Can I just say that I love Fringe? Walter is awesome, Peter is delightfully sarcastic <3 and Olivia wears sensible clothes. It's reminiscent of X-Files in all the good ways and so far, not the bad ones. ;D (Also, Astrid is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. I think I have a girlcrush on her. )
The Chuck season finale rocked, and I'm not just talking about Jeffster (though I still have Mr. Roboto running through my head two days later...). I really hope they get a third season pickup because they deserve it.
The Heroes season finale was ... surprising. It'll definitely be interesting to see how that plays out.
Also still watching House, NCIS (the first spinoff pilot ep was interesting), Criminal Minds, and the Mentalist. Of those, CM is clearly the standout but the other two are still fun. I've pretty much given up on Dollhouse after falling asleep during it two weeks in a row. I will miss Sarah Connor Chronicles. It's a shame a good percentage of last season was so-so, because their last few eps really rocked.
And there's Murdoch Mysteries, a Canadian Victorian-era detective show I enjoy a great deal. Their latest ep featured Dylan Neal (late of Blood Ties) as a Mountie. Now, Dylan Neal has always reminded me a great deal of Paul Gross, so with him in red serge, I was having severe due South AU flashes!

Tangentially related, I just saw this news blurb on the IMDB News RSS feed: Top-Ten Pirated TV Shows: The most-downloaded shows on BitTorrent sites have little in common with the most-viewed shows on television, according to a list compiled by the website TorrentFreak. Indeed, most of the top-ten downloaded shows, which also include those airing on cable, don't even appear in Nielsen's top ten. (The only one that does is ABC's Desperate Housewives) They are: 1. Heroes, 2. Prison Break, 3. 24 , 4. Desperate Housewives, 5. Family Guy, 6. Smallville, 7. South Park, 8. Gossip Girl, 9. Fringe, and 10. Supernatural.
Notice how many of those are "fannish" shows?
