Hot damn. Okay, I was going to wait until at least after I'd, you know, actually seen all the new shows I'm interested in this fall, but it looks like Reaper and Pushing Daisies are going to be the two ending up with definite season passes for me. I was underwhelmed with Chuck (it was cute, and I laughed a bit, but it just came off very meh to me, and the premise causes my inner ubernerd much wailing and gnashing of teeth) -- I'll keep watching for at least couple of weeks, but it ultimately may just pile up on the Tivo and I won't bother with watching it unless I read it was decent. Bionic Woman has some good things going for it (Eick, Sackhoff, I am a BSG fangirl apparently, etc), but sounds like it's got a lot of problems backstage (they've supposedly borrowed some people from FNL to try and help clean things up), and the reactions I've read have been overwhelmingly meh, so I don't know I'm going to be sticking with it. And I am inexplicably Tivoing Dirty Sexy Money for this week (mostly because the commercials looked mildly amusing, and hey, Peter Krause), but I have a feeling it may be a "watch for 15 minutes and realize I hate this" type thing. (On the other hand, I was convinced I was going to hate FNL last year before I saw it, so....yeah. But then it had had some really positive buzz already. I haven't heard anything about this.)

I haven't seen Pushing Daisies (I know it's not on yet, but the pilot has been around for quite a while in various places, apparently), but it's gotten really positive reviews; the only negative thing I've heard about it is that it's too twee for some people, but man, I've been to Disney World like 20 times and I still love it. I can take a hell of a lot of twee. And it has people from Wonderfalls involved, which is like 15 million points right there.

Reaper, I had very little knowledge of until basically this week. Before that, all I knew was that Kevin Smith was somehow involved, and that there were generally positive impressions, and that it was vaguely similar in tone to Chuck, but that was enough for me to give it a sample. After Chuck was mildly disappointing, I was looking forward to seeing if this one was any better (I can definitely see the comparisons, there are a fair number of similarities). And dude, I loved this. Instant season pass for me. I don't know why I love this so much more than Chuck, but I do. Seriously, check it out.
