You Said It
Mel says:
"I live by the philosophy 'It's better to have watched and lost than never to have watched at all' ... I'm going to try and watch: 'Pushing Daisies' ..."
bsgfan2003 says:
"Looking forward to 'Journeyman' (the time travel show right?) and 'Bionic Woman.'"
BDUB says:
"I don't know why but for some reason the show I am looking forward to most is 'K-Ville.' I understand why you are not covering it but I wish you were."
Cody says:
"I thought the premiere of 'Cane' showed a lot of potential. If it makes it through the whole season then it will definitely be up for about 20 Emmys next year."
hub says:
"As much as I liked the first episode of 'Chuck' ..., I have a feeling [it] won't last a full season. Not enough mass appeal."
