TV Season...

CSI was top rated show last week. It wasn't good. The fun has been sucked out of the show and there just isn't enough Greg. Last night's episode was just awful. They tried to be cute with split screens and other visual tricks and it was came off as lame. I've heard Grissom and Sarah will be knocking boots this season and that rumor makes me want to vomit.

Desperate Housewives was the #2 show last week. See my earlier post on that season premier episode. Criminal Minds was #4 (CSI was the lead-in). I saw portions of the premier but even my fondness for Mandy as Jeffrey Geiger in Chicago Hope isn't enough. There are too many characters and too many cliches.

ER is tired as all hell and should be taken out to the nearest parched and left for dead. Still, somehow it came in 18th. Even mother didn't watch it last night. I skipped House (M.D.) so far this season but it was #20 in the ratings.

The West Wing came in #41. I see rumors Alan Alda's "California Republican" candidate will be elected. My favorite thriller came in #53. That's Prison Break. Not too bad for Fox and that makes it the network's 2nd highest rated drama (behind House) but the show deserves better. The O.C. is #70! Not good. The show really jumped the shark last season and it's struggling badly. This season is just an annoyance. It's on hiatus until November due to baseball playoffs.
