			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://procrastinationchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/The-Glee-Project.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3100" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px;" title="The-Glee-Project" src="http://procrastinationchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/The-Glee-Project-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a>Well it&#8217;s that time of year again, the summer fluff is mostly out. And what do I think so far?</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Alphas</strong> (Syfy) <strong>Stay Tuned</strong> &#8211; This is yet another spin on the Heroes theme, certain folks have unique abilities, this time they&#8217;re working with the government to stop the evil but good and evil just might not be all that clear, this isn&#8217;t as campy as some which may make it more watchable or may make it less engaging.</li>
<li><strong>Awkward</strong> (Mtv) <strong>Stay Tuned</strong> &#8211; The high school awkward phase has been done before but there&#8217;s just a dash enough of good writing to make the characters and situations interesting, will she make it work with her crush, or is there another guy out there for her, and how much humiliation in the interim.</li>
<li><strong>Combat Hospital</strong> (ABC) <strong>Tune Out</strong> &#8211; Grey&#8217;s Anatomy at war didn&#8217;t engage me enough to stick through the first episode which maybe isn&#8217;t fair or maybe watching at least part was more time than it was worth.</li>
<li><strong>Falling Skies</strong> (TNT) <strong>Tune Out</strong> &#8211; I was borderline on this, it&#8217;s not a bad show, about putting up the good fight after an alien invasion, but I just found I didn&#8217;t much care about the battles or the relationships.</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Glee Project</strong></span> (Oxy)<strong> Tune In</strong> &#8211; This is my favorite new show, it has all the ingredients of a singing competition, but the combination of elements in each episode (initial challenge, music video, and final singing for save) and the reality of competing for a role in a specific show with really talented kids makes it a must see.</li>
<li><strong>Franklin &amp; Bash</strong> (TNT)<strong> Stay Tuned</strong> &#8211; The cases and premise are pretty dumb but Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Breckin Meyer are still somehow kind of endearing in their rebellious lawyer style.</li>
<li><strong>Happily Divorced</strong> (TVL) <strong>Tune Out</strong> &#8211; Unless you have really been missing The Nanny, this dated feeling sitcom about Fran living with her gay now ex husband is a pass.</li>
<li><strong>Love Bites</strong> (NBC)<strong> Stay Tuned</strong> &#8211; This show didn&#8217;t catch on but it was actually a pretty good take on the romcom, boiling every possible story down to three vignettes an episode.</li>
<li><strong>Necessary Roughness</strong> (USA) <strong>Stay Tuned</strong> &#8211; A newly separated shrink gets what seems like a windfall when she&#8217;s asked to help out professional football player, but athletes, the team&#8217;s staff, and her family may still all be too crazy, she&#8217;s pretty likable in the overarching football story but the weekly cases in other sports seem a little too pat.</li>
<li><strong>The Nine Lives of Chloe King</strong> (ABCFam) <strong>Tune Out</strong> &#8211; Always willing to give the weird a shot, in this version this girl finds she&#8217;s descended from some sort of cat people, she&#8217;s the hope of the race but unfortunately may kill anyone she gets kissy with, will she survive long enough to&#8230; whatever it is she&#8217;s supposed to do, just nothing really to grab onto.</li>
<li><strong>The Protector</strong> (Life)<strong> Tune Out</strong> &#8211; Not a terrible show but just nothing noteworthy about this police procedural where the title character is a woman trying to balance family and work.</li>
<li><strong>State of Georgia</strong> (ABCFam) <strong>Tune Out</strong> &#8211; Raven-Symoné and Majandra Delfino attempt to play this generation&#8217;s Lucy and Ethel and I just can&#8217;t get on board.</li>
<li><strong>Suits</strong> (USA) <strong>Stay Tuned</strong> &#8211; It&#8217;s unbelievable that a lawyer would risk it all to hire a non law school grad to his firm that only hires Harvard grads, but this all business &#8216;closer&#8217; has a dynamic with his protege who reads and learns it all protege that is keeping me engaged.</li>
