    Arrested Development on DVD
    Rescue Me (not in season right now)
    Iron Chef

    I don't watch much TV other than sports and just general channel surfing, so that's about it for me.

    Also, the reason that Arrested Development didn't last is because...well...executives are jerks lol. It was critically acclaimed as one of, if not the best comedy on TV while it was running, and for some reason it just didn't get the ratings it needed so it was cut. One reason might be because it didn't have the star power of other, more successful shows. Jason Bateman isn't exactly Steve Carell, you know.

    Here are some clips...

    I may be in the minority on this, but I love Grey's Anatomy. Then again, I'd watch Katherine Heigl in pretty much anything.

    24 and The Office are my favorite shows right now, although The Office is not quite as good as it was last year.

    Other shows I'm watching that I really like are Veronica Mars and Heroes.

    Lost is a snoozefest at this point. Smallville is actually halfway decent this season, at least when Lana ain't onscreen.

    Why do so many people like 24? I hate Keither Sutherlands and refuse to watch anything with him in it. I remember back in the 90's when they tried to make him the next big thing (movie star) and he flopped.

    Keifer Sutherland is the reason why 24 kicks so much ass. I won't disagree with his career in the 90's. He had his share of flops and misfires. I remember in the span of a year, he did The Vanishing, The Three Musketeers, and The Cowboy Way. That was sad. That being said, I did think he was great in Freeway.

    But trust me, his performance as Jack Bauer will make you forget every crapfest he's ever done. His Emmy win last year was much deserved and long overdue.
