My only two current "must see" TV shows are both on CBS; "NCIS" and "CSI:NY."

There are a couple of other CBS shows (the various other CSI's and Numb3rs) that I'll watch occasionally, but only if I have nothing better to do.

As far as the new shows go, I'll pretty much echo what some of the rest of you have said:

The Mentalist could be ok, but is a pretty blatant ripoff of "Psych" so I'm not going to knock myself out to watch it.

Eleventh Hour. Sounds pretty interesting. I'll probably give it a try.

As far as SMH's comment about everybody being single: did anybody read my comments about "The Mole" a couple of weeks ago? When they got down to five contestants, they let them have a friend or family member come visit. Three of the five contestants were married and chose (naturally) their wives as the family member they wanted to see. There was one unmarried man who chose his girlfriend and one unmarried woman who chose her mother (which I actually thought was kind of sweet).
On some of the other boards I visit there were comments about how "unusual" it was that three of the five contestants (all between the ages of 25 and 50) were married. But because it's a *reality* show, they were just reflecting actual life. At least 60 percent of people between the ages of 25 and 60 *are* married. . .but you'd never know that from scripted sitcoms and dramas where you'll maybe have one "token married person" in an ensemble drama featuring five or six characters between the ages of 25 and 60.
