I gave up on Fringe after the third episode. Great mad mad scientist, awful bad bad science.
I dumped True Blood after two episodes, but with Alexander Skarsgård apparently coming on as a Viking vampire I may have to give it a second chance.
Sons of Anarchy is very good. Solid drama, great acting, good action bits, and a bit of non-forced comedy every now and then.
I'm a bit disappointed with The Big Bang Theory. Instead of letting the relationship between Penny and Leonard move forward they went back to the previous status quo. I thought Friends had shown that you could have a sitcom with evolving relationships, but I guess not.
Californication, on the other hand, does have evolving relationships. I think it's working out very well. Despite introducing a porn actress as one of the supporting cast there is less nudity than in the first season, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. No, no, hear me out. In the first season it broke suspension of disbelief to be constantly reminded that some of the actresses (because let's face it, it was mostly women being naked) would go only so far in the nudity department, so having various contrived reasons for not showing the naughty bits they didn't want to show when some would show a lot more just made it more fake than if nobody had shown anything. Does that make sense? Anyway, still a great show, even if they're making Charlie Runkle a bit too much of a loser, I think.
CSI is going through some cast changes, but as long as Grissom is still there I will continue to watch.
I've only watched the first couple of episodes of Desperate Housewives. It remains a backup show for me.
Family Guy and South Park are pretty much as they have always been. Robot Chicken is in't on for the time being.
Terminator is still okay, but not great. The T1000 company president woman is getting on my nerves, and I always feel like I need to not think about the time travelling implications. Plus it seems that they can send back as many people and terminators as they like these days - which, I suppose, could be explained by said time travel stuff, but since I can't think about it...
