-Hey FOX - nobody will be mad if you re-use the "Animation Domination" tagline for your Sunday night lineup. It's actually appropriate this season.
-Yeah, I'll watch Cavemen, and I'll bet a lot of you will too. It's been hyped up as too much of a trainwreck for me NOT to watch at least the first episode.
-And while Carpoolers was also panned, though not quite as badly, I'm really looking forward to it. I like the premise. I like the cast (Fred Goss is AWESOME). And I like Bruce McCulloch. It deserves a shot.
-I'm REALLY looking forward to Back To You. On paper, everything seems to add up to make a winner. And I can only imagine the kind of chemistry that Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton (both of whom I love) will have.
-'Til Death really grew on me last season. The 8 o'clock hour on Wednesdays looks to be a keeper.
I don't have a DVR, and I don't have cable, and I don't watch much TV.
With that said, I'll be watching "30 Rock" and "The Office". I'm going to try to watch "The Big Bang Theory", as that looks amusing to me. I see "NUMB3RS" is still on. I've always wanted to watch that. I don't know if I'll remember. I'd also like to see "Back To You" and "'Til Death", but I don't know if either one is any good. I'm acquiring the first episode of season 2 (on the recommendation of the people in this thread), so I'll decide further after watching that one.
EDIT: I'd like to see "MythBusters", but of course since I don't have cable there's absolutely no way I could ever see it. :-)

I gave "Back To You" a try this week, I was unimpressed. We'll see if Bionic Woman makes the grade in the Pilot to stay in the rotation.

I may be the only one who cares, but I love digging this thread up every year.
1. LOST 2. The Office 3. Breaking Bad 4. It's Always Sunny In Philadelpha 5. 30 Rock 6. Mad Men 7. Curb Your Enthusiasm 8. Flashforward 9. True Blood 10. Scrubs 11. Community 12. Modern Family 13. Real Time with Bill Maher 14. The Venture Brothers 15. Bored To Death 16. SNL Weekend Update Thursday 17. Parks and Recreation
A few of these won't actually be popping up until 2010, of course. (Check Modern Family out, by the way. I taped the pilot on a whim and it hands down has earned the season pass already.)
Also - Arrested Development and Pushing Daisies are both still listed on my DVR Priority List because I can't bear to delete either of them, but I felt safe in skipping them here.
EDIT: About once a month, it decides to tape an Arrested off of G4. And even though I've got the DVDs, I usually watch it.
In no order: - The Office - Saturday Night Live - SNL Weekend Update (whatever they call that one on Thursday) - 30 Rock - Dragon's Den - The Ultimate Fighter - WWE Vintage Collection - Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations - America's Test Kitchen - Cook's Country - Random episodes of Good Eats and Chef At Home if I remember to go looking for ones I haven't seen

If you have HD, get it off of HDNet where there are no commercial breaks because they air them all after the show. I watched all of Enterprise that way because Sci-Fi didn't have the rights to the HD version of the show.
I know it's not the same, but it's kind of similar. I don't have Tivo, so I download torrents for the shows. My list for the past year:
CBS: Two & a Half Men, Big Bang Theory, How I met Your Mother, NCIS, & Amazing Race.
NBC: The Office, L&O:SVU, & Celebrity Apprentice.
FOX: Animation Domination (Simpsons, FG, AD, 1st KOTH, now Cleveland show), & American Idol.
ABC: Dancing with the Stars & Wipeout.
Other: BBC travel, history, and art specials, Breaking Bad, Dexter, Ice Road Truckers, Psych, South Park, Important Things with Demetri Martin, The Closer, L&O:CI, Penn & Teller Bullshit, Good Eats, Ace of Cakes, No Reservations, Globe Trekker & various WEC/UFC non-PPV shows.
I have way too much time on my hands to be watching all of this. And yet, I'm mad at myself for not getting more recorded, like original Adult Swim shows for instance. I've also just started checking out It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, so I have to get that on the computer as well.
EDIT: Just watched Modern Family & Sons of Anarchy due to my love of all things Bundy (Married With Children is one of my all-time favorite shows to watch) and am definitely adding those to the list. Both are terrific to watch in the episodes I saw, for different reasons obiviously. I'm also going to check out The Middle for now. Not as great as the other two, but I found it funny & quirkly to watch and feel like giving it a chance.
House How I Met Your Mother Chuck Gossip Girl 24 Big Bang Theory (Saved until we catch up on Season 2) Castle Modern Family Glee Bones (Saved until we catch up on Season 4) FlashForward Supernatural Fringe Smallville Dollhouse SNL Simpsons Cleveland Show Family Guy (Never got into AD, but I probably should.)
Watching online because Thursdays are CROWDED: SNL Thursday, The Office, Community, and CSI.
Dropped from last season: Heroes, Lie to Me. Dropped from THIS season: The Vampire Diaries.

Lets see How I met your mother Accidentally on purpose (its probably got another two weeks before I delete it) Californication Bored to death Curb your Enthusiasm The Office 30 Rock Community Modern Family (best new comedy since THE OFFICE debuted) House RAW Smackdown ECW Cake Boss Iron Chef (original on FLN)
We just moved and went from Cable to Directv, so I have to recreate a list from scratch.
This is going to sound weird: Make sure to shower, groom, and dress nice every morning. Doesn't matter what you're doing, even if you plan on staying inside all day.
