Now they've added a 6 a.m. Buffy re-run to complement the 7 a.m. Buffy re-run. Enterprise is off to a swimming start this season, and ER is surprisingly rejuvenated. The new Buffy season seems quite interesting indeed, and Angel's season starts soon. Law and Order and NYPD Blue both show real promise, despite their advanced years. They seem to have gotten people on Animal Planet besides that charming Austro-American couple who keep fondling snakes and lizards. I admit it--I love the new television season, and my weekday evenings become absorbed with "what I am to watch now?". The shows are all daemons, ready to divert my attention, but I don't mind a bit of foolish consistency, provided the episodes are new. I'm still amazed, parenthetically, that Shannen Doherty would leave Charmed (and yet so pleased with Rose McGowan),
surprised that Smallville's plots still seem fresh, saddened that Jill Hennessey could be upstaged by David Caruso (note to Crossing Jordan writers: low rent Hannibal Lector subplots do not dramatic tension provide--small quirky, character-driven shows should be, well, quirky and character-driven). I wish that the cast of Everwood were just one smidgen less earnest, and that damn Dawson's Creek didn't always conflict with something I like better.
Oh, and Felicity, I never thought I'd admit it, but I miss you....

don't forget The West Wing, CSI, The District, and The Agency :) and what ever happened to Boston Public?

West Wing has been wonderful so far this season.
I don't watch the Agency or CSI, but I know Boston Public, which I do watch, had its season debut Monday, but I missed it.

Oh, and Felicity, I never thought I'd admit it, but I miss you....

Of course you do. : ) She just grows on you. We have the final episode next week, which will be sad, but for me it really ended with graduation anyway. I think I might even need to make a little trip to Amazon.com to get those season 1 DVDs when they come out - I don't usually buy recordings of stuff but I'm sorely tempted by this!

I thought Felicity was very wisely written after its cancellation, when it used "what if" to fast forward us through all the various permutations. The finale of that show was to me the strongest episode since Season 1, so I hope you like it, too.

Embarrassing sidenote:

I rather like Everwood's earnest characters. I don't know why--but the show is so comfortably cornball, I'm hooked.

It's funny, isn't it, how if a show is cornball in a contemporary way, it can still hook. What an odd pair of teens!
