We’re a few weeks into the season, long enough to watch at least three episodes of every show in the new TV crop. And now’s the time when us TV junkies have to start making some hard choices: specifically, what shows to jettison from our DVR?
Me? I’m just about done with Journeyman (pictured; it’s like Quantum Leap, without QL’s terrific, baseline premise: he’s always hoping the next leap will take him home) and Dirty Sexy Money (I just don’t have room in my life for a wacky evening soap, no matter how good it may be). I’m on the fence with Reaper (loved the pilot, but the second episode whiffed something fierce) and Chuck (the producers are working overtime trying to find ways to shoehorn a tech-wank into the spy-drama-of-the-week, and the strain is starting to show).
And, despite TiVo-ing the pilots for Cane and Moonlight, I didn’t watch either. Every time I went to my Now Playing menu, those yellow exclamation points were just taunting me…to the point where I deleted them to avoid that harsh glare.
What shows have you booted out the door?

Dirty Sexy Money. There is nobody to cheer for, I don’t particularily LIKE anyone.
I’m totally done with Back to You. It gets less funny every episode.
I like Journeyman and Cane. I usually will watch anything with time travel and Cane is getting better every week.
I was hoping (because I like Jerry O’Connell) that Carpoolers would be decent, but I was done with that after the first 10 minutes. Same with Big Shots – likable cast, dumb show.
Unlike others (mom!) I didn’t tune into every new show. I am still liking Chuck, loving Pushing Daisies and on the fence with Reaper. I started Moonlight, and walked out a half hour in (my mom gave it two episodes). Those are the only new shows I bothered to even try on this season.
I think the cast of Journeyman is great, and am especially happy to see Kevin McKidd and Reed Diamon as brothers, but I don’t know that I can stick with the show for a couple of reasons. One is 10 pm shows are just too tough. The second is they need to address why he is journeying soon (and why his former girlfriend seems able to control her movements through time).
Pushing Dasies is so saccharine sweet it makes my teeth hurt and Private Practice just ruined Addison for me
I love Michael Vartan, and the rest of the cast is very likable, but Big Shots needs better writers. The premise could be interesting.
The Bionic Woman–the writing is just so bad that I space out every episode. What a waste of my time!
It’s not a new show, but I am so bored with Desperate Housewives.
I agree about Journeyman, Back to You and Carpoolers. I LOVE DirtySexyMoney and LIFE.
Still loving Reaper, Chuck, Pushing Daisies, and Journeyman. Thinking Bionic Woman will be the first show erased from the DVR.
I dropped Journeyman almost immediately. I couldn’t even make it through the pilot. I’ve recorded a couple episodes of Chuck but haven’t watched them, and I just didn’t think Reaper was that good.
Bionic Woman big time! Followed by Dirty Sexy Money, and, I say this with alot of regret, but I just can`t stand it this year, Heroes.
Gave up on DSM and Journeyman after 2 weeks. Still watching Bionic Woman and Chuck. Never watched anything else that was new this season.
