OK, so NOW I'm into Heroes. I watched the first episode, didn't do it for me. Also, Adrian Pasdar still squicks me out because of Profit. In my mind, Adrian Pasdar himself sleeps in a cardboard box. Then, saw the first half of the second ep, fell asleep. This was when they were first run. Since I didn't get hooked, I dropped it.

But now, with so many show on Hiatus, I though I'd try again. And I'm totally into it. MIlo Ventimiglia, who I'd alwys thought was just this weasely-looking drip, is actually very cute and endearing. The Indian guy? Homina homina... Ali Larter doesn't piss me off nearly as much as she often does, although there are moments where she's pushing it. And the fact that the girl who did Dot's voice in A Bug's Life grew up to be a totally hot indestructible cheerleader? I'm down with that. And also I want her hair.

I think what made me want to watch the show suddenly was seeing the guy who plays Hiro on an episode of the Sarah Silverman Program. I liked that crossover. You don't usually see people who star on a big network hit playing a grocery store clerk on a random-ass basic cable show about the most socially oblivious and mean spirited hot jewish woman in Los Angeles. Incidentally, the Silverman show is entertaining, but the jokes run out pretty fast.

I'm also trying to work my way into Jericho. It's not a very good show, but there are a couple of dangling questions that I want to see answered. I may just start doing that via recap, though, and save myself the money.

Time for sleep.

Exactly. One episode and you've seen the entire season.

...Jericho. It's not a very good show...

Isn't that the truth. I wouldn't bother wasting your time on it. It's in its own little dimension and should be labeled sci-fi for how loose its grip on reality is.

The thing with Jericho is, I'm intrigued enough to want to know what the answers are (who bombed them, what the deal is with Hawkins, where Jake was), but the show itself is crappy and badly written and badly acted. So I may just read the recaps on TWoP to see how the plot moves along.
