The Office: I appreciate that it's trying to be its own thing. B-
Kitchen Confidential: Reasonably good. Supporting cast needs improvement except in the breastage department, in which they positively shine. Xander not cut out for sitcom format. B+
Everybody Hates Chris: As long as you take it as more poignant and political than funny, you might enjoy it. To me, it's like Chappelle trying to do "Good Times." C+
How I Met Your Mother: Meh. High concept, leading man is strong; everything else stinks. Willow not cut out for sitcom, but still adorable. NPH is wasted on this, and the other male supporting is atrocious. C+
My Name Is Earl: "Raising Arizona" for the small screen. Jason Lee is better than he was in any shitty Kevin Smith film. A- Strongly recommend.
Desperate Housewives: Wife's show. Seemed okay; they closed down last season's big mystery and teed up a new one with vague S&M overtones, which is nice. HD is not good to Teri Hatcher, BTW. B+?
West Wing: Wife's show. She seems happy with it, but that's just because Leo McGarry gives her a femi-woody. A-?
I'll add others if I can think of them. The basic cable season is over, but if you weren't watching "Rescue Me" (F/X) or "Teachers" (BBCA) or "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" (F/X), you missed out, sucka.

Rescue Me rawks! I thought I was the only fan here. I cant decide if my favorite lines were the tutorial on what kind of sexual behavior with an ex, sister, widow, etc is okay and what isnt. The golden rule of drunkenness, Or the line where Denis leary and his brother are staking claim to which Jackson they are. Great show, except for the montage bullshit at the end of every show
Speaking of tv- my TIVO picked up ANTM instead of Martha last night. Is the Apprentice Martha worth watcing at this point? I have already bailed on the Donald one, giving up several episdoes after Bloated Slave departed.
