I love LOST as well. I was real intrigued by FlashForward early on, but it got a little dull toward the middle and I stopped keeping up with it. A shame since it had a good story idea.
You're right! Trying to create original programming for basic cable is just dumb when there are reruns available of the 12 different Law and Order shows.
If I'm being honest, I've seen Rescue Me and The Sheild once each, and I just didn't like them very much. Also, the commercials don't make them seem very good either.
I rarely watch TV, but I do know that the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is on next Tuesday. I'll probably watch that.
Rescue Me took a few episodes for me to get hooked. The addiction lasted until the mid-point of this past season, where it got a bit dull (perhaps because they went to a full 22 episode season). However, I plan on watching them soon. It's Always Sunny has been kind of disappointing to me this season. There have been a few good episodes, but no stand outs like Eagles Tryouts, Dumpster Baby, etc. I will have to check Sons of Anarchy out.
