Don't Call Me During...: Fall 2006 Edition

well, since Prison Break premiered last night, I guess now is as good a time as any to let you know when I am NOT going to be picking up the phone and you will lose points if you even attempt to call me (yes, even during commercials):

Sunday:
7:00 PM - 7:30 PM: Everybody Hates Chris (CW Hates Chris too. What a dreadful timeslot)
8:00 PM - 8:30 PM: The Simpsons (unless it is a Lisa or singing episode)
9:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Desperate Housewives*/Family Guy
10:00 PM - 11:00 PM: Brothers and Sisters/The Wire

Monday:
8:00 PM - 8:30 PM: How I Met Your Mother (I'm equally as excited about the return of Barney's blog)
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Prison Break (I'm happy they got William Fichtner from Invasion)
9:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Heroes (X-Men the TV shows. Please don't suck)/Runaway* (I don't know about this one but AICN said it was one of the 5 best new shows)
10:00 PM - 11:00 PM: Studio 60 on Sunset Strip (My favorite "Friend" Matthew Perry is back to stop the Friends curse before it begins)/What About Brian? (I heard they completely retooled this show...any change has to be an improvement)

Tuesday:
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Standoff* (I'll give anything starring Gina Torres** a quick look)/Friday Night Lights (I still haven't seen the movie but I'm still in for a show about high school football)
9:00 PM - 10:00 PM: House (After a number of recommendations, I am finally adding it to the roster but if Scrubs returns at this slot, House is House-d)/Veronica Mars (CW, don't cancel this show. Please.)
10:00 PM - 11:00 PM: Nip/Tuck (basically anything F/X airs at this time slot will be watched)/Smith* (Ray Liotta weekly? I'll give it a shot)

Wednesday:
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Bones
8:00 PM - 8:30 PM: 30 Rock (Don't screw this up like you screwed up SNL, Tina Fey)
9:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Lost (Was there any doubt?)
10:00 PM - 11:00 PM: The Nine (next to Heroes, this is the new show I am most excited about)/Kidnapped (if you put this cast in a movie, I might have considered seeing it)

Thursday:
8:00 PM - 8:30 PM: My Name Is Earl
8:30 PM - 9:00 PM: The Office (this is where it gets interesting as they have surpassed the episode count of the BBC version, not counting the two specials)
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Smallville (Still want to see how they solve "the problem")
9:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Grey's Anatomy/The O.C.* (I said if they ever got rid of Misha Barton, I'd start watching. Just keeping my word)
10:00 PM - 11:00 PM: Six Degrees (I'll give anything J.J. Abrams does a chance)

Friday
10:00 PM - 11:00 PM: Battlestar Galatica

Saturday:
Watching all the shows I missed on DVR and downloaded episodes of Weeds***

Yes, I know it goes without saying that I am committed to too much television. One day, someone is going to have to explain to me why this is such a bad thing.
