Decided to give Laura Prepon's new show (Are You There Chelsea?) a try. It's not too bad and I've also been watching Rob Schneider's self titled show. It's not that bad either. I was going through the guide and noticed Justin Long had a show on FX and thought I would watch it. I recorded it and finally watched it last night. It's animated and not that great. I would guess it will get canceled.

Did anyone watch The River last night? I recorded it but haven't watched it yet.
