The new television season is upon us, and there are many new shows to choose from. Autumn is a great time for television viewers, as we get new programming that seeks to make it easier for us to spend hours in front of the television screen. It's also a great time for television bloggers because we are fed up with even more programming that is doomed to fail, providing us with plenty of actors, writers, and networks that will be embarrassed by the low ratings of various new works that they have hyped since early this year. It's our job to constantly remind those people how bad their shows are so we never have to feel that pain again. We also feel it is our job to guide you through the maze of new programming with the hope of keeping all of you watching proper, quality television. Or we'll just laugh at these recommendations when they're all cancelled by Thanksgiving.

What? No survivor?

Mickey Rourke's parole officer was quite the thong-clad hottie in Sin City.
You know Martha Stewart's apprentice will have hilarity to last 1000 tvgasm stories. I'm banking on it.
I watched a sneak-peek Everyone loves Chris. It was okay, but nothing revelating in terms of sitcoms.
The question is, will NBC have a set of nice mid-season replacement disposable sitcoms in the near future?

First off you forgot to push Veronica Mars.
2nd of all, When I saw the subway ads for "commander and cheif" I had no idea the role was going to be played by Geena Davis. I will support this show, simply because I am a nerd and Geena Davis has stated that she is a Sailor Moon fan. LONG LIVE SAILOR MOON!
(omg, I can't believe I just said that)

I agree with E.B. where's the Veronica Mars love? If only because Julie Chen will be in the first episode!

Well, re: Katrina -- it's not what I call a gold mine for snarkiness.
And re: Kanye West, there's really not much for us to add, at least as of right now.

re: re: Kanye West,
There is certainly nothing embarrassing about an impassioned account of a singled-out race's mainstream misrepresentation. For shame.

asdfasf: If you want coverage of Katrina, just go to any other website that is not tvgasm.com. This(tvgasm.com) is a welcome break from it.

I've seen all of the pilots for this season's new series, and the best new show, hands down, is "My Name Is Earl."

Nothing screams beleivability like Dennis Hopper playing a general.
I second, or third, the Veronica Mars slight. Its a good show.
OTher shows that are "must see" to me are Family Guy, Lost, Smallville, The West Wing and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

There are several new shows I'm going to watch at least once: Prison Break (already watching), Reunion (if I record and watch it later), Commander in Chief, My Name is Earl, Everybody Hates Chris, and a couple of others. It could be another good year for new tv.

What about Nip/Tuck? The season starts on the 20th, I think. Also- has anyone been watching Starved?

I heard that Martha's catch phrase will be "You just don't fit in."
The creativity behind that one sounds half-baked, if you ask me.

i only wrote about new shows, else my picks would've been considerably different.
on the plus side, i will be recapping more than just the wwe this fall, so at least there's that to look forward to.

Count me in for Veronica Mars as well. One of the best new shows of last season. The new season of survivor has really intrigued since finding two popular, previous survivors will be appearing. I'm looking forward to "The Amazing Race: Family Edition" but I think this will likely be the worst edition of The Amazing Race.
In terms of new shows this season, I've enjoyed Prison Break so far. I'm looking forward to "Everybody Hates Chris", "Invasion", "The Night Stalker", 'Threshold", and "Supernatural". I'll check out "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart" as well. It'll be interesting to see if it's as good as the regular Apprentice. I doubt it.
