Just another random television thread. What do you think of the 2008/9 new shows so far? New this year that I picked up and watched:

Knight Rider:
Decent remake, though a bit commercially. I was a huge fan of the original series (having all 4 seasons on dvd now). I was a bit surprised at the short season, but they're "retooling" the show for season two (or so they say), not cancelling it, so that's a good thing.

My Own Worst Enemy (cancelled):
Not a surprise this thing got cancelled. Slater's a good actor, but the show lacked depth and future.

Dollhouse:
Still on the fence about this one. Whedon (creator of Angel/Buffy/Firefly) is good, but this one's taking a bit to wear on me. It's a bit drawn out and deep, maybe too deep for Fox.

Castle:
This one's absolutely freaking great so far. Of course, it's only 2 shows in, but it shows the humorous side of Nathan Fillion (Mal Reynolds on Firefly)

Kings:
This one's only a week or so old,b ut I'm impressed so far. More deep than your average show, but it's still got potential. The initial 2 hour premier wasn't enough to fully sell me, but it's definitely got potential

Of course those aren't the ONLY new shows out there, and they still run the risk of being cancelled. What are your thoughts, not only on those, but on others that I might have missed. Please do provide IMDB links to the show so others can check them out as well!

I'd watch Nathan Fillion read the phone book. When is Castle on?

Monday Night on ABC. It comes on @ 9 CST, so you'll have to do the math to convert it to your own timezone . If you missed the first fiew episodes, check out torrent sites (isohunt.com is a great one) to download and catch up.

I saw the premiere, liked it well enough & love Fillion, I just forgot it was on Monday nites.

So, it looks like NBC is getting ready to drop the hammer on Kings, first moving it to Saturday nights (yeah, like THAT was gonna work), then pushing the last few episodes to the summer.

I can't say as I'm terribly surprised, the show didn't really stand a chance in today's "instant gratification" world, what with trying to be incredibly philosophical and mix religious undertones in there. I like the series, but can't really say I'm surprised that it didn't get much of a fan reaction.
