Seasons change and so do I

I've been wanting to write a bit about this fall's Yanqui tv season for a while now, but it keeps changing -- both the landscape of what's on, and my feelings about the new (and old) shows. So, maybe I will tackle the new ones first (one of which is already off the air). Warning: Long-ass post ahead.

( New shows: Heroes, Studio 60, The Nine, Six Degrees, Smith, Dexter, and why I can't watch Jericho or Ugly Betty )

Returning shows:
( BSG, Veronica Mars, Gilmore Girls, The Wire, Numb3rs, Prison Break, and ETA MI-5/Spooks )
