New US TV Seasons rock! (so far)

After watching a pre-aired episode of the new season of Dexter, I had high hopes for the rest of the other opening US TV show series, which were re-starting in the next few weeks. And, so far, I've yet to be disappointed.

The first "official" season that re-started that interested me greatly was 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". They opened with a double bill episode (something which I found uncommon, but great all the same), and even though to me the first episode was not the best ever It's Always Sunny ep, it was still good. And the second episode was just classic. And, the third and fourth episodes aired last night, and they are both instant favourites for me already. I'm under the guess that this season will be their best, after all they have a new found confidence in them after being renewed for a few more seasons, rather than hoping they would get renewed after the end of each season. I greatly recommend this show to anybody who likes a good comedy.

Robot Chicken has been great, as always. A must for any Family Guy or spoof/satire fans.

The next season that interested me was Heroes, which resumed on Monday. Season 2 for me was short, and a little uninteresting at times...and I think the producers and director knew that's how a lot of Heroes fans felt. Again, they opened with a double bill episode, and how episode 2 ended is just an absolutely great way of setting a possible scene for the rest of the season to follow on from. With a show like Heroes, it's hard not to say anything and spoil it for everyone else who hasn't watched it (that is, most people in the UK as it doesn't air here for a few weeks yet). But, what I will say is that I think it's going to be a possible Season 1 beater.

I've almost finished downloading the new season first episode of The Office (US), which I'm excited about. I never really watched it until I met Colette, and it is rather funny!

Some other seasons I'm looking forward to starting:

• Desperate Housewives - Colette got me back into it again...despite it being a mostly "girlie" show, I really like it!
• Brothers and Sisters - as above, only I never watched/heard of it before meeting Colette
• Family Guy
• American Dad

And, currently that's all I can think of. The summer of boredom is finally over...I have PLENTY of shows to keep me entertained.
