Of the new shows, I enjoyed Person of Interest and Two Broke Girls.
The pilot of Up All Night didn't do it for me, but I thought the second episode last week was pretty good. I'll give it time.
Free Agents is on thin ice for me as well, and likely not a keeper.
I was looking forward to Whitney, but personally thought the pilot was horrible. Most disappointing of all the new shows for me thus far.
Also looking forward to Terra Nova tonight, and How to Be a Gentleman's premiere after Big Bang Theory on Thursday.
Forgot to mention The Playboy Club...I enjoyed that as well.
Not new this season, but really like Happy Endings.
Next year, or in a year and a half, I will be watching this.

American Horror Story. I loved the first episode.
If I lived in Argentina, Dancing With The Stars. Good use of wine as a prop.
Been watching some past episodes of the current season of Luther on BBC America.
This new shows on network television this year have been terrible. The only one I've watched with any regularity is Person of Interest.

Pretty much agree...Person of Interest and American Horror Story are the only two new shows on network TV that I have taken a liking to.
I've also been following the new American Guns show on Discovery. It's no Sons of Guns, but still worth a watch.
And obviously, Homeland has been killing it on Showtime.
I caught Allen Gregory the other night on FOX. OMG, what an unmitigated, stinking crapball that is. Time to fire the idiots who green lit that show and bring in some new idiots.
In fact, all of FOX's Animation Domination is either tired and/or painfully unfunny these days.

Hey - glad to hear someone else is watching this! Very strange and entertaining. This & Homeland are by far my favorite two new shows.

Clearly far from just us watching. I read it had the highest-rated premiere of any show ever in FX's history. And the ratings have steadily increased since the premiere episode as well.
I personally think it has some of the most creative writing on all of TV...premium cable channels included.

Completely agree. What utter crap. Jonah Hill needs to get fat again, and go back to doing what he does best...be a C-list supporting actor in Judd Apatow movies.

Also agree. I've tuned into Fox's Sunday lineup for well over 15 years now, and it's a far shadow of what it was. All I actually watch anymore is Family Guy, but it's lost a ton of steam over the last few years. Frankly, they pretty much lost me when they let King of the Hill go.
Anyone checked out AMC's new western show Hell on Wheels? Pretty good thus far.

I've watched the first 2 episodes, and so far it's okay. From the previews, I guess I was expecting a little more. Also sorry Ted Levine got killed in the first episode; I've always liked him as a actor.
Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman. Fascinating.
Morgan Freeman can make anything interesting.
I do like Strike Back. Serious guilty plasure.
The next season of Spartacus I antipate to be good based on season 1 and the prequel's consitency.

Have you recently been catching the rerun's, or were you following it from the beginning a few months back? I absolutely love it, and can't wait for the next season.

Eagerly waiting for this one as well.

AZwineRyan, I recently watched 10 episodes of Strike Back in 2 days.
On vacation. But it was the first time I had seen in it.

Well, Showtime's winter Sunday lineup premiered last night, and as expected...was very solid.
Californication is a long-time favorite of mine, and the 2nd season of Shameless appears to have as much or more promise than the 1st.
And the series premiere of the new House of Lies was pretty solid too. Looks to be another one well worth watching.

I'm going to try and catch the pilot for Alcatraz tonight. Looks like it has some potential . . . or could be really bad.

Well it a J.J. Abrams show, so you probably won't know what's going on until season 6.
We kept hearing folks talking about Revenge, so went to Hulu and watched the first episode, then the second, etc. and by the end of it had watched everything up to the current week. Not highly intellectual but can't tell you how many times we've said "damn!" while watching the main character take on the people that framed her dad. Easy entertainment...
Just watched Alcatraz, and wasn't particularly impressed, but am able to predict that Weezer's next album title will be "Diego".

Yeah, I wasn't too impressed either. It wasn't bad though and the female lead is pretty easy to look at. I'll probably watch the next few episodes if I'm around to see where it goes.
Alcatraz has me curious, but I was in the middle about checking out last night's premiere because I already follow so many dang other shows. Ultimately, I passed. I never got into Lost, and it appears to be a similar show.
I watched Alcatraz and agree that it was so-so. I'll continue to watch for a little bit to see if it hooks me.
The more exciting news is that Southland returns tonight! If you haven't checked it out, you really should.

+1. By far the best cop drama on TV IMHO.
I really enjoy Justified as well. Which also had its new season premiere last night on FX.
"touch" is kinda cool, a bit better than "alcatraz"...should probably dive into last nights debut of the new "spartacus"...liking "house of lies" enough but sort of a mix/match of "entourage" meets "californication" just not as good as either...
also the new seasons of "portlandia" and "todd margaret" are worthy.
about to start "downtown abbey" as well as i have not heard or read a single negative review about it...

The new season of Spartacus is off to a slow start, and I'm not enjoying it nearly as much as the first 2 seasons thus far.
I'm interested to check out the new show The River some time soon on my DVR.

Currently watching Southland, Justified and Fringe. 3 hours of non-sports TV a week is about all I have time/patience for. Oh and Seinfeld before I fall asleep…
i agree and i have such HIGH hopes for Spartacus... 
and LOVED last nights premier of The River...

I don't watch it consistently, but Portlandia is funny (often cringeworthy and painful though)
i take it back, while the first episode was almost painful, i liked the second episode much better.
