    Actually, I now have a new list of best on TV...

    Hands down -- the best new show is Rescue Me. Simply phenomenal writing and acting.
    #2: The Shield ...another F/X show.
    #3: Battlestar Galactica ...as good as the old one was bad.

    The worst: undoubtably 30 Days . A great premise that is immediately compromised by the producer's biases. Not surprising considering his Supersize Me was anti-corporatist crap (his favorite word.)
    #2: Just about every SciFi made for TV movie.
    #3: Don't watch enough to know much more than that...

    Best:
    I'll save space and say "The Friday nite Sci-Fi line-up"

    Justice League Unlimited- As a comic geek, this is a given

    NCIS---Only Cbs would make a 'family-friendly' version of one of it's own shows (CSI)

    Oh, CSI's and Laws and orders (Exception: LaO: Trial by Jury)

    The Whedon shows (Buffy, Angel, and Firefly)

    Worst:

    Andromeda (I loved the first couple of seasons, but i have no fricken idea whats going on now)

    Most Reality shows (Exception MTV's Fear....the whole show was the premise for a bad horror movie waitning to happen)

    Mutant X (yeah, I know i'm the comic geek, but knowing what they had planned, and what we got, it depresses me!)

    Well, I last posted on this thread over three years ago (is Methuselah hiding around in here or something? )!

    So, how have things changed for me since then?

    Let's see,

    Best:
    NCIS -- this has replaced er and CSI on my schedule. They built some great chemistry with the crew, but I was shocked by Kate's death. Now I have to be sure to watch the season opener to find out what the hell's going on!

    West Wing -- This is my favorite show on television.

    Law & Order and L&O: CI -- Both shows are still top-notch. I'm not sure about Borja at this point (just don't like her style) on L&O, but I love the fact that Dennis Farina is on the show. Looking forward to Fontana and Green building a good chemistry between them.

    CI is going to a different format, with Chris Noth returning as Mike Logan to split lead duties with Vincent D'Onofrio (apparently, Logan and his partner will be doing half the shows, and Goran and Reems {sp?} will do the other half). I'm looking forward to it.

    Crossing Jordan -- I've been a Jill Hennessey fan since her L&O days, so I was sure to catch her new vehicle from Day 1. I'm a little tired of them messing with Jordan and Woody's relationship (it seems that most shows just don't want to build a regular relationship between the main characters...they just haveto screw with them too much), but I otherwise love the show. It certainly makes Sunday nights pretty regular.

    Of course, I wonder what NBC's going to do with the Sunday lineup in the Fall of 2006, when they get their Sunday night NFL game.

    MXC -- Yeah, it's sophomoric most of the time. But, it's hilarious, too. They just need to put out more "new" episodes (of course, I guess that all depends on how much usable Takeshi's Castle footage is left ).

    (Of course, all of the above takes a back seat to my sports -- major league baseball, college and NFL football, hockey {yeah, it still exists, apparently }, rugby and, occasionally, lacross and cricket.)

    Worst:
    Still anything Reality -- 'Nuff said.

    Still modern sitcoms -- My sitcom watching has decreased to 'nil since 2002, especially since "Whos Line..." is now only in reruns (which is still watch regularly on ABC Family).

    I can't believe someone revived a thread that I once replied three years ago.
    Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

    You can blame Ezri and his inappropriately-placed political commentary.

    Well, so far, I haven't liked "O'Really." His latest slight includes mispronouncing our state Governor (How the effin' hell did he get "Lin-gell" from "Lingle"???) and singling out Hawaii as one of the states with poor enforcement of child protection law.

    I hate to say this but he makes his rival Al Franken look good, and even I don't care for him either.
    Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

    Hmmmmm....

    Best:

    Not showing: B5, although the last series struggled, but with reasons.
    Showing: Nothing REALLY grabs me at the moment I am sorry to say.

    Worst:

    Smallville sucks. Mutant X, sorry but it just seemed a bit of a struggle for me to get a handle on, and ANY un-reality TV shows

    Cheers
