There are premieres of Cold Case and Without a Trace sitting on my TiVo hard drive, but I have not gotten desperate enough to watch them yet.
My verdict is watch CSI: NY if you like horror, Lost if you like fantasy, and maybe avoid the rest. (I’ll probably end up watching the other CSIs anyway. Jenn likes them, so they’re always recorded.)