<li><strong>Switched at Birth</strong> (ABCFam) <strong>Tune Out</strong> &#8211; This show was actually sort of sweet in the look at the families and difficulties of two girls who learn they were the biological daughters of different families but it was a little too sappy too keep up with.</li>
<li><strong>Teen Wolf</strong> (MTV) <strong>Tune Out</strong> &#8211; I was intrigued by the new guy as wolf trying to balance that along with friends and romance but it just got too stupid.</li>
<li><strong>Web Therapy</strong> (Show) <strong>Stay Tuned</strong> &#8211; I wanted to like this Lisa Kudrow as internet shrink as her web series made the leap to broadcast, but couldn&#8217;t quite enjoy her terrible advice or uncomfortable relationship with her husband.</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Wilfred</strong></span> (Fx)<strong> Tune In</strong> &#8211; The US update to the wacky Australian concept where a guy sees a dog as a man in a dog suit is super odd but I can&#8217;t turn away as I wait for whatever unpredictable hijinks Wilfred will get them into.</li>
</ul>
<p>What else is sticking around in the TiVo queue:<strong> <strong>Burn Notice, <strong><strong>Celebrity Rehab, Closer, </strong>Drop Dead Diva, </strong></strong><strong></strong>In Plain Sight, Leverage, Louie, Project Runway, <strong>White Collar </strong></strong>and on occasion but tenuous <strong><strong><strong><strong>Eureka, <strong>Glades, <strong>Rizzoli &amp; Isles.<strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong><br />
</strong></strong></p>
<p>I do tend to take a pass on most new reality fare. <strong><br />
</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Until mid-season or the schedules shake up again I&#8217;ve mostly settled in to a lineup. So far here&#8217;s how things shake out. Though there aren&#8217;t any new breakout hits for me I have added a couple new picks.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Monday</p>
<ul>
<li>8pm &#8211; <strong>Chuck</strong> (NBC)/<strong>How I Met Your Mother</strong> (CBS) [<strong>House </strong>(Fox)]</li>
<li>10pm &#8211; <strong>Castle</strong> (ABC)/<strong>Hawaii Five-O</strong> (CBS)</li>
</ul>
<p>I&#8217;m still tempted to drop House but I get into this mental state where I feel like I&#8217;ve invested so many seasons into it so I kind of want to see how things play out. Other than that old favorites Chuck, HIMYM, and Castle are joined by fluffy fun enough so far 5-0.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Tuesday</p>
<ul>
<li>8pm &#8211; <strong><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">No Ordinary Family</span></strong> (ABC)/<strong>Glee</strong> (Fox)</li>
<li>9pm &#8211; <del><strong>Raising Hope</strong></del>/<strong>Running Wilde</strong> (Fox)</li>
<li>10pm &#8211; <strong>The Good Wife</strong> (CBS)/<strong>Parenthood</strong> (NBC) [<strong>Detroit 1-8-7</strong> (ABC)/<strong>Sons of Anarchy</strong> (Fx)]</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">So far NOFamily is a nice mix of family drama and super skills</span> [though this isn't a bad show I found I wasn't engaged enough to keep it on the listings] <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">while</span> the uneven Glee still keeps me coming back. Keeping SofA on the schedule is not a problem since FX replays stuff repeatedly, but debating on what to do about wanting to add 1-8-7 to my already booked hour. Since both Hope and Wilde are on my chopping block I wish I could move one of these up an hour.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Wednesday</p>
<ul>
<li>8pm &#8211; <strong>The Middle</strong>/<strong>Better With You</strong> (ABC)/<strong>America&#8217;s Next Top Model</strong> (CW)</li>
<li>9pm &#8211; <strong>Modern Family</strong>/<strong>Cougar Town</strong> (ABC)/<strong>Law &amp; Order: SVU</strong> (NBC)</li>
<li>10pm &#8211; <strong>The Defenders</strong> (CBS)/<strong>Law &amp; Order: Los Angeles</strong> (NBC) [<strong>Terriers</strong> (Fx)]</li>
</ul>
