  1. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip: Season 1
    Last fall, "Studio 60" would have easily been the best new drama; this fall, it's lucky to squeeze into the top five, and a lot of that is based on potential more than what's on screen.
  2. Extras: Season 2
    "Extras" finally achieves the greatness expected of the Gervais/Merchant team with Season Two.
  3. Men in Trees: Season 1
    Basically, [the lead character is] a collection of every stereotypical romantic comedy and chick-lit trait, made especially annoying by Heche.
  4. Til Death: Season 1
    It's not a great sitcom, not even really a good one, and the strain of trying to sell such mediocre material will no doubt get to Garrett in a few weeks, but it's still vastly better than its companion show.
  5. Happy Hour: Season 1
    Larry, Henry and virtually every person to walk through "Happy Hour" are broad, obnoxious, lame caricatures, even by the standards of Fox's laughtracked sitcoms.
  6. Standoff: Season 1
    There's potentially a good show here; the pilot's just a miss.
  7. Desire: Season 1
    "Desire" will make you ashamed -- of society at large, if not yourself --whether you like it (chances: minimal) or not (chances: off the charts).
  8. Fashion House (2006): Season 1
    [Of the two new soaps,] only "Fashion House" seems to understand that it's supposed to be a guilty pleasure.
  9. Justice (2006): Season 1
    Like all the Bruckheimer procedurals... you know what you're getting from the jump: solid but unspectacular acting and storytelling that will leave you satisfied without rocking your world.
  10. Vanished: Season 1
    "Vanished" is already lacking in the kind of star performances that make "Prison Break" or "24" worthwhile even when they're foot-dragging.
  11. A Raisin in the Sun
    Those three performances are so good that they lift up everyone around them, whether it's Combs (best whenever he has Rashad or McDonald to spar with) or John Stamos, surprisingly subtle in what could be a thankless role as the white man who doesn't want the Youngers moving into his neighborhood.
