Just curious about everyone else's plans for the coming television season... what's returning you can't wait for, or which show has outstayed its welcome?

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what happens next in Heroes, although if what "happened" at the end of S1 actually happened then that could dampen my enthusiasm considerably.

House I like, but it has been mostly ruined this year by the vindictive bullying cop story, so if it can get back to its roots then I'll be interested in watching.

NCIS has gone off on a wander this year. I loved a lot of episodes for the first three seasons, though I was extremely relieved to get rid of the prissy and immensely irritating Kate (if anyone could have made me switch off, it was her). S4 seems to have lost its way, lost the teamwork, focussed far too much on the romance-that-isn't, and tried to be clever when it isn't being anything of the sort. And there hasn't been anywhere near enough Tony in peril for my liking.

Boston Legal has lost a lot of what was interesting to me, so I watch it every so often. Numbers I like but never manage to watch an episode without needing to do something else at the same time - it doesn't keep my interest on its own. GA is fun, but is basically a soap. You'd have to pay me a lot to watch Lost, 24, Battlestar Galactica, and Smallville. Torchwood was great in places but very disappointing in that there was far too little focus on Jack and too much on Gwen (and other characters) - hopefully they can improve on that for next year. Without a Trace has pulled me back in a bit after all the romantic crap pushed me away, but not enough that the latest ep with yet more bloody kissing between work colleagues hasn't made me question whether to just give up now.

I guess I'm not easily pleased these days. At the moment I'm watching Doctor Who, which isn't bad but Tennant isn't a great Doctor IMO. I like Jericho but it's cancelled. I like SG-1 but it's cancelled. SGA is as good as cancelled for me because of the complete balls-up they made of the end of S3 and the horrors of what's coming in S4.

There's sadly little Brit stuff that I watch - mostly documentaries or the odd short series or one-off drama.
