Of course I've been watching LOST but I've also begun Avatar: The Last Airbender and watched the first three episodes. So far it's good but not amazing (yes, I'll give it more time). I've also been watching some of Smallville, Season 7 (is this the most up and down series ever in terms of quality?) :p
Pushing Daises, Season 2 finally came to Australia, so I've been watching that also. It's a great series but sadly the ending was very rushed due to it being quickly cancelled.

Currently watching:
Doctor Who - Season 11

Warrior, TLA begins rather slowly and is a little goofy; by the middle of the first season it becomes more intense as more of the background and mythology of the Avatar world is revealed. At one point Katara even tells Aang that "you're not the goofy little kid we found in the iceberg." I prefer seasons 2 and 3 to season 1, though I haven't watched the first season recently.

The demise of Heroes doesn't surprise me too much, though it started so well! It seemed to be floundering a bit in the last couple seasons; there's only so many ways you can have the "we're going to reveal the existence of humans with powers" plotline.

I'll miss FlashForward too. Hopefully the upcoming season finale will offer a little closure rather than a cliffhanger. ;)

Glad to see V make the cut. I suspect that following Lost gave it a ratings boost; it'll be interesting to see what happens next season without that help.

But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.

Bad news for FlashForward fans. According to Entertainment Weekly and Film.com, ABC has canceled the show. They have renewed V though.

I haven't had a chance to see it yet but I am upset about the cancellation,
I missed it when it started and the netflix wait is very long for me. I'm still hoping to see season one on DVD.

They cancel too many good shows lately. First SCC and now Flashforward X(

On the bright side I'm very excited and anxious about the new episode of Lost this Tuesday. I just hope it explains more then the last one.

My thoughts on "Flesh and Blood":

Spoiler
This episode, with one reservation, was pretty fantastic. Finding out more about the cracks in the universe was great, since we haven't really had any new information since the first episode. The Angels were great as well. "Blink" established their creepy status, but these episodes really showed just how twisted and malevolent they are. The only part of the episode I really didn't care for was the end when Amy randomly decided the Doctor was going to be her new boyfriend. That was just plain out of character for her. The Doctor's protestations that he was too old for her were kind of laughable considering the whole Rose debacle. :P Anyway, learning more about River was great. I'm wondering if she killed the Doctor and that's the good man she and the Bishop referred to.

I'm excited about tonight's episode of Lost. Only this one and the final one is this Sunday. It has gone by so fast peeps. I'm really going to miss watching this show. To me best show ever made on this planet by far. Lost rules!

I've seen Get Smart before with my aunt. That was five years ago and I hardly remember it except I know it is funny. She has a whole DVD collection of them. ;)

"Missed it by that much!" - Maxwell Smart

Less than a day after the series finale of Lost, another long-running show I watch came to an end: 24.

Spoiler
The only thing I knew for certain was that Jack Bauer would survive - since strong indications of a 24 movie have already been made.

It was nice to see President Taylor opt for integrity at some point - I suspected she might, though there was no certainty the writers wouldn't opt for her to sign the treaty and then have events transpire to topple her Presidency instead.

But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.

I don't know if any of you seen this or have but, The Gates: Oh my, I'm so tired of all these vampire shows now. I mean we aleardy have True Blood (which is automatically disgusting every corner you watch it) and The Vampire Diares (aka the teen struck story that twilight ripped off). I wish TV would give it a rest now and that some romantic Vampire stories are just better off left as books.

Though I think I might give The Gates a chance if it's done right and not Twilightish.

I'm actually interested in checking out the The Gates. I think it's slightly amusing that Rhona Mitra played a vampire in a blockbuster film (Underworld: Rise of the Lycans) and now she's playing one again on prime time television. ;)) I doubt it will be Twilight-ish but it does look a little Desperate Housewives-ish. :P

'tis the week of season (or series) finales! LOST ended on Sunday night, Legend of the Seeker ended last night, as well as 24 — neither of which will be returning for another season. And we can all sing praises that American Idol finally ends tomorrow night. Bring on General Larry Platt! ;)

Summer shows that I can't wait for:

Lie to Me returns June 7. Tim Roth is an amazing actor and I love the whole concept of the show. Dr. Cal Lightman and his colleagues use various methods of lie detection, all involving facial expressions ("microexpressions"), body language, and speech patterns to assist in solving cases. It's based on real-life psychologist Paul Ekman's findings and it's really cool to see how it all works.

White Collar returns July 13! Another show with a great concept. FBI employs a con man as a "consultant" for cases involving theft and forgery. It had a really fun (very clean) first season with tons of twists and one giant cliff hanger of a finale so I can't wait for the second season. ;))

I still don't think any of the new vamp shows/franchises have come close to being as memorable and character-driven as Buffy, which is why I haven't bothered with many of them. (Seriously, the anti-Bella and anti-Edward are Buffy and Angel; notice how she doesn't try to kill herself when her man has to "leave forever"?)

But I do like Rhona Mitra, so I might have to keep an eye on this one...

I watched the tv series sometimes of Buffy but I could never officially get into it. I loved the movie that was made like 20 years ago though. The vampire stories I find more legit are The Vampire Chronicles by Alice Rice. Her stories deserve the fame to be on TV and liked more.

Lie to Me returns June 7.

I find "Lie to Me" fascinating! What interesting characters!

I liked Buffy the first few seasons, but then it got to where I couldn't watch it anymore--too much weird stuff.
Speaking of Buffy and David Boreanaz~~
"Bones" just had their season finale and it was a good one. Can't wait to see how they 'fix' it! (At least I think it's coming back).

I'm very sad that Ghost Whisperer was canceled; I liked that show. But, I think it was starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel for storylines. (One of the main reasons I like the show is because I've seen so many of the sets at Universal and around L.A.!!)

Love God, love people

I watched the occasional Ghost Whisperer but agreed the most recent episodes were, well, meh. ;))

In addition to the already-mentioned Burn Notice (returns June 3), another summer show I watch returns July 9: Eureka, on SyFy. Too bad it's on Fridays; I'll have to tape it (I'm usually not in front of the TV that night).

But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.
