I watched the season finale of Grey’s last May and lots of people gushed over it… but I still didn’t like it. No offense to anyone who does like it; it just doesn’t do it for me anymore. My problem with the show has always been that each character’s flaws feel so major that I just don’t like any of them. No need to feel sorry for me. I’m happy about my decision!

The early word on the street is that Betty has a strong first few episodes so I’m holding out for a sophomore slump recovery.

I am curious to where ABC will drop Scrubs. It won’t be able to compete against its old night because LOST will replace Life on Mars midseason.

I agree, you’re missing out! Season 3 of Grey’s did suck, but I think last season it got back on track and based on the previews, that should continue this season. I’m looking forward to tonight’s premiere.

Not the Thursday night I was expecting, only one show has caught my eye and that’s because I am a huge fan, namely Survivor, maybe I will check out Ugly Betty or Grey’s A…

Wow, BWS, I am on almost the same page as you are. While I don’t watch the comedies you mentioned (or any comedies, other than Scrubs which doesn’t return for a while), I have also dumped Grey’s Anatomy after last season and will give Ugly Betty one chance to redeem itself.

If Betty chooses either Henry or Gio, I will probably be done with that show. If she chooses to be single for a while, then I might actually watch a few more episodes.

So, for me, Thursdays are actually pretty light. Just Survivor and Betty, and soon, perhaps, only Survivor.

I thought I was watching more tv than I was on Thursdays.. but now that I ditched Grey’s (after season 3) and Earl, Thursdays aren’t as crowded. I still watch Betty (but on notice), Office and 30 Rock.

I really wish DirecTV would figure out a way to get a triple or quad tuner. With AT&T U-verse gaining ground all over the place with their 2HD/2SD total home DVR, that’s some feature competition. But the directv HD quality is hard to beat.

Andres — Good point, I should probably mention that I am going to PVR SURVIVOR tonight just because of the HD factor.

Thursday isn’t as crowded for me as it used to be. Now a single DVR can pretty much handle what I want to watch, with ABC’s and NBC’s line-ups. I’d also be interested in watching Survivor in HD, but oh well.
