Granted, some of the fan hatred towards her on "Charmed" was not so much her fault since she was just playing a part, and the writers are who should have been burned at a stake. You missed a lot if you stopped partway through S1. If you ever have the chance in reruns, at least watch "All Hell Breaks Loose" if it's ever on. You can watch Shannen Doherty meet THE WALL OF DEATH. Also, it's probably the last great episode the show ever did.</p> <p>Reaper is on the CW, the premise is that this 21 yr old slacker finds out his parents sold his soul to the Devil (played by Ray Wise) so slacker and his friends must do the devil's bidding and recapture souls that escape from hell. It's supposedly very funny. And it has Missy Peregrym (Candace from Heroes) as a love interest.</p> <p>Holy crap, ER is still on the air? Are there any original cast members left? </p> Yes, Kaley Cuoco is the lead.

Wonderland was a one-season show staged in a NY forensic psychiatric ward starring Ted Levine and some less known (here!) actors.

As you put it – same story all over again – cops dump weirdo, staff gets all agitated, add some personal troubles of the interns, round it off with three to four intervowen storylines (Ed McBain-style, BTW – if you’re still looking for sme reading stuff and don’t mind police stories, check out Ed McBain’s 87th precinct books) and there you are.

Most TV shows are the same over and over again – 24, CSI, …, you name it.

… even, although not a TV show, the gadgeteer :) … new gadgets, some comments, day after day after day … SCNR

Cheers, Uli

Most likely I will be getting into the start of “Heroes”, other than that, swiss television just got done with my abolutely “don’t-mess-with-me-I-will-not-be-disturbed-if-so-I’ll-chew-your-head-off” series: Grey’s Anatomy Season 2.

I’ve lately been catching up on the past seasons of Battlestar Galactica, which I missed when it first came out. Will there be a new season of it this fall?

Haven’t heard much about new shows for this fall that have attracted my interest. Are the new shows not being hyped so much this year?
