Fall 2010 TV Review

It's the end of the year and I have thinking about this year in TV.
I did a little research and here is a list of notable fall network and cable shows:

Things I took from this list:
Show I'm still watching:  Nikita, didn't like it at first, but it has really grown on me after a bit.  I still think they need to make the show more fun, and less serious.  However, it is keeping up a pretty good quality for a CW show.

Most Disappointing Show That I Watched:  The Walking Dead, it started so bright at first with a great series premiere, however subsequent episodes did not live up to the promise of the premiere.

Most Surprising Pick-Up:  Outsourced, after the terrible reviews that the show received initially, I thought it would flop but surprisingly it has kept going on.

Show I'm sad I missed:  Terriers, I heard tons of good reviews and I wanted to check it out, however, I missed the first episode and then the second, and then I fell behind until I didn't bother watching.

Show I'll Miss the Most:  Rubicon, just when it started to get good it was shot down.  I suppose it was it was the show's on fault for being so slow at the beginning.
