BECAUSE EVEN WE HAVE A FINITE SCALE FOR MEDIA CONSUMPTION: We're now two full weeks into the fall season, and it's already time to ask what's getting TiVoed, and what's getting TiNoed among the new series. For me:
  • TiVoed--Fringe, 90212.0 (since I have a dual tuner--if I didn't, Dr. Hizzy would win out), and the surprise Privileged (which is basically "What if Rory Gilmore couldn't find a job after graduating Yale, and wound up tutoring Blair Waldorf's cousins in Florida?," with the benefit of a lead who's much more adept at the comedy than Alexis Bledel was).
  • TiNoed--Raising The Bar (I don't have room for another generic lawyer/cop show unless it's anchored by a strong performance--e.g., Holly Hunter in Saving Grace--and Mark Paul Gosselaar's hair doesn't count), True Blood (aside from the cool audio effects when Sookie is having a vision, a strange mixture of boring and self-important).
Anyone have other thoughts.
