American Autumn

So the autumn TV schedules are up for the 5 US TV stations. Any americans reading this will find their heads may have exploded from my refusal to say 'fall' or 'network'. Here's what I think are the highlights.

ABC
Carpoolers (Tuesday 8:30pm)
Supposedly a single camera comedy that's funny according to the AV Club. I had something in my eye just then so I typed that with my eyes shut, go me. BBC3's Rush Hour showed that cars don't have to be funny, so I'm hopeful that this will work.

Errr...that's it for ABC. Unless you're one of the people who think Ugly Betty is funny.

CBS
How I Met Your Mother (Monday 8pm)
I watch this for Alyson Hannigan.

Two and a Half Men (Monday 9pm)
I watch this for Charlie Sheen.

Rules of Engagement (Monday 9:30pm)
I watch this for David Spade.

FOX
Kitchen Nightmares (Wednesday 8pm)
This show is brilliant in the UK, I don't see why it won't work there.

NBC
Too much stuff so I'll just list what I like on here.
1 vs 100
Deal or No Deal
Scrubs
My Name Is Earl

Yes, I know Heroes is on NBC. However after about 5 episodes I realised what I found out about Lost. Its boring.

Some stuff on the cable channels, The Sarah Silverman Program returns to Comedy Central as does South Park. However the big ratings banker there will be the return of Futurama. FX has a new series of Morgan Spurlock's brilliant series 30 Days too.

In the midseason I highly look forward to the US version of The IT Crowd on NBC, I heard that it has the same writers as our series so high hopes for that working. No news on The Amazing Race though.

Oh, and everyone with Bittorrent access should be hitting up Fox Reality's superb series Solitary. Version 2.0 is going up on trackers everywhere now.
