Now that a we have a couple weeks of the new television season under our belts, I thought I should write a follow-up post to Fall Line-Up. Here's where I'm at regarding the shows I said I planned to watch ...
Desperate Housewives (ABC - Sundays @ 8:00)
So far, the drama has been top notch. I'm anxious to see how the writers wrap up the show for good, and I have every intention of planting myself in front of the television every Sunday evening between now and May to tune in (except for rerun weeks).

Pan Am (ABC - Sundays @ 9:00)
I'm not sold yet, but I'm definitely intrigued. There actually appears to be a deeper storyline than I originally anticipated, beyond the surface level sex, drama, and glamour. I'm going to give this show at least a couple more weeks before I make a decision about it.

Parenthood (NBC - Tuesdays @ 9)
Putting this show back on my list after taking a season off has turned out to be an excellent decision. I was able to catch up quickly thanks to the montage featured on the Emmy Awards and a little recap reading on abc.com. Tuesdays at 9:00 are proving to be not such a good TV watching time for me, but I've been recording it and watching later in the week. I'm already wrapped up in the storyline, and certainly plan to keep watching.

The Office (NBC - Thursdays @ 8:00)
Well, we didn't laugh nearly as much as we were hoping to during the first two episodes this season. The reality is that the show just isn't the same without Michael Scott (funny guy Steve Carell), which we anticipated. However, I think there are plenty of redeeming qualities in the other cast members, so the plan for now is to keep watching. I just don't want to see it be one of those shows that tries to go on without the star and then flops. Time will tell.
The overall verdict: I'm right where I thought I would be, with four television commitments through May. A little escape is never a bad thing.
