    Notes

    • The season 4 premire of Bones is set in London, so expect a pretty hyped advertising campaign from Sky. Anyone remember when they were gearing up to air the British episode of The Simpsons a few years back?
    • Season 5 of Desperate Housewives will follow immediately after season 4 has finished, putting us behind the US by about 4 weeks.
    • Futurama season 5 refers to the broken up segments of the released movies.
    • Season 3 of Heroes will air on BBC Two towards the end of September, about a week after the US broadcast. Look out for a BBC Three special on Friday 26th, with sneak peeks of the new season

    Thanks

    • Thanks to Keri (heroesfan07) for the heads up about Terminator: TSCC, ANTP, The Hills, Grey's Anatomy Lipstick Jungle and Life!
    • Thanks to Ashs91 for details about The Simpsons!

    I'm going to try to keep this thread going and I'll update as soon as I get some new info!

    June? Season 2 of Greek has already started in America (I think). That's just rude.

    Pushing Daisies is probably the only one I'll be trying of all those.

    Out of that list DSM and Pushing Daisies are the best, but generally a lot of good TV

    IMO I think Chuck'll be the best out of the lot.

    Chuck is good but a little limited in its plot development I think.

    Well I was a big fan of Jake 2.0 back in 2003 (the first real primetime drama I watched) and this sounds very similar. My current favourite drama series, however, is Jericho: the various plot lines are amazing.

    Probably try all of them except Gossip Girl and Greek! I suspect that all will probably fall to the wayside through being cancelled or me just losing interest!

    Damages is my new favourite drama (after Jericho of course!). I absolutely loved it! Unfortunatly, season 2 doesn't air in the US until January 2009 so it won't air until about Summer '09! A veeeeeeeeeeeeery long wait...

    I guess it's just me but I found Damages to be incredibly boring. It was slow, not really any action to speak of, and it had a plot that most other shows could do well in one episode, not stretched out over a whole season. Don't get me wrong, I watched it but didn't really enjoy it...

    I'm intrigued by Greek, Chuck is getting better and better starting with episode 3, Pushing Daisies I really like and was glad they were able to keep the tone and momentum after the pilot and although nothing special at the moment I'm enjoying Dirty Sexy Money. The only ones I don't think I'll ever try are Kyle XY and Gossip Girl. Terminator for me has been the biggest surprise this year as a new series because I expected it to be pretty bad yet it was really good.

    I think CHUCK has been great so far, I cant wait to see more, I like it being on Virgin 1 because If I miss a episode I have like 5 other chances to catch it
