Best "new" shows this season

Yes, I know the season is well underway and the writers' strike wreaking havoc on programming, but let's just take a second, this far in, to remark on our new favorites:

Reaper - Watch it. Love it. Best new show of the season. It gets better every week. I know a lot of people are missing this because it is hiding over on the CW, but trust me, you should be watching.

Dirty, Sexy, Money--Yay! A grown up show that's fun and smart and keeps you guessing. Plus, bonus, it's a dysfunctional family that makes your family look like the damn Waltons in comparison. Great, dirty, sexy, fun.

Pushing Daisies-- Love, love, love this. Love Chi McBride whose facial expressions alone are worth watching the show for. Adore Kristin Chenowith. Perfect, she's just perfect. It's quirky and fun and completely different. Which, of course, means it will be soon cancelled and sold on DVD with "bonus episodes." Go watch while you can.

Journeyman - Yup, Time Traveler's Wife but somehow different. And he grows on you. Did you know she was going to be from the past? I never saw it coming. And that just makes it better.

Ooh....how could I almost forget....Private Practice--A spinoff that puts the original to shame. How hot was this week? Taye Diggs. 'nuf said. This is my guilty pleasure during the week.

So, which of the new shows have you stuck with and which did you kick off the DVR?

Harmony was all grown up and feelin' feisty

I've been recording Reaper lately. I'm a huge Kevin Smith fan so I thought I would give it a shot. It has its good and bad moments but it may be just quirky enough to stay around if it picks up a following. It reminds me of an edgier Buffy--or some odd Buffy/Clerks hybrid.

But!!!--speaking of Buffy. This week's episode featured Mercedes McNab. Harmony! And she wasn't ditzy. She was a little scary. It took me a little bit to place her when I saw her rockin' the 70s outfit but there it was, right there on the screen, Harmony was back.

Just thought I post a Buffy sighting.
