It's going to be a busy week, for my PVR if not for me. I've already checked out new shows The Class (premiering Monday), Jericho (Wednesday), and Shark (Thursday), but won't be adding them to my record list. I'll catch Shark live when I can, but Thursdays are pretty crowded already. Here's what I'm watching or recording this week:
Tonight is Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip in Canada - hurray for CTV for airing it on Sundays instead of simulcast with the American feed on Mondays (because of a scheduling conflict for them, but I'll take it as a personal favour to me). I'll be watching live for sure.
Monday, I've got the PVR set for The Smart Woman Survival Guide (a Canadian show), though I haven't watched last week's episode yet, which isn't a good omen for it remaining in my recording schedule.
Tuesday ... you have to ask? House, of course. Its temporary 8 p.m. home isn't great news for me, because it means the Eastern time zone feed airs before I get home. Waiting sucks. I'm also not fond of Standoff, which took its timeslot, though I had high hopes for a romantic comedy/Moonlighting-type show. House is supposed to be back at 9 p.m. after the October baseball break ... which is also the timeslot for Intelligence (Canadian show) starting Oct. 10, which means in November when House is back, I'll be grateful for the FOX Eastern time zone feed again.
Wednesday, the PVR is recording Kidnapped, though that's one I won't kill myself to find time to watch if I don't happen to catch it live. It sounds like it's supposed to be good, but I have commitmentphobe issues with overly serialized shows, I'm not usually a big lover of crime shows (see Intelligence exception), and this list is already getting way too long.

And, of course, Degrassi: The Next Generation, whose new season 6 will be a first for the Degrassi Universe:
It will be the first season of a Degrassi show to ever premiere in the US (Sept. 29) before Canada (Sometime in October/November I think).

I wondered about that - that's strange! I keep hearing about its upcoming season, but couldn't find anything on its Canadian debut for my Canadian TV website. I guess that's because they don't have one set yet.
