Hi mylotters!! Are you looking forward to the premier of one of your favorite shows more than other new or returning shows this new season? If so, what show is it and why are you looking forward to the premier more than other shows? For me the premier that I'm looking forward to most is Grey's Anatomy followed by Desperate Housewives and Private Practice. I'm just ready to get back into my weekly TV addictions. After all these reruns, I'm ready for a little r&r! What about you?

I'm not sure about October Road. I didn't watch that one too often...too many shows, so little time!

I watched the first episode of True Blood and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have episode 2 on my DVR and can't wiat to get to it. I have so many shows that I watch that I end up with quite the backlog at times!

I try to avoid having so many favorites that I can't watch them all! It really takes time away from the family and writing too!

Awesome. I can't wait to get cable back after we move. Right now we are here and there and not in any one place long enough to watch much TV. I had to cut the Netflix subscription down too! Had movies just sitting around waiting to be watched for weeks. Glad there is no late fee with them!!

I'm looking forward to more Private Practice. It really was a good new show last year. I have heard the story lines will be great.

Private Practice was one of my favorites too. I'm glad it did well in the ratings. It's different from Grey's Anatomy and I think that is what makes it work so well.

I can't wait for Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice and Brothers & Sisters! I didn't watch Desperate Housewives last season (I thought it was starting to get a little campy) butI heard about the season finale and may tune in this season to see how they fast forward 5 years. Should be interesting!

This fast forwarding thing is going to be weird--at least at first anyway. I'm sure we will all adjust and enjoy the show as much as ever. Can't wait to see Eddy's new husband!!! And Susan's new one for that matter. I'm also looking forward to seeing Gabby in the new mother role. That will be a different kind of role for her for sure.

I'm embarrassed to say that there are so many shows I'm looking forward to watching. I used to read about 4 books a week, but since getting cable and a dvr, my reading has gone down significantly. That being said, here are my favorites, not necessarily in any order: House - I saw a preview of the 5th season, and I like that the three original team members are going to be incorporated more into the plot so that both the old and new characters will be active. CSI - all the franchises. Criminal Minds ER - Though the plots and individual character issues have been recycled, I do want to see the last season. Law & Order - all the franchises. I am curious to see how Jeff Goldblum does as Chris Noth's replacement on Criminal Intent. Wonder if Logan's partner will also be returning this season. I am also looking forward to seeing the new shows The Mentalist, and also Christian Slater's new show.

You sound like me. I used to never watch TV and as a compromise of being on the computer too much, I started watching a few shows that became regulars. Now I'm not on the computer all the time at home and some of my assignments are behind, as well as other freelance things I *should* be doing.

Yup! Sounds like me, too! As I write this, I'm supposed to be finishing a short story collection for submission.

My shows had actually started before the regular Premiere time. I watch Gossip Girl and that started a few weeks ago. I love that show! I have a lot on my DVR this year: Dancing with the Stars, Amazing Race, The Hills, The Office, Biggest Loser, Desperate Housewives, and more I cant think of I don't keep track of when things are on anymore, I just add them all to my DVR. Unfortunately there were a few new shows I wanted to watch that conflict with things I've already DVRed. I take that as a sign that I don't have time for the new shows!

I know. I'm at my limit on TV time here too. I would be in big trouble with a DVR haha, probably so much that I'd never get back to watching half of what I taped!

Those premieres sure are coming up! I have to say I didn't watch Grey's Anatomy all these years except for the ferry boat episode. However, I caught last year's season finale, and I'm very tempted to tune in for the season premiere. I also want to see what happens on House. Amber dying is going to cause a load of tension, and that is putting it midly!

Yep! Lots of TV time coming up. I had to laugh with the new commercial on ABC that states next week is National Stay At Home Week. I wonder if that would qualify as a good enough excuse to stay home from work? Eh?

Oh, and as for new show, I definitely want to see The Mentalist with Simon Baker on CBS.

Hi Karen, I really enjoy all of the ones you've mentioned, especially Grey's and Private Practice. Dancing With The Stars will be starting soon, and I love that show. I'm also a big fan of Lost, and hate the fact that they're making us wait so long now, for each new season. I don't like it either, that they've really cut down on the number of new episodes.

I wish they could extend the season again, but apparently they don't have the large volume of viewers they once had.

Yes Ugly Betty premiers next week. I will probably watch it if I don't have too much going on. It's not one of my top favorites, but I do watch it often.

I'd have to say CSI and Criminal Minds because of how they ended last year. Smart on CSI's part because my hubby and I were loosing interest in it but now I just HAVE to see it! I couldn't believe when Warack got shot!

One of my favorite shows is Numb3rs. I like it not only for the interesting cases and how Charlie helps solve them, but for the characters themselves. Their personal lives and relationships. I don't like Don's new love interest though. I think it's her bangs. I know, shallow, but they bug the heck out of me. they look like a 5 year olds.

I enjoy Numb3rs also but miss it more than I catch it. Now I'm going to have to look for the bangs. lol

Yeah, its kinda sad because one of my favorite nights of TV is Fridays. We like Monk and Phsych (whose season's are ending), and Numb3rs. So what I miss in the regular season, I usually catch in the reruns. We usually end up going out Saturday night. No good TV that night LOL. Let me know what you think of the bangs. They are so unattractive in my opinion.
