Better Off Ted - I love this quirky bastard of a show.
Community - the Jack Black stuff didn't work for me. The MASH stuff on the other hand was awesome - and the Owen Wilson cameo made me laugh.
Dollhouse - as the show races to its close and is filled with sheer awesome I'm inspired to think what it would be like to one day get a show from Joss Whedon not fucked with by the network. That would be nice.
Leverage - is BACK! Which is a goodness.
Human Target - new show, based on a comic - a mixed bag... Mark Valley is genially appealing - Chi Mcbride is in his 'I'm the exasperated voice of reason' role, which he does well - and Jackie Earle Haley is rather brilliant in role that's equal parts hired gun/sociopath/good guy. But they've tweaked the [rather unfilmable actually] key concept of the character [assuming the identity of the client] and made him into generic bodyguard guy. With generic scriptwriting. Though if they play up his possible death wish thing, that could be interesting. Give it some depth and psychological twist. And the Danny Glover cameo at the end was a nice touch. Check it out for a bit, but the plots and scripts will have to get better to keep my interest. The Japanese in the first show - though clearly 'day-of-memorized-phonetically-kinda-stilted' wasn't as horrible as it could've been - and I dig seeing folks try to pull it off.
Archer - new animated show on FX. Reminds me of nothing so much as The Venture Bros - which is really the biggest compliment I could pay it. Dysfunctional, eminently damaged characters, hilariously funny. Good stuff.