<p>Am losing interest in ANTM and the Law &amp; Orders but keeping them in the running with the comedies. Better w/You isn&#8217;t quite funny but the episode about living in a fire house kept me interested just because I&#8217;ve always wanted to live in a fire house (or light house) but it may go soon. Terriers is probably my favorite new show so keeping that on the agenda isn&#8217;t a problem while Defenders is so far sort of charming enough to keep me tuned in.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Thursday</p>
<ul>
<li>8pm -<strong> The Big Bang Theory</strong> (CBS)/<strong>Bones</strong> (Fox)/<strong>Community</strong>/<strong>30 Rock</strong> (NBC)</li>
<li>9pm &#8211; <strong>Grey&#8217;s Anatomy</strong> (ABC)/<strong>The Office</strong> (NBC) [<strong>Project Runway</strong> (Life)]</li>
<li>10pm &#8211; <strong>The Mentalist </strong>(CBS)/<strong>It&#8217;s Always Sunny in Philadelphia</strong> (Fx)</li>
</ul>
<p>Another tough first hour as I&#8217;m not willing to give up Bones, Big Bang or Community though the rest of the night seems to fit in fine. Holding out to see if Office picks up or drops off, especially with Michael&#8217;s scheduled departure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1167" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 0px 5px;" title="HDTPCube" src="http://procrastinationchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/HDTPCube.gif" alt="HDTPCube" width="80" height="96" />Paying money to watch television is something that I may still need some help in getting over. When NBC made its signal change eons ago I finally broke down and got &#8216;basic&#8217; cable to get channels clearly. And when I say basic I don&#8217;t mean not premium, I mean cable to get regular networks clearly, something that a city dweller should not feel compelled to do. So when along with my basic cable I received one or two additional channels like VS. (formerly OLN) offering me access to things like the <strong>Tour de <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Lance</span></strong> <strong>France</strong> I felt giddy.</p>
<p>And then at some point I had a cable problem and my wonderful cable guy didn&#8217;t put the blocker back on. A whole new world opened up to me. The world that was normally reserved for visiting my parent&#8217;s house and watching cable (minus HBO). I was slowly sucked into show after show, <strong>The Closer</strong>, <strong>Breaking Bad</strong>, even <strong>Rock of Love</strong>&#8230; It was a world I always said wasn&#8217;t worth the cost but I was getting it for FREE. And even when cable problems arose at a later time I decided to wait it out in fear of inviting the cable guy back over and having him put the dreaded blocker back on.</p>
<p>And then one day, no call to the cable guy, I woke to find that I could no longer get <strong>Gillmore Girls</strong> reruns on ABC Family. I could no longer get <strong>Project Runway</strong> on Lifetime. I could no longer get the final season of <strong>Monk</strong> on USA. What is a person to do? Well, I could pay for more cable, $29.99 a month seems reasonable and when that expires after 12 months I could probably negotiate down from the standing $59.99, which is an amount that seem ridiculous. And then there&#8217;s always the reported triple play deal of packaging cable, internet, and phone. Or I could try to take better advantage of the posting of shows online (it&#8217;ll get me through at least some current missing episodes) and of course I can wait for the shows that I might really care about to release on dvd.</p>
<p>So what to do? At least for now I&#8217;ll leave it on my list of things to do, along with upgrading my tivo.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So some folks were asking about shows that they know I watch but weren’t listed in <a href="http://procrastinationchronicles.com/2008/08/12/fall-favorites/">Fall Favorites</a>… By now folks know I watch and enjoy more shows than a person probably should. In addition to previously noted favorites <strong>Bones, Chuck, Dirty Sexy Money, Gossip Girl, Heroes, The Office, Pushing Daisies,</strong> and <strong>30 Rock,</strong> there are a few other returning shows that typically hit my tivo:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>America’s Next Top Model</strong> (CW, Wed 9/3 ) – Yes Tyra is annoying but it’s not really about her, it’s about the annoying wannabe models and this year they promise a transgender contestant.</li>
<li><strong>Big Bang Theory</strong> (CBS, Mon 9/22) – I don’t love this show but Sheldon makes me laugh enough, and Darlene is joining her Roseanne boyfriend as a regular this season.</li>
