I still have a Tuesday night appointment with Justified
My favorite show on TV right now. 
Me too. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
Timothy Olyphant is the very definition of a true Hollywood leading man, and he's never needed box office blowouts to prove it.
The show really captures the essence of Elmore Leonard, and it didn't hurt that in the first season, huge chucks of episodes were lifted right from Riding the Rap and Pronto, the first 2 novels to feature Givens. The new novel, Raylan, also shows up in several dialogue scenes this season, and in last week's kidney stealing plot.
There's nothing better on TV right now

These are the shows I'm watching this season.
Tuesday:
It's no Home Improvement, but it makes me laugh and it's just nice to see that some people can still make multi-camera, studio audience sitcoms, which I prefer over the single-camera, pseudo-documentary approach that so many tend to do these days.
It has an interesting angle for a crime drama, and plus star Poppy Montgomery is quite a looker. 
My favorite current show on TV, which I never thought I'd say about an FX series.
Thursday:
Hands down the funniest show I've watched in a long time. Always cracks me up.
Friday:
I'm usually not much for medical dramas, but this has been my favorite new show of the season. It's been great watching Patrick Wilson's character develop. I'm just afraid this may be the only season.
Along with Justified, this is one of the best crime dramas in a long time. It's nice to have a show with cops who are actually likable (unlike, say, the ones over on the Law & Order shows), not to mention good and honorable. I've never been a fan of corrupt cop shows. Plus, it has a refreshingly strong sense of family that has sorely been missing from TV in recent years.

In case my fellow board members can't tell, I'm currently obsessed with Fringe. It's the best thing I've ever seen. It's so intelligent, so moving, so high-concept that I can't believe it ever managed to get to the airwaves. It's a prime example of what real, nuanced acting is (Anna Torv & John Noble being the prime examples of this). It's also got spot-on directing, cinematograph, special effects and music. I highly recommend it to anyone in search of heartwarming, meaningful storytelling. It's a masterpiece in the making and I really hope that it gets picked up for a 5th season. This show needs a proper ending.
I also never saw a frame of it until last summer via Netflix so those of you who fear not being able to catch up shan't worry. Once the show hits its stride, you'll be whipping through discs faster than a jukebox.
Other shows I'm watching, in a far less obsessive manner, are Mad Men, New Girl, 30 Rock, and Mythbusters.

Party Down
I second this! A hilarious show. Was so sad it ended so soon. Ken Marino is comic gold. Gold, Jerry, gold! Forget guys like Danny McBride; this guy needs his own show.
Marino the boss to Jane Lynch the employee, who's talking on her cell phone on "company time":
"Constance! We do not conduct personal business on...?"
Lynch:
"On golden pond?"

From a recent conversation in another thread...
(players: nxbusby, losher22, and myself)
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
I miss it very much. In my opinion, there will never ever be a greater show then Lost. I love Breaking Bad, and Game of Thrones, but as good as they are, theres just that certain something that Lost had, that was just so fantastic. Can never be topped.
I couldn't be more obsessed with Breaking Bad - thanks for mentioning it. In my humble opinion, the ONLY thing that series is missing is more music! And yet, that's one of the cache characteristics of the show - I almost don't miss music's presence.
Awesome you guys...cuz Breaking Bad is at the top of my list of shows to watch. Very much looking forward to it. But first I will finish my Lost revisit, then pick back up with Damages Season 3. I was going to go the Sons of Anarchy route after that, but I keep thinking more and more (and hearing it from others) that Breaking Bad earns priority. Unless Season 4 of Damages becomes available on Netflix streaming before I finish Lost, Breaking Bad will be next up.
And of course, when Season 7 of Supernatural is released, that gets immediate attention, as does Season 6 of Dexter...neither of which have announced their release dates. 
I also desperately want to revisit one of my all-time favorites that I've only seen all through once, Alias. Outstanding series, that. But that is another story for another time.
