Fall TiVo Primetime Schedule

Since the Fall Television schedule is finalized, I found it useful to go out and try to map out what's going to be TiVo'd this year.  Since we have two of them (at least until the Series 3 dual tuners are released) it's a bit limiting.  Thankfully, it all seems to be working out, save for a few double dips here and there.  This schedule does not include the mid-season premieres of both 24 and Scrubs nor does it include late night and daytime shows.  Couch potato city, baby.

There is some light commentary here.  I've already seen the pilots for both Studio 60 and Kidnapped and both were very dramatic with Studio 60 being quite a bit better than Kidnapped.  There's three helpings of JJ now during the week with Lost, What About Brian, and Six Degrees, so weepy mature melodramas seem to be par for the course.  I'm also very intrigued by the return of Calista Flockhart in Brothers & Sisters, but maybe more interested in seeing how a telenovela translates to screen with Ugly Betty.  Just looking at all of this tells me this is a lot of television.  We'll see how it all plays out when the rest of the shows start to premiere in late September.
