Ah, Lost. What a great series. It wasn't always coherent but I couldn't stop watching.
i have this little quirk that if you over advertise something i will lose all intrest in it. They did that with Lost in such a big way.
Defiance is just about there as well. They have pushed it so hard i almost don't want to see it now.
I couldn't start.

some times it's meant I've missed out on some good shows but for the most part it works for me. If it's really so good they wont have to sell it so hard.
Shrug.
I was a huge fan of 'House' but that was mostly for Lisa Edelstein... growl.

That's kind of my thinking on it as well. It's being hyped all over the various NBC channels, I see it on magazine covers, they even worked it into Face Off. I understand it's their new darling and they want to maximize their return (just from the previews, it looks like they've spent quite a bit on CGI, which was part of Sanctuary's downfall), but the more they push it, the more I tend to step back.
I'll watch the first episode, though. It's got my attention, there's no denying that.

A perfectly understandable view, IMO.
Such a pity about the lights (either that or I need a new Monitor), but she does have a really good shimmy.
But I love this one.

Parenthood - near as good as Friday Night Lights, while being it’s own thing. It’s believable. And has a real nice balance between crippling dramatic situations and light-hearted humanity.
I watch a lot of Reality crap that would completely shit on any credibility I have if I listed it. But I guess I find it never ending interesting to witness and contemplate why people do what they do.
New Girl – hear me out on this before you bail.
I think I watched the first episode cuz I’m into chicks like Zooey Deschanel. And that was the end of that, it played like a zillion other 30min attempts to capture ‘careful’ comedy. Not my thing. (I’m more into Community… which is now RIP as far as I’m concerned.)
I kept reading about New Girl ‘finding its path’ so I eventually gave it another shot. Let my Tivo rack up maybe 15 episodes before I actually gave it a viewing. And let me tell you, I’m SO fucking glad I came back.
It’s well beyond the ‘quirky’ Zooey thing now. The other mates have their own lines which are all deliciously disparate and yet belonging within the unity of their ‘togetherness’. The writing itself is stupid genius. They have no issues at all slipping stuff in there that’s going to glide right past maybe 80% of the viewer base, stuff that you and I will hear and probably choke on it’s so intelligently funny (or else preposterously hilarious). The story lines are pretty fresh, at least as far as how they play out.
It’s not like any other sitcom I’ve given half a chance to the last few years. It doesn’t seem to care about that. Or if it does, it doesn’t look like it any longer. It ain’t afraid.
Most importantly, for ANY sitcom, I buy the interaction of those involved. They’re all unique together and yet they blend. And secretly, that’s what we all want, right? The idea that you can be yourself completely, and yet still gather among a group of people unlike yourself – and fit your finger in there like a glove, eh. Ain’t that why you’re here?
Trust me, it’s good stuff. You’ll have a good laugh, or several, every episode. And while you’re doing that, you’ll go, ‘Yeah… I belong.’
Give that a try. Some stupid shit is stupid good fun.

I heartily agree with your comments re: New Girl. As much as I'm very picky about comedies and usually dislike sitcoms, New Girl makes me laugh every time. And the writing is surprisingly delightful ("You don't have a phone because you have the credit score of a homeless ghost.").
As far as other shows, I do unabashedly adore all things Joss Whedon. Plus many other shows, most of which are long deceased:
Don't Trust the B in Apt 23
Warehouse 13
Supernatural
Justified
Pushing Daisies
Wonderfalls
Dr. Who
King of the Hill
Venture Brothers

Better Off Ted
Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse Smokingly Decadent!
All the above prove that the principle participants were /are fit beyond belief.
Prison Break was my favorite. That was several years ago, but I haven't had a TV since that ended.
