Heroes is Sept. 25th. Lost is Oct. 4th. The Office is Sept. 21st. Battlestar is Oct. 6th. I think Ron D. Moore said that Caprica was still in development. so I imagine we won't be seeing it for several months at least. I would go here for the listings of all the show premieres: http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=24318 It lists everything alphabetically and also by date. The Wire starts Sept. 10th.

Life on Mars - an interesting show on BBC America about a 2006 cop who gets hit by a car and wakes up inexplicably in 1970's Britain. Brotherhood - Matt and Pier's recommendation, kind of "The Wire" or "Sopranos" lite on showtime, about two brothers, one a politician, the other a gangster, set in Providence, Rhode Island. Question - where do I go to find out when the fall shows start? I'm thinking of: The Wire, Heroes, Lost, The Office and Battlestar (and I guess the Battlestar spinoff, Caprica) A few things I’ve been watching until my stories, as I like to call them, come back on the air:

We all have our vices. I give the argument to Pier, considering he had the balls to offer up the fact that he watched 90210.

Matthew Perry at least has the attractive quality of being humorous in his favor. Advantage: Perry. Also, how is it not apt to compare Mischa to Dylan?!?! They are quite similar.

That's some madman shit. And I'm not even responding to that Luke Perry comparison.

The football scenes weren't even written, they were just sort of outlined on the page. It might have been a really early draft but that's what the agencies were sending out. It was an ugly read, but I dug the hell out of it. I like Matthew Perry and his bloated face. What I do not like is the ugly mug of Amanda Peet trying to play way above her abilities. 90210 went on in spite of Luke Perry's absence, the OC can do the same. She was annoying anyways and her character sucked. Killing her was the right move. FNL - I’m not saying I didn’t like it, it was just so poorly written.

The draft I read was a total pleasure from beginning to end. And the teaser looked like a beauty. We'll see, eh? I'm dying to see Kidnapped! Jeremy Sisto is one of my faves. For some reason I feel like I'm going to be disappointed by Studio 60. Every time I see Matthew Perry's bloated face on the screen it just seems... wrong. Is the O.C. even the O.C. without Mischa Barton? C'mon, Pier. Damn, you and I must have read two completely different drafts of the Friday Night Lights pilot.