<li><strong>Brothers &amp; Sisters</strong> (ABC, Sun, 9/28) – I almost don’t even like this show but I can’t help but tune in to see what mess the Walker family is getting into and this season we should see the real illegitimate half sibling.</li>
<li><strong>Criminal Minds</strong> (CBS, Wed 9/24) – I usually actually only catch this special FBi unit cathing the brutal serial killer of the week show in repeats.</li>
<li><strong>Eli Stone</strong> (ABC, Tues 10/14) – This quirky guy with visions that may be leading him along won me over, but did we really leave him in a coma after an operation?</li>
<li><strong>Grey’s Anatomy</strong> (ABC, Thurs 9/25) – Yes Grey herself is totally annoying but maybe as she theoretically sticks with McDreamy this season we can focus on the rest of the good supporting cast.</li>
<li><strong>House </strong>(Fox, Tues 9/16) – Last year’s shakeup to cranky House’s team gave him some new fodder, though they didn’t find a good balance yet of old and new, and what of best bro after his girlie&#8217;s death?</li>
<li><strong>How I Met Your Mother</strong> (CBS, Mon 9/22) – This show still has a lot of hilarity, though I don’t care how he met the mother, or whether it is or isn’t Sarah Chalke.</li>
<li><strong>Law &amp; Order</strong> (NBC, midseason) – I dropped this for a few years but found myself tuning back in this last season as the current ensemble seems to be working.</li>
<li><strong>Law &amp; Order: SVU</strong> (NBC, Tues 9/23) – I know this show is all about Stabler and Benson but I don’t love them, though I keep tuning in, this is the one with the sex crime slant.</li>
<li><strong>Life </strong>(NBC, Mon 9/29) – This detective back on the force after being falsely accused amused and interested with his oddball antics though not so much on the conspiracy of his conviction.</li>
<li><strong>Lost</strong> (ABC, midseason) – Well I loved the start of last season but at the end of the day was a little underwhelmed by the Oceanic 6 getting off and having to go back, this season starts a new chapter, I’m very curious and definitely still in.</li>
<li><strong>My Name is Earl</strong> (NBC, Thurs 9/25) – I am still amused enough by Earl and his trashy family getting his karma back in line, though bored by the coma version of Earl and the normally likable Alyssa Milano.</li>
<li><strong>The New Adventures of Old Christine</strong> (CBS, Wed 9/24) &#8211; I still think this is a great role for Dreyfus to do broad funny as an crazy and awkward single mom with her misfit family.</li>
<li><strong>Numbers</strong> (CBS, Fri 10/3) – This isn’t a great procedural but the interplay between FBI and math genius brothers solving cases works, though math brother just lost his credentials, whatever will they do.</li>
<li><strong>Reaper </strong>(CW, midseason) – This show started strong last season and almost lost me with its capture of the week but the devil’s bounty hunter and friends found a new rhythm by introducing some additional intrigue, and the devil is fantastic.</li>
<li><strong>Samantha Who?</strong> (ABC, Mon 10/6) – Applegate is winning as her post amnesia persona tries to marry her old bad ways with her new clean slate.</li>
<li><strong>Scrubs</strong> (ABC, midseason) – I was surprised by the network move though I think this show has a great cast and good balance of silly fun, though we’ll see how well they transition to the predicted new young cast additions.</li>
<li><strong>Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles</strong> (Fox, Mon 9/8) – This show grew on me as the cast and intrigue were better developed while Sarah and her son John try to change the future by jumping years with the help of hot chick terminator Summer Glau.</li>
<li><strong>Two and a Half Men</strong> (CBS, Mon 9/22) – This show’s lost its edge a bit for me as the brothers work their odd couple dynamic with lazy kid getting less cute as he grows up, but there are still some good laughs.</li>
</ul>
<p>And before you ask, current cable faves include: <strong>Battlestar Galactica</strong> (behind but catching on dvd), <strong>Breaking Bad</strong>, <strong>Burn Notice</strong>, <strong>The Closer</strong>, <strong>Dexter</strong> (dvd), <strong>Eureka</strong>, <strong>Flight of the Conchords</strong>, <strong>Greek</strong>, <strong>Project Runway</strong>, <strong>The Riches</strong> (yet to be renewed), and <strong>Saving Grace</strong>.</p>
