That one show for me is "Carpoolers", it has slightly become boring and has not gotten any better since the first episode. Also there is only one real MANLY MAN out of the 4 guys while the other 3 are kind of WIMPY. Tonight proabably will be my last night

there's nothing that I started this season that I feel like giving up on anytime soon, but I already missed one episode of Reaper and I'm not gasping around torrent sites trying to find it since it's not exactly a show where you're screwed if you miss one episode. I'll catch it later this season in a rerun.

It's not new, but I gave up on Boston Legal S4 after 3 or 4 episodes. I wasn't satisfied with the way they integrated John Larroquette into the show. If John is only there as a ratings booster and a plot advancement, I'm gone. I don't understand why the hardcore fans are giving John such praise when the character is so hollow and meaningless.

Carpoolers for me too. I basically only tuned in to see Faith Ford, but as I've been watching it, the show's just boring. I don't think I'll be watching tonight, unless I tape it.

I havent seen any of the new shows, I was planning to try Back to you, but, its on Weds, when TSN has their NHL game of the week, so, when the hockey season is over, ill probably try it out, if it hasnt been cancelled.

I work when Back To You is on so I've been catching it online. If you Google the show title it will take you right to its site where you can watch full episodes. It's the only new show I've been watching this season and I like it so far. I'll tell you what old shows I've given up on this year though...just tired of them, I guess, and some I didn't like all that much to begin with:

Desperate Housewives
Smallville
Brothers and Sisters
LOST
How I Met Your Mother
.....all cancelled in bingbang's schedule book! :)

Never really started watching anything. Caught a couple new shows, but they weren't anything I'd watch weekly.

I'm still on the fence about Reaper and Journeyman. I'm still not sure with Caveman and Carpoolers.

I think Reaper is okay from the episodes I've seen, but the Sock character annoys me to no end. Sometimes I feel on the fence about that myself.

I feel the same way even tho Sock is starting to annoy me less. My main prob with him is that it seems like the producers are really trying to make him the "best friend/sidekick who the fans might like more than the lead" type of character (ala Fonzie, Willow, Jackie, etc...) and it's too blatant, when I think incidents like those happen by fluke, not by choice. I think the show is fun to watch but I don't see it becoming a favorite, and I can see the show getting old quickly if the writers can't figure out what to do.

I Tivo'd it last night, but haven't gotten around to watching yet.

I'm also getting a bit bored with Samantha Who? already. So, it really makes me wonder if the only reason the ratings are big is if it's after DwtS. I don't see anything really special about it.

I missed Samantha Who two weeks in a row because it's on the same time as MNF. The first ep I just flat out missed, the second ep I was prepared to record but I had the TV on CBS because of recording Big Bang Theory and never turn the channel to ABC so I recorded whatever was on CBS at 9:30pm-lol

Journeyman
Back to You
Cane
Big Shots


The latter two I pretty much have already, Journeyman is pretty interesting(the best of the four) but the ratings have been bad and I think the episode quality is erratic.

B2U I have simply fallen behind on, haven't watched since the 2nd episode and it's pre-empted the next 2 weeks.

I was impressed by the Samantha Who? Pilot episode (even though it seemed like they squeezed a lot of stuff into 20 minutes). This week's show was so weak though. I do want to like the show, so I'm not going to quit watching just yet. Hopefully there's some good episodes coming up.

The show I'm almost ready to give up on is Pushing Daisies.

I went to read what the episode was about for next monday but TV guide didn't consider the episode the HIGHLIGHT of that night so there was no episode description. I guess I will have to wait and see next week-lol

There's TV Guide for you.

That's why I wonder why ratings for Samantha Who? are so high. I'd think all of the other new shows are much better (except Cavemen, of course), but for some reason, this is the highest rated new show of the season.

Makes me wonder too. God, Carpoolers is the surprise hit of the season-LOL. What is getting now, 6 . . . 7 million viewers, barely?

Solomon, have you see the new show "Phenomenon?" tonight? I was just finding something to watch, and I found this on. I turned it off after only 3 minutes? It's a new reality show (surprise, surprise) about a bunch of psychics. And of course, it's on NBC-LOL

The main reason Samantha Who? is doing so well is because it's behind Dancing With The "Stars." When that show finishes their season, I think Samantha will lose a lot of viewers.

Wednesdays was the original night planned for Samantha? I guess they threw her to Mondays because they knew Dancing With The "Stars" would be a great lead in.

Obviously. They knew it would work, too. For some reason I'm hoping to see the show fall in the upcoming weeks.

Ha! That didn't happen on Seinfeld or CYE, but it does sound like one of the random situations those characters would get into.
And I have to admit that an old man taking 2 guys down with a taser gun does sound funny!
