Followup to this post: I finally saw Back To You, and I have to say, I'm underwhelmed. You'd think that a TV series with Kelsey Grammer, Patricia Heaton and Fred Willard would be funny, but it's not. It had its moments, but other than those? Forget it.

I have been getting lots of laughs from The Big Bang Theory, on the other hand, which means it'll probably be cancelled and replaced by The New Adventures of the Old Christine after the first of the year.

What's on tonight? Jennifer Love Hewitt's cleavage, some new show that's generally vampire blah blah blah, and Numb3rs. Looks like Peter MacNicol's back, which is good, and Kathy Najimy's not, which is bad. Maybe I'll follow

writer_chick's advice and watch Pushing Daisies, and check out K-Ville because it looks interesting. Too bad Las Vegas is on at 10 insead of 9.

Pushing Dasies has an interesting premise - which is why it'll never last. We caught the first episode and kind of liked it.

I liked Pushing Daisies - didn't expect to, but thought it was delightful.

I like Moonlight . I'm getting bored with Ghostwhisperer.

I've never cared for Fred Willard, but

Haven't caught "Back to You" yet, and really don't want to. How often have we seen the "co-workers who can barely tolerate each other" premise, along with "action takes place in a TV station" formula? And I've seen a LOT of comedies in the past several years which aren't at all funny. So not surprised this was a dud.

I also like "Big Bang Theory," though I wasn't expecting to. I enjoy the geek humor, most of which I get. Not sure if that's a good thing or not, though... *wry grin*

There's already talk that K-Ville is facing cancellation, so watch it quick.
