Somebody else brought it up! The OC has let me down.
Actually, the only thing on network TV that is really working for me this year is Surface.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Things that are working for me this year (not counting my personal reality TV fixes):
Lost, Criminal Minds, CSI, Supernatural (when I can catch it), possibly Threshold (when I can catch it).
West Wing has been hovering on my personal chopping block for two seasons, but keeps surprising me enough to let it stay. It just did it again tonight.

Our wings are not tired.
The OC was fun for a while, but I think I only saw 4-5 eps last year and none this year.
Surface! My son is enjoying that. I watched a couple, but haven't felt the love.
It is probably a good thing that I find so little teevee entertaining these days. Also, really pleased that so much good stuff is available on DVD for my viewing pleasure when convenient.
At this point I'm watching Lost and SciFi. Although I expect to be watching Veronica Mars real time before too long. Unless something after 1.4 pisses me off.

Oh yeah! Sci-Fi. Battlestar Galactica is really working for me this season, but I don't get cable, and am only catching up an BSG when the tape fairie catches up. Now I have to wait until after January for more.

I really wanted Threshold to work out. However, Charles Dutton is wreaking it for me.

Stupid White Sox. How many home runs do they have to hit before somebody admits that "Ozzieball" is actually just good pitching and hitting? Bunting the runner over my flat white fanny.
I admit it! Hell, the White Sox starters have been awesome in this series.
Somebody wrote a sports book a couple years ago. He prefaced it by noting that he was being a tourist in England and he saw a father and son there on his particular tour wearing White Sox caps. They avoided him the whole tour and he couldn't figure out why until he realized it was because he was wearing a Cubs cap. (He wasn't particularly a Cubs fan.)
I admire that about White Sox fans - a huge Mittle-to-Eastern-European resentment and stoicism built on cabbage based cuisines.

Really? I've barely been able to catch more than the first episode or so, and I'm bummed to hear that. Peter Dinklage is not enough to offset that?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cabbage. There's your problem right there.
Did anyone mention that this season's Smallville is a Buffyverse reunion? James Marsters and Leonard Roberts so far, and I've barely gotten started.

The entire other castmembers of Threshold are so great, it makes Dutton's stuff very jarring.
Yeah, I think I am going to drop Alias for Smallville.

I thought all the Buffy alumni were on VM? Except the writers who are on JJ Abrams shows.
