Dropped...
Scrubs - got sick of all the hallucinations/dream sequences/whatever
Smallville - just didn't do anything for me
24 - This show thinks it's a lot smarter and more interesting than it really is.
Added...
Alias - fast paced with numerous interesting storylines
Amazing Race - gets better with every episode
Dawson's Creek - I heard this season sucks, but since I've never seen any previous seasons, I don't have any basis for comparison; I'm enjoying it so far
ER - I lost interest for a while, but now I enjoy watching it again
Thin Ice...
Survivor 3 - I hated Survivor 2, so maybe this should be in the "added" category; I enjoy the show, but it feels boring and played out from time to time
The Simpsons - I still watch it religiously, although I don't know why; it has its funny moments, but most episodes are a huge disappointment
Malcolm in the Middle - I love this show, but every episode feels so darn similar

The only new show this season I make a point to watch is "Enterprise" because it's Star Trek.
I watch "Smallville" and/or "24" after "Frasier" just to see if Clark saves another person from a car.
Other than that, I'm just really watching the shows I have consistently watched in the past:
-Futurama(when new eps finally start)
-Simpsons
-Malcolm in the Middle
-King of Queens
-Everybody Loves Raymond
-Gilmore Girls
-Frasier
-West Wing
-Friends
-ER

DVD Talk Hall of Fame
I've dropped most shows over the last couple of years. I don't watch most prime time TV now. There are maybe 3 shows that I have to watch, and 2 that I'd like to watch if they're on. Otherwise I watch a DVD, read a book, or watch a documentary of some sort on one of those edumicational channels.
The main show I can think of that I've 'dropped' would be the X-files a bit after Robert Patrick joined. It became a different show and a none too interesting one, IMHO. Too much crap going on to care about it anymore.
This is what I watch:
Buffy
Friends
Frasier
Third Watch
Good Eats
My wife watches these so I pick up the storyline by osmosis:
Enterprise
ER
But neither are shows I care that much about. TV kind of sucks, you know?

I haven't yet watched CSI this year... I dont know why, I just haven't... I suppose I figured Survivor and ER were enough TV for Thursday.
I've pretty much dropped The X-Files. I haven't had any desire to watch the first two episodes. I may check out Alias this Sunday after The Sopranos (if they actually show it this weekend), or I might check out The Mind of the Married Man... I watched a couple episodes and enjoyed it.
I think next week I may also watch an episode of Undeclared. I've seen a bit of it before 24, and it really feels like a college version of Freaks and Geeks, which I loved!
