The fall TV season really starts today with three (non-reality) premiers. And only one of which is of any interest to me.

My Pick: Gossip Girl (8pm, CW)

First is Prison Break - back, yet again. The boys are sent to break into the Company this time. This show is really hit-or-miss for me, and I'll be missing this one. (Fox, 8pm two hour premier.)

Then we have One Tree Hill (CW, 9pm.) I'm hearing something about Vegas and a phone call, but as I've never seen this show, I'll withhold comments.

It's January and the holiday TV repeats are over... mostly. The writer's strike is still on, and that means many of the shows that began in the fall wont be back on for a while, save a few new episodes here and there. (Except for soap operas and animated shows.)

The networks were smart these past few months. They knew the writer's strike was looming so the networks saved some of their series for the winter. And they also didn't cancel many of the shows that normally would have been canceled early on (like Moonlight or Journeyman.) Of course, with the new shows debuting over the next few weeks, we also get new reality shows, such as that Dance Wars thing and Celebrity Apprentice. I guess we have to take the good with the bad.

So this winter, these shows are what I'm looking forward to...

I'm torn about Dancing With The Stars. On one hand, Marie has got to go. Especially after Oprah pimped her on Friday. But on the other hand, she did have a good performance last Monday. But was it good enough? And I'll admit I was worried for my girl Jennie, seeing her in the bottom two last week. But I'm starting to have this feeling that, no matter how great Derek's choreography is, that Jennie really needs to take her dancing to a whole new level to stay in the game.
