Fall TV
Ugly Betty
The second season is starting out well and like last year, it's cramming season-long plots into one or two episodes. That's brave! What if they run out of ideas by January? I guess it doesn't matter as long as Vanessa Williams keeps playing Wilhemina as cartoony and evil as possible.

After three episodes, I think I like this show. I'm not someone who needs to watch TV (ever) so new shows don't get much of a chance, but this one is fun and funny. Plus, it has Yvonne Strahovski (at right) who can look like whoever you want her to look like. She's Christine Taylor (Hey Dude!) to me and Elizabeth Rohm (Law and Order) to Cylinda. We could put our hands together but I'd want more Christine and she'd want more Elizabeth in the mix. We're going to ignore the fact that maybe Christine Taylor and Elizabeth Rohm look like each other. Cause they don't.
Reaper
I haven't caught up with Tivo yet so going on just two episodes, I'm still not sure about this one. The lead character Sam is such a nice guy, but his best friend needs to have a lot less scenes. There seems to be a formula to the plot that could get old quick. At least the devil is a little unpredictable (and fashionable!).

I have no good reason why I watch this (now syndicated) show except maybe that it's fascinating in how many stupid characters one show can carry. I know every show has stupid people in it, but the depth and sheer amount of stupidity here is hilarious. There are 2 non-stupid people in a cast of 7. That there is good odds that the humor won't be mean-spirited or insulting. It's just stupid humor and I shouldn't admit it, but I really GET it.
Yeah, I shoulda kept that to myself.
