CHUCK! glad to see so many Chuck fans. It's a fantastic show.

Other than Chuck i'm looking to the new show called "the event" (for those people with a "LOST" shaped hole in their lives), as well as the comedy called "running wilde" (it has GOB from arrested development!)

Also for you fringe and lost fans is a new show called "Undercovers", it's made by J.J.Abrams too but seems to be significantly less sci-fi than the last two.

The Office, 30Rock, and How I Met your Mother are always a good time pass. The first episode of HIMYM really brought the story back on track from the last disarrayed season. Also in the Office it's Steve Carell's last season so catch him while you can. As for 30Rock, they plan on doing a live show this season, like actually live, so that should be interesting. I'm pretty sure that all three of these series can be joined as they are, you'll be confused in the beginning but the characters follow standard archetypes and the comedy is generally universal.

and even if you haven't seen much of the series, Smallville is in its last season! They are finally getting to the good stuff so this season Clark Kent will go from 0 to Superman in 20-some episodes.

If you were a fan of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. there is also a new Matthew Perry show but the name escapes me.

Finally a BBC series called "Merlin" is entering its third season. It's similar to Smallville in the sense that it is Merlin's (the wizard from the King Arthur legend) origin story. If you know of King Arthur and the knights of the round table, the show is quite fun to watch.

ALSO THE DAILY SHOW/COLBERT REPORT. NEVER FORGET!

That is all. I think.

P.S. the new futurama season is over and I rather enjoyed it, my favourite episode was "The Late Phillip J Fry", I did see all 12 episodes available on DC++ for those interested.

I graduated from McMaster over forty years ago and occasionally post here. Australian TV has some similar program material. Here is a piece I wrote on one of the programs.-Ron
-----------------------
ALLY MCBEAL

In 1999, the year I retired from full-time teaching in Australia, the Ally McBeal show was at the height of its popularity. It won an Emmy Award for the Outstanding Comedy Series. The show ran for six seasons, starred Calista Flockhart in the title role as a young lawyer working in a Boston legal firm and focussed on the romantic and personal lives of the people in a law office. The environment was highly sexualized with dating and flirting, drinking and humour dominating. The show, the series, was heavily music-oriented. Ratings dropped off in the fifth season and the program was cancelled after six seasons. Feminists complained about McBeal’s emotional instability and lack of legal knowledge among many of their other complaints.1 -Ron Price with thanks to 1Ally McBeal, Wikipedia, 2009 and a review of Tim Appelo’s Ally McBeal: The Official Guide, Harper Collins, 1999 by Ian Lace in Film Music on the Web, December 1999.

Some called it the freshest, most deliciously
politically incorrect show to have crossed
the Atlantic: eccentric characters, outrageous
madcap humour, cartoon-like fantasies and
sentimental melodramas. A unisex restroom
where the characters dance, sit on each
other’s laps, discuss their innermost
romantic yearnings, lose frogs down
toilets and where toilet lids operate by
remote control. Some lines like: "Men
are like gum: after you chew awhile,
they loose their flavour;” and "Tell me
what kind of lie works here?" convey
some of the tone of the series and.....

Ally’s in the middle of a popular culture
insistent on offering images of grown
single women: frazzled, self-absorbed
girls with male power and with female
powerlessness seemingly harmless and
cuddly, sexy, safe and sellable. Female
bodies, traditionally sexualized & linked
to emotionality operate as the barrier to
women's full and effective participation
in the professional and societal spheres.1

And I was settling down into retirement
away from the fast lane, from being job-
bed, from endless meetings and endless
conversations--into solitude, into a world
of writing, Bahá'í studies and none of the
Calista Flockhart and that Ally McBeal!!

I still have to watch the last few episodes of Being Erica from last season though, I just got really busy and well it never stopped. I really wanna keep up with this season though so I gotta watch those eps and the recorded ep from this Tuesday and get back into it. Legit good Canadian show.

Television & Society CMST 3S03 consists of discussing TV and the major course work is a research paper about a television program of your choice and part of the research involves watching many, many hours of said program. Homework also consists of occasionally being asked to watch something on TV and in class you watch some TV too.

So many shows.. <3

Seriously though, Its good to know who watches what, and to see what shows most people are watching
