'House,' 'Heroes,' 'Dancing with the Stars': What to watch, record and ignore on Mondays

I watch nothing live. Big Bang Theory will get close to live and maybe Castle. 10pm is easy because there are only two networks at that time this season. CSI:Miami would probably go if it wasn't for the lack of competition. I'm on the west coast with satellite, so cable channels show their primetime stuff from 5pm - 8pm my time, so they don't compete with broadcast channels for me, thus Greek will probably be the first thing I watch tonight.

1. All 4 CBS comedies, CSI: Miami
2. Heroes, Trauma, Castle
3. House, Lie to Me

With all due respect to Rick, who is now officially my favorite ratings reporter. :) I don't think too many people need to be told what to watch...

It's a conceit of critics that they must enlighten us poor sods and I think it's one of the two main reasons why so few even read what they say.

Guys, this is an opinion piece. Like all critics you shouldn't make your choices based on one lone post but get to know what this person has to say regarding a variety of shows. Some things you'll agree on. Some things you won't. That's how criticism works. You find the critics whose tastes are similar to yours but who actually have the time to watch everything. They're there to help guide your viewing and help you discover things you might not ordinarily watch as much as they are there to validate your choices or steer you clear of something bad. There's a reason there's a lot of critics out there, because everyone's tastes are different.

I totally agree that House is a must watch show. However, I also 100 percent disagree about Two and a Half Men. That show NEVER gets old. Also one of the best on television; sometimes on House I get really sick of Foreman's ego and looking at Thirteen.

Wow, just his opinion. Don't bite his head off. I too have stopped watching DWTS on Mondays. I watch the Tuesday results show which also shows a brief recap of Monday and they also do the best dance from Monday over again and after that I've pretty much seen Monday's show. I have too many conflicts on Monday to put that on the list.

"HOUSE" is a must see this season, every season they add a new twist.

This one is easy. No recording necessary. I'll be watching CBS. I don't care for dance competitions and I've lost all interest in House. Heroes has completely fallen apart and the CW is dead to me.

I'll probably be the only one, but I'll be watching "One Tree Hill". I know, I know...what can I say? I'll stay faithful to it, like a dummy. LOL
"House" will be taped, and then I'm hoping CBS will have full episodes of "HIMYM" and "Accidentally on Purpose"(at least want to check this one out).
If not, I'll try to find them elsewhere on-line.

As for "DWTS", I might try to find clips of Melissa Joan Hart, otherwise it's just too dang long...and their music annoys me.

Hope everyone enjoys the new Season!!!

I can see already that in almost every case I will be watching different shows, and *ignoring* different shows from our esteemed blogger. I recommend to everyone that they read the descriptions from the networks, watch the previews, and make their own decisions.

yeah, this is just Rick's list, which you can take or leave with a grain of salt (as you wish). anyway, it's just interesting to hear what he thinks, as many Zap2it readers value his opinion. and personally, i really like this particular column.
