This is new stuff, yeah. I'd be a bit surprised if you liked this finale better than last year's just because the whole thing with the Master was so completely in tune with your tastes, but it was damned good (and again had perfect casting for the nutjob supervillain). Awesome season in general, though.

You can never go wrong by collecting all of X-Files and watchng them  . .  Nip/Tuck, the Tudors, and Girlfriends. If I watch TV, I literally only catch Family Feud, Jerry Springer or Maury always on. Still watch those, oddly enough. Maury: "You are NOT, the father." Me: "Unh unh unh unh unh guuuurrrl you kno u wrong."

Been watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  I had heard of the show before, but never really watched it until now.  It's about a bunch of guys who may or may not all be related running a bar and being sarcastic assholes to each other.  Easily the funniest show I've seen this year, and probably the funniest one I've been introduced to since Flight of the Concords.  Incredibly funny, and, most importantly, free online.  www.hulu.com has all of the first three seasons, and has actually bought the rights to do so so unlike TV Links it won't suddenly go down.  Sure, everything else on the site is crap, but the site's still worth visiting for this show alone.

Gotta hand it to the advertising department for the show: putting up the first 3 seasons online has definitely made me want to catch the fourth season when it's on TV.

Massive massive seconding on It's Always Sunny.  I have endangered my health to watch the three seasons over at hulu.  Reminiscent of AD for me (although it's obviously not quite the same thing) and kind of shocking because I'm not used to the idea of a good TV show that hasn't long since been canceled.  All I can really do is suggest you take the three seconds to grab a free account at that site you can at least watch the first episode; if it's the kind of thing you'd find funny (which certainly doesn't have to be the case), you'd probably know pretty soon into it.

Battlestar Galactica's now four episodes in to its final stretch of ten. Now, this whole season (these four and the ten before them) have been completely phenomenal, but Friday's in particular... goddamn, it nearly had me in tears by the end. More of you need to watch this show.

I saw the first ten minutes or so at NYCC. It was pretty good stuff.

You can always date later. A show premiering is something special, man.

Damn, you and Tai really hit it off together, huh?
Don't think of it as a novel. Think of it as a chance to retroactively win every argument you have ever walked away from.

If you are not watching one of the following shows, you are missing out: House, Burn Notice and Psych.

What exactly are you missing out on by not watching House?  The repetitive nature of every episode?  The characters that seem deep and fleshed out but really turn out to be stagnant and flat?

Maybe the show's better than I give it credit for, but though I liked it at first, it just seemed... repetitive.  If you've seen one show, you've seen a good deal of them.

That's pretty much why I stopped watching. I like the formula, which is why I gladly stuck with it for four seasons, but by the time the new team was situated it just got aggravating.

Burn Notice I need to watch.

I want to pick up the Burn Notice box set. I saw parts of season 1 and it was fantastic. Haven't been able to catch any season 2 or 3 stuff though.

Fox is showing Dollhouse on a Friday? Ouch, that's kind of a death sentence right there. Nothing on that day has worked out for Fox for a decade.

It's also Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku, which probably doom it right there when combined with Fox (they're good together, but combined with Fox...death...)
