If that "The 20" before movie previews is any indication, Journeyman could be it. Eh, I'm just saying that because Heroes was featured on "The 20" last year, but I wish success to Kevin McKidd.

Yeah, that's the one I'm HOPING is a success more than any other new show. Time slot might be tough going up against the atrocious CSI: Miami.

No, looks like another shitfest.

(Granted, I didn't think Heroes sounded that good before I saw it.)

None of the new series rundowns has that "I HAVE to check that out" appeal that Heroes or Lost had for me. Not saying there's no potential in the lineups, just that the big concept seems to out this year. Although there have been plenty of other 'big concepts' that I thought were must-sees and the shows themselves didn't deliver for me (Invasion comes to mind).

Pushing Daisies is the show I'm most curious about.

That is looking promising. Also Dirty Sexy Money and Chuck seem to have good buzz.

Not sure what you're asking since both LOST and Heroes are hour-long ensemble shows with a sci-fi/drama aspect. No new shows seem to be all that...

The one I'm looking forward to the most is Pushing Daisies. Excellent pilot. (And I loved Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me.)

Although, I probably ain’t looking forward to some of these shows as much as when Lost started. I thought Heroes was a huge disappointment & the acting is mediocre. I’m interested in checking out…

Cane, because Jimmy Smits is always great I was a huge NYPD: Blue fan.

Journeyman, because I love things that involve traveling of time & it sounds like The Fugitive meets The Pretender & that’s always good.

Dirty, Sexy, Money, because it looks entertaining, even though I’m not much of a Donald Sutherland fan.

Back to you, because Kelsey Grammer (Cheers & Frasier are 2 of my all-time favorite sitcoms) but Patricia Heaton isn't great, I can’t stand that generic sitcom, Everybody Loves Raymond.

Kitchen Nightmares, because Gordon Ramsay is hilarious!

I might check out the other new shows but I will never even look at Kid Nation for 2 seconds, looks like the ultimate low for primetime television.

& As usual I will be watching all the returning shows that I enjoy. Won’t type them all because I watch too many of them.

I think chuck will be a big hit. The Bionic Woman has promise as well, if they don't overdo the guest stars. Stackhoff was a perfect casting.

I will give Journeyman a try since I'm a sucker for time travel shows.

Chuck won't make it. It has Adam Baldwin in the cast. He kills shows: Angel. Firefly. X-Files. The Inside. Daybreak.

Agreed...for whatever reason, I couldn't (can't?) stand her on BSG, but I saw her on Kimmel a couple weeks back and she really does fit the role.

Journeyman looks like it could be amazing. Hopefully we'll get a cameo from Titus Pullo

The Bionic Woman also could be pretty sweet

Prediction: Carpoolers will be the next Heroes!
Spoiler:
j/k


I'm actually looking forward to Life the most of all the shows this season.

Frankly, pretty much everything looks like crap to me. Chuck has been promoted so much I'm already tired of it. Bionic Woman looks like it should be on the Scifi Channel. Journeyman looks promising but I'm not overly anxious to see it.

I'm passing on all new shows except for Tell Me You Love Me on HBO. I haven't seen any real promos for it but I get a Six Feet Under vibe from it. Hopefully it doesn't blow like John From Cincinatti did.

I think more and more we need to be looking away from the major broadcast networks for real creativity and quality. Some of the best shows out there are on cable channels, with Damages (F/X), Mad Men (AMC) and The Business (IFC) all recently added.

Meanwhile, Journeyman is possibly the only new network entry to pique my interest.

If by Dick Winters you mean Damian Lewis who played Dick Winters on Band of Brothers, then yes.
