The new season is upon us, and with it comes new shows that are great, and many that are not.

I have found Fringe to be the most enjoyable so far even if it is just an X-files clone. Terminator has also been surprisingly strong in its second season. It’s too bad I will be leaving it once Chuck returns. Heroes came back strong last night but they need to kill off some actors. There are way too many story-lines for them to build an audience. Normally I like multiple story lines but most of these people I could care less about. That’s a problem isn’t it? But last nights episode had moments of big screen splendor, that I’m surprised they didn’t try to release it as a summer movie. It would have been better than some of the fare.

I think the writers strike has definitely soured me this year as I don’t see tons of new shows to be excited about, but hopefully something will surprise me. The spring brings more hope with the return of Lost and BSG.
