No soap has had the power to draw me back into the realm of multiple disappointments yet. ;)
My favorites on the docket to return are Cold Case and The Shield (way too far down the road though, unfortunately, from where I'm standing, but gracious that is an incredible show)...no more Third Watch...*sniffle, sob*...but I'm trying to be strong without it. ;)
Last season, I enjoyed Lost until the end, and then something started to fade for me. Instead of being anxious for secrets to unfold, the tides turned and I started to get annoyed at too much promise of answers and no cigar. My patience started to wane, I guess, and my interest dropped. I'm going back into it again this year, but I want it to start to show me something again.
CSI: Las Vegas has also been a staple for me---not my favorite show, but a good one well worth tuning in for each week---but the formula changes last season took it down a peg. It's another show I need more from to really make the time for this season.
I absolutely, positively, more than completely -adored- TNT's summer cable series, The Closer with Kyra Sedgwick, and I'm absolutely, positively, and completely mourning its absence already after last week's season finale. While it will return for another season, I'm guessing that means next June, which seems an impossibly long wait right about now. Just in love with it. Felt like smoking at the end of every episode...or wished that I did just so that I could for that specific purpose. ;)
Of the newbies coming out, I think I'm going to try Bones, the forensic anthropologist crime drama (crime drama -and- anthropology, all mixed into one? Heavenly!), Criminal Minds (fell in love with Mandy Patinkin in Chicago Hope years ago, and producer and episode writer Ed Bernero was producer, and writer behind the best of Third Watch), maybe Close to Home, and Commander-in-Chief (because while I -hate- politics and don't see a show about them becoming an escape for me, the man behind Third Watch's Bosco has been cast and I'll need a fix.)
Because I'm still behind the times with a basic cable system, I am forced outside of the realm of all of those premium channel gems out there, but one day I hope to hit the newly introduced NC lottery and buy all of those lovely sets on DVD to catch up with the times. (A friend sent me the first two seasons of The Wire and I'm in love with that show as well. ;)).
Oh yeah, and my guilty pleasure? Big Brother 6. *looks shamefaced and then inches away* Possibly the new Survivor season when that ends, because though the premise of the show got old after the premiere season, the cultural anthropology-enthusiast in me wants to see the whole civilization of the Inca thing.
