You might try a lateral move to Without A Trace which offers up some mysteries that aren't slam-dunks from the first scene....

Oh god there's no way I could take on something more. I'm already way too invested in the procedurals I currently watch.

I might disagree a tad with Theo there. I actually gave up Without a Trace several months ago and I have no regrets. I watched it from the first ep and I found the show becoming a bit too depressing. Seeing as how I watch a non-stop block of crime, this may be saying a lot. I gave up Cold Case for similar reasons.

I think that Fox does intend to run Bones repeats on Fridays for a while. I'm not sure while.

I gave up WAT for BSG - and then DF and now Blood Ties.

But now that I only have Blood Ties - I can watch Cold Case again.

Oh and there is some teeny tiny minor hope for Black Donnellys . . . apparently, if NBCs pilots suck and the streamed shows and downloads from itunes do well, they may bring it back. Minor hope.

Tonight: we can talk GA in here!

Also er! And I imagine some will be chatting about c.s.i. -- although it is a repeat.

So...seriously, WTF is up with 24 this season? Did someone from the network tell them they needed more standalones? Because normally by this time in the day, they've at least got some momentum going.

Vice President Evilface is boring me to tears. Chloe's being given nothing to do. Jack's gone rogue again, and I don't care. It's all wrong.

I know. Having the adrenaline rush of Drive right before 24 is really showing up all of 24s faults.

I'm just glad Heroes is coming back next week so I'll have something else in that timeslot.

What I want to know is did President Logan bleed to death and what's happening with his ex and Aaron.

I'm not sure how I feel about FNL moving to Fridays.

Perhaps this will make people remember when it's on!

So...seriously, WTF is up with 24 this season?... It's all wrong.

I'm glad to know that I need not regret giving up on it a few episodes back--except, of course, for the fact that because I wasn't watching FOX I forgot to start watching Drive.

I realized last week that I just didn't care what happened on 24. There's something about the evil vp and his minion that get on my last nerve, and the 25th amendment is getting very old. Also, I thought, "The big ending is going to be about Audrey? Who cares about Audrey?"

(Also this is that dark-haired kid.)

I think I may have seen him in the preview for Crossroads, because when I flipped to Jericho, I thought for a moment it was Crossroads (a TV movie coming up)
