I'm looking forward to Jericho, Heroes, Studio 60...Strip, The Traveler (Midseason replacement), Six Degrees and 30 Rock.

I'm sure I'll be checking out the other shows too.

This is a no-brainer. The Sorkin/Schlamme combo has produced, by far, the best television of the last 10 years. More than anything next Fall, I hope NBC gives it a fair shake.

Studio 60, because it seems like it will be more in the vein of Sports Night (which I totally love) rather than The West Wing (which I totally hate).

Jericho is interesting, but I was bugged by the show's repeated use of sappy music (think Goo Goo Dolls-esque) and series of coincidences that happen in the pilot. That said, there's definitely room for it to grow (particularly with regard to the characters which need some good backstories to make you care about them...you don't in the pilot) so I'm looking forward to the second episode. Haven't seen Heroes yet but the premise sounds enjoyable.

Reading the reviews of most of the pilots for the upcoming season shows, I think the prevailing theme will be the use of coincidence as a plot device.

I watched the Heroes and The Nine pilots and they were both pretty good but I liked Heroes more. The Nine seems more like a movie and one of those series like Prison Break that leaves you wondering if it will be possible to make that last past a season.

Strange, I feel the exact opposite on those shows, but Sorkin's been good for television, so I'm definately tuning in.

Justice (FOX) looks interesting as well.

I only watch a handful of shows on live TV anyway though.

I'll take:

Studio 60
30 Rock (if they haven't messed it up with changes)
the former Let's Rob Mick Jagger

I might sample others.

Definitely looking forward to "Studio 60" and "Heroes" (the latter sounding like a more "real" X-Men sort of plot).

Jericho sounds pretty interesting. I really haven't heard much about any of these, so I will have to wait awhile to see what else sounds good.
