I have not seen one episode of any of them! Can't help you out. Just by the title I would drop Gilmore Girls. :) Just TiVo them all and you can stretch it out for 2 years!

I'm now hooked on Lost...Bryan & I have been checking it out of the library. We're still on season 1 so we aren't watching it on TV, but I would keep that! I am also addicted to Heroes & Studio 60... I've heard wonderful things about Grey's Anatomy (another one that I'm planning to get from the library), and I am hooked on The Office (which is hilarious!). So this doesn't do anything to encourage you to drop programs, but I know where you're coming from with the TV problems!
I have also found Studio 60 to be intriguing but must be honest in saying that I am getting tired of each storyline seeming to bash Christians. Maybe, hopefully, for once they'll bash environmentalists. But it's still a good show with a great cast and good plot stories.
Since you are following Lost and it takes alot of concentration, I would pick that one. Also if you have been faithful to Gilmore Girls for this long, guilty as it is...keep at it.
Though I would record as many of the shows you would like and maybe just spread em out a little if you want to keep up with them. Of course I stay up later.
Gilmore Girls sucked Jonathan and I in straight away. So weird that it would to because we didn't really want to watch it. Great writing! I heard an interview with maybe and actress or writer involved with it on NPR one day. I had to drive around listening to it but the writing plays well even on the radio; that's wierd. Of course I've only seen it like twice.
Studio 60 will suck you in every week with the writitng too. Aaron Sorkin is a troubled genius of a writer. He wrote "The West Wing". But then again you and I may be crazy christians and not know it. In real life Sorkin has a broad definition of crazy christian.
We are hooked on The Office in our house, ER is trumping Grey's Anatomy this season, and all the gals on staff at our church get together to watch Gilmore Girls every week, but I've never gone despite constant poking and prodding. But now that I have all these glowing reviews of Gilmore Girls maybe I should start going.
Hmmm... not sure you guys are helping. Well, at this point Grey's, Lost, and Studio 60 look like they will make the cut. I'll just keep recording the rest and hope that I'm home sick some day. :)

Isn't that the beauty of DVR? Save Gilmore Girls for a home sick day.

[Photo]I'm in a bit of a bind this fall premier season...there are too many good shows on television!!! Normally I have 2 or at most 3 shows that I follow on a weekly basis, but this year I feel overrun by good TV. What should I cut out? I want to watch...
Greys Anatomy because I instantly fell in love with the characters the first time I watched it. Not many shows can make me laugh out loud, but Christina on Grey's manages to get me in every episode. I'm a little tired of Meredith & McDreamy's pathetic drama...but so many great characters and so many great actors.
Despite growing frustration over being so clueless, I can't stop watching Lost. What the heck is going on? Has there ever been a more intriguing show? I know if I stop watching they will reveal everything in the subsequent episode.
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip sucked me right in from the pilot. I love how this show is dealing with a Christian storyline in a new way. I'm really curious to see where they take that.
Because it is getting all of the buzz, I recorded and watched the first two episodes of Heroes this past week. It might be a little dark for my tastes, but it's another one of those "What is going on?" shows that I like. But can I really afford more cluelessness if I keep Lost in the rotation?
OK. This is where you might stop reading. But it is time for me to confess I've been a faithful watcher of Gilmore Girls. It is my guilty pleasure. I've always loved the dialogue on this show. The storyline is getting a bit stale, but do I bail on a show when I've seen just about every episode?
The final show that's been finding space in my DVR is 6 Degrees. Has anyone except me watched it? I haven't heard anyone talking about it, but so far it's been pretty good. I'm giving it a chance because it is a J.J. Abrams series and, well, I owe it to him after Alias and Lost.
So what's your opinion? If you had to pick 2 shows off this list which would you choose? Or would you suggest something else? Keep in mind I'm not a reality show fan or an off-the-wall comedy sitcom fan. Some other options might be dropping a few friends or slacking off at work and keeping all the shows, but that's probably not the right choice.

Just chiming in on Grey's Anatomy. I love that show! It is one of my few guilty pleasures.
