Oh hush! LOL

I noticed about halfway through this past season ... that I wasn't really watching anything else on any of the other "big" networks LOL ...

And oddly enough ... ABC has a pretty good fall lineup ... but I will be getting a DVR within the next couple of weeks ... because there are a handful of NBC and CBS shows that I want to check out ...

Nice to see Avatar nominated for best animated series under an hour. Hopefully it wins... all the other nominees have been on TV for so long.
