Any good series start this season in the US?

Hey guys. I was just wondering if there is anything I need to be on the lookout for, when released over here. We usually get the new series 6-12 months after you guys.

So.. anything new and awesome out there?

I can only say what I am watching. The new shows I like have been Mercy, Flash Forward, NCIS Los Angelas, the Forgotten, and Stargate Universe. Mercy and the Forgotten are possibilities for early cancelation.

Mercy is the only medical drama since the early days of ER that I've liked. It focuses around nurses and I've found it entertaining. Flash Forward is based on a book (so far the book is better) and has some neat ideas but there are too many characters and too much conspiracy. NCIS LA has been entertaining and fun. Forgotten is a different take on the cop dramas and the weakest new show I watch. Stargate Universe has been very good. It is different and unlike anything I've really seen.

I have to second Stargate Universe. I'm really loving it. It's not like the original series, it's more grim and gritty and focused more on pure survival than exploration (so far, at least). It feels more like an epic movie than like a TV show. I hope it keeps up this way.

Stargate Universe is the only thing I've heard of. I don't really care much about the networks anymore, and I'm not interested in paying for cable given how much I'd have to pay when I'd watch only about 3 or 4 channels. If Stargate Universe gets synidcated like the other two series were, then I'll probably be watching it next year.

Based on the first episode that just premiered recently, USA's "White Collar" is going to be a show to watch.

(And it's not a new series this season- started as a mid-season replacement in the spring- but NBC's Castle with Nathan Fillion is a really enjoyable show.)

If Stargate Universe gets synidcated like the other two series were, then I'll probably be watching it next year.

I don't pay for cable either. I've been watching Stargate Universe exclusively through Hulu.

Hulu - Stargate Universe

I think they can only keep five episodes at a time, and two-parters count as two, so if you want to try Hulu you can may only be able to get the pilot for another week or so until the new episode airs.

My favorite new show of the season is Glee. I'm also enjoying Eastwick, but it's not doing well in the ratings. I've seen a few episodes of Modern Family, but unfortunately it's on opposite Glee.

 

[AFGNCAAP]

Not sure if another thread has covered this, but...

On the animation side of things, there's Titan Maximum (which is a decent send-up of Voltron & the like), and season 4 of The Venture Bros.

Really been grooving on the new Venture Bros. season—par for the course. Really good about maintaining continuity (for ex., kept all the mentions about Capt. Sunshine by the Monarch intact [death of Wonderboy; Capt. Sunshine thinking the Monarch's invulnerable; etc.]), & answered some questions & created more in the process. And a slew of movie references thrown in (no Star Wars ones that I've seen, so far).

 

[Shroomy]

Modern Family and Community are probably one of the two best US sitcoms in ages (since the premiere of How I Met Your Mother). Cougar Town has potential, but they really need to tone it down a notch.

I may take a look, though I don't always like watching really long videos on a computer. Sometimes they just don't load very well, and it takes longer to watch them then it would if it were just on TV.

Does the series have any significant spoilers for the last season of Atlantis?
