What a night! 24 begins its 7th season, taking on the Golden Globe Awards (it's 66th). And if that's not enough, ABC and CBS are all new!

Flashpoint returns tonight! This show was my favorite this past summer. (Yes it's a 'cop' show, but not really a procedural; it follows a group of hostage negotiators/cops -but much better than FOX's Standoff of a couple years ago- called the Strategic Response Unit. I like to think of it as a workplace drama, much like ER was years ago before that show became a caricature of itself.) And isn't Hugh Dillon amazing in this show?

Wasn't Craig Ferguson absolutely fabulous on Password? I mean, who could imagine a Scotsman being that brilliant while sober? (I would make an "assuming he was sober" comment, but wont.)

If Betty White is the Queen of Password, Craig is its King. Nothing against Barney Neil Patrick Harris, but Craig rules. (I guess Neil and Craig could fight over Password Court Jester.)

The second half of the fourth season of Battlestar Galactica is set to air January 16 at 10pm on SciFi.

Brooke Burke won the silly trophy. My man Lance came in third.

It has apparently happened.

ABC has effectively canceled Pushing Daisies. And Dirty Sexy Money. And Eli Stone.

But the good news is that The Bachelor is coming back soon! (There was enough sarcasm there to drown a fish.)

So now the only ABC shows I will watch with any regularity are Brothers & Sisters and Lost (when it returns in January.)

Good job, ABC, on canceling Daisies without trying different timeslots.

It seems that ABC may officially cancel Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money, and Life on Mars and replace it with even worse crap shows.

(I actually life Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money, so I'm not a fan of this.)
