Thanks to the beauty of TVIV’s Fall 2006 (USA) grid [and to Mark for pointing it out to me], I have my TiVos queued up for my fall TV viewing:

• Monday: How I Met Your Mother [my favorite new half-hour show from last season]
• Tuesday: Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars [my favorite new hour-long show from last season], and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Also, I will finish watching this season of EUR^eKA, which ends Oct. 3, after Stephen hooked me on it during the Blogathon.
• Wednedsay: Nothing. Fine by me, as Wednesday nights are men’s ensemble and chancel choir practice at church, and that tends to run about three hours. I go straight from work, get out of there around 2100 or so, and am usually just dog tired. I will probably watch something from the night before [likely SVU] then.
• Thursday: My Name Is Earl [which I expect to have a sophomore slump] and Six Degrees, because I always try one new show every season for no real reason. [Read: this thing will either suck dead bunnies through a bent straw or fail to find an audience and be gone before 2007 dawns.]
• Friday: Law & Order and NUMB3RS are my only dueling-TiVos conflict resolution clash of the season, but I’m okay with that. I’m curious to see what will come of both shows: L&O seemed to struggle a whole lot last year, but they’re bringing the talented [and HOT] Milena Govich in as the junior detective under Jesse L. Martin’s Ed Green, which should be interested; and NUMB3RS needs to decide if they’re going to accept themselves as a mostly-episodic procedural for math nerds or try to become something more. As much as I like Dr. Joel Fleisch—er, Rob Morrow—I think that the rest of the cast is fairly blah. Peter MacNicol’s Dr. Larry Fleinhardt is very good, and there are times when I wish that Heuton and Falacci didn’t make this be about brothers and family so Fleinhardt could be Morrow’s foil. [Seriously, Rob Morrow plays the straight guy very, very well. Having David Krumholtz play another very straight guy ... whoa, too much seriousness.] Also, can we either write Navi Rawat’s Dr. Amita Ramanujan better or find a better actress to fill the geeky-love-interest-for-Charlie role? I haven’t decided if it’s the actress or the writing yet, but after more screen time last year, I’m thinking the former…
• Saturday: Nothing.
• Sunday: My beloved The Amazing Race. TAR, how I have longed for you all summer long.

What are you watching?
