I mentioned it in the Heros thread but I enjoyed Journey Man. Premise similar to Quantum Leap but a darker tone.

Heroes was fantastic.

Big bang theory will not last long.

Rules of Engagement needs to lose David Spade in a bad way.

One of the best episodes of How I Met Your Mother yet. More Mandy Moore please.

Watched a bit of Chuck after pvr'ing it. Deleted it mid-way through, didn't enjoy it all that much.

Law & Order:SVU and House tonight. When either of these shows are at their best it doesn't it any better drama wiss for me.

Two more days till the Office! It's amazing how many people can't wait for the season premiere thursday. It really seems to have found an audiance late last year. Good job by NBC to leave it and give it time. I beleive Seinfeld really started to get going in there 4th season too.

I'm glad the NBC Office didn't go the way of the BBC Office and try to quit on a high note. Not that there was anything wrong with the way the BBC original went out, but I am glad to see this one continuing on so strongly.

Chuck was pretty good, but yeah not sure how long it will last as the nerd/spy angle can only last so long.

Still waiting to hear on Jericho, it was cancelled and a huge fan outrage caused them to pick it up again for half a season.

Better than nothing I guess, that was the most under the radar show last season, and its easilly one of my favorites.

Nuclear attack aftermath, what could be more fun!

Don't forget to add 30 Rock to this list, the studio has kept it going despite rather dismal ratings. The show itself is hilarious and every single one of my friends that I got to watch it loves it now.

I never did watch 30 Rock. This is actually the first year, probably ever, that I've set out to watch new shows. In the past it's all been about watching this stuff on DVD.

I can't stand 30 rock. I watched the first episode and never went back.

The Office however is great, I try not to miss that show!

Chuck is decent, good enough to watch while having dinner or when folding laundry.

Journeyman is great, it'll likely make my PVR rotation.

Heroes was strong as always.

K-Ville was decent as well.

HIMYM was solid, I love Neil Patrick Harris, he really takes that show from "good" to "great".

Tues/Weds are slow (SVU really the only thing i'm looking forward to).

I'm with everyone above, can't wait for the office on thursday.

Can't wait for the Las Vegas premier. After watching more the show this year, I think it's actually a very underrated show. I think it'll be another show which I'll have to pick up on DVD.

I thought Chuck was actually quite irritating. I wanted to like it, the lead guy there is kinda cute, but honestly, it's annoying. It tries too hard to be cutesy funny, as someone already mentioned, and it was just too much.

I wasn't blown away by Heroes. The stuff with Claire bored me. I really only perked up when they showed Peter in Ireland, not knowing who he was. I will keep tuning in just to see where it goes.

I am really looking forward to House tonight. I am such a huge fan of Hugh Laurie. I just watched all of Season three on DVD so I am interested to see what happens to the team.

Bones premieres tomorrow, and I am really loving that show. David Boreanaz is great. I've never been a fan of his, but lately, I'm loving him. I wasn't too happy with the way the season ended, so I am hoping for a good opener.

Cane premieres on Tuesday, and it might be decent.

House, The Unit, and Boston Legal also air on Tuesday. I think they are good shows.

For comedy on Tuesday, you are right, it is slow.

I, too, really enjoyed Journeyman. Of course I liked Quantum Leap back in the day, too. Olivia, in Journeyman, is a hottie.

I thought House was great tonight. Without saying too much for those who may not have seen it yet, I love the back and forth between Wilson and House. It really is the best part of the show. I think this season is going to be pretty good, from the looks of it anyways.

I already miss Chase though...

And to be fair, if one believes that Journey Man is a rip-off of Quantum Leap, then the series Voyagers deserves to be mentioned in this thread as the father of all "timetravellin'" shows.

Frickin awesome show:

House was great tonight. Would have been great for "Dr. Buffer" to stick around longer though.

Wilson continues to be such a fantastic character.

Yeah, big thumbs up to House... Dr Buffer was great. Preview of next week looks pretty good, too. I was just watching some Blackadder last night, and Hugh Laurie's range as an actor still blows me away.

I really enjoyed House tonight. I'm looking forward to this season and who House picks for his team. The relationship between House and Wilson is great to watch, makes for good tv
