Have you tried "Friday Night Lights" ? I figured since you like crappy Texas football teams you might like a crappy show about Texas football teams. I kid. "Friday Night Lights" is a much better show than the Cowboys are a football team.

I remain enamored of several programs at the moment, including How I Met Your Mother on CBS Mondays, Carpoolers on ABC Tuesdays, and 30 Rock on NBC Thursdays. All of these are 30 minute comedies which require nothing in the way of heavy commitments, although How I Met Your Mother does reward heavy commitments, whilst still not requiring one.

Light dramawise, I'm enjoying Chuck on NBC Mondays. It's a bit more continuity heavy but still accessible enough for a casual viewer to enjoy.

Pushing Daisies on ABC Wednesdays has some charms, too, but it's awfully twee and yet a bit too mired in death during the family hour for my liking.

Finally, I recently discovered Psyche (on USA Network at various times) and find it to be one irresistibly charming and funny, a big surprise given that I'm just not a big fan of police procedurals. Psyche works around this by focusing far more on the engaging characters and their interactions. It's frequently silly but always clever about being so.

Writers' strike, schmiters' strike! I'm psyched up for another season of So You Think You Know The Song Lyrics?

I have to concur with the first poster. FNL is a damn good show. And I'm SOOO not a TV person.

I guess I watch so little TV now, because I didn't even recognize "Tell Me You Love Me" as the name of a TV show.

For a long time, "The Sopranos" was the only show I watched faithfully, even when it was crap. For a while there was overlap with "Prison Break," which from the beginning I watched just as faithfully. However, I went on a long vacation last month and missed three episodes. Now I need to torrent those, plus the next couple AND tonight's, because the show is so intricately crafted that you just can't watch it out of order. You would need to torrent (or buy on DVD) the first two seasons, and this season's previous episodes, to get the full experience of the show.

I've seen only the first season of "24" -- and even then on DVD, because a friend insisted on buying me the first season (last year!) so I could finally see what he was talking about.

If I'm home Friday nights, "Monk" and "Psyche" are so fun to watch. There's small continuity in that we might learn things about the characters, but future episodes are sufficiently self-contained and not dependent on remembering what we've seen before.

Someday I'll watch "30 Rock" to see what everyone's talking about.

FNL is enjoyable when the bad writing doesn't get in the way of the great characters.

When and on what channel is FNL?

I think it's NBC on Fri's at 9. All the eps are available for free on NBC's website or for purchase from iTunes.

Another stupid strike by a bunch of liberal wussietards i hope many people just turn off prime time TV and go to cable TV and tell those over paid bunch of wacks to TAKE A HIKE

Well, they could always catch a show on Broadway...oh, wait...

Well, the writers are getting screwed.

"Friday Night Lights" is good, but it's gotten a bit soapy this year. My wife and I like to say that it's the perfect date show -- part sports drama, part "The O.C."

"Bionic Woman" is surprisingly not bad. It's by some of the same people behind the updated "Battlestar Gallactica" and even has one of the lead actresses from BSG in a recurring role.

And of course, "South Park" is still awesome, but I think the season finale is tomorrow. "The Sarah Silverman Program" is just as politically incorrect, and somewhat funny, but not as funny as "South Park."
