Another show's kicked off this week that looks worth while, Commander In Chief, it's a political drama about the first female US President (Geena Davis). Episode 1 was pretty decent, west-wing style (though i'm no WW fan). Will definitely be watching more, assuming I can stay in the US longer and keep watching.

This week's My Name Is Earl shows the pilot wasn't a one-off. This is a funny quirky dark commedy.

Medium's second episode of Season 2 has shown that this show was worth the renewal, though the episode is a bit nauseating/frustrating till the lead woman works out what she's actually doing this episode - very annoying use of audio.

How I met your Mother's second episode makes this show worth tracking. A couple of good laughs.

Surface gets a please-continue, though I still have some minor issues with the show. If you are in to under age girls in bikini's this episode is a must.

The Law & Orders and CSIs are all up and running again, no real difference from last year, and Las Vegas season 3 is just as Las Vegas as ever.

Over There continues to be rock solid - I highly recommend this.

I thought My Name Is Earl was really good. The fat guy in it was the guy that couldn't see the sail boat in Mallrats and was also the huge bald guy in American History X, i didn't have a problem with his or Jason Lee's acting but I'm sure it will improve as the show goes on and they get use to playing the characters.... btw, it's in it's second week now.

I didn't mind My Name Is Earl however it did feel kinda cheap and nasty, but I'm gonna stick with it and see how it goes. Also looking forward to the new season of Medium. Thought the first was excellent and I really love the guy who plays her husband. Very cool indeed.

Also, new season of Alias starts tomorrow. I was almost ready to give up on the show halfway through last season, it totally went to s***, then the last couple of episodes absolutely rocked and it ended on a cliffhanger that has me desperately waiting for the new season. Damn them.

new Alias tomorrow? cool.... i need to see what happens to Vauhgn :) i'd bet my life Vaughn will get amnesia though and it'll be dragged out for the first half of the season. i thought it wouldn't be starting until January along side 24.

Also i think the new season of Malcolm in the Middle starts tomorrow aswell, don't know if many ppl still watch that show but i rekon it keeps getting better, can't wait for the new season.

Yeah, that stuff with Vaughn was seriously out of left field. Everything's all happy then BAM, and you're left wanting the next season :(
