As per usual, I've given a chance to a new show or two, all while welcoming back old favorites. I also get to lament the loss of Lost, knowing that it was far better ending as it did than continuing on indefinitely; and I'll do without 24, which suffered terribly as a result of trying to hang on indefinitely.
