I'm going to give The Mentalist, Kath & Kim, and Knight Rider a shot. I'm still sad that Moonlight isn't coming back, but can't wait for Criminal Minds, Survivor and then 24 in January! So my schedule is limited for new shows.

Nope. Maybe Fringe. But that's a big maybe, and for only one reason. I'm really not interested in any new show.. I'll probably just stick to my 2.

I think that is wrong. I already am watching "Flashpoint" on CBS Thursday nights at 10 edst. It's SWAT cop show! Nothing to do with comic books!
