November sweeps comes to an end this Wednesday and I thought now would be the perfect time to check in on some of my favorite new shows this season and see how they're doing. And, in honor of Thanksgiving, I'll start by saying what I'm thankful for. "V:" What I'm thankful for: Ah, there's so...

I think you know my television pet peeve is when I'm able to play predict-a-plot. You know when ten minutes into a crime drama, you say "that's the killer" and you turn out to be right. Or to pick a very current example, you think you already knew what was up with the new neighbors on...

Amypoehler_parksandrecreation_240 Is "Parks and Recreation," the new comedy premiering Thursday at 8:30 p.m. on NBC, a lot like "The Office?" Yes it is.

Christinaapplegate_samanthawho_240 Many of you have aptly titled "Samantha Who?," which returns to the schedule Thursday at 8:30 p.m. on ABC, "Samantha Where?" The show hasn't been on the air since December 1. ABC kept adding it to the schedule and taking it off to make room for epic long episodes of "The Bachelor." The funny comedy deserves more than a four month break in the middle of the season.

Nicollettesheridan_desperatehousewives_240 I'm going to miss Edie Britt.

We won't learn until April 19 whether Edie survived the strangulation/ car crash/electrocution (although I have to say it's not looking good is it?) on "Desperate Housewives." But we do know that Nicollette Sheridan has stated that she won't be returning to the show next season.

Jayharrington_betteroffted_240 It's not an exaggeration to say that at least once a day I quote "Arrested Development" to someone ("There's always money in the banana stand!"), wish the show was still on the air or cross my fingers that the much talked about "Arrested Development" movie really does happen.

Elizadushku_dollhouse_240 You know how some people make a new year's resolution to watch less TV? Well, obviously, THAT's not going to happen for me any time soon. I don't even understand the objective. Watch less TV? What a blasphemous statement.

Jamesspader_bostonlegal_s4_240 Last night's episode of Boston Legal was, as Alan (James Spader) summed up, eventful. The firm has gone bankrupt, Shirley and Carl are engaged and Alan put forth a convincing speech about the state of racism in America.
