Did anyone watch Backstrom? Looks a bit too familiar, but I'm of the opinion that everyone needs a procedural in their life, and I've been meaning to replace Bones for some time.

i liked bones for awhile. i thought the two leads had good chemistry...the deschanel and the...david something...and there was some forensic gal that i thought was super good looking but after about 2 or 3 seasons all the episodes seemed the same so i stopped. kinda like a hipper law and order.

When you're balls-deep in shows like Lost and Breaking Bad you need something light (which is why Hannibal might not work) that gratifies you every 40 minutes. I don't want to sound too apologetic, because I like the show, but it's often just background noise while cooking/surfing/getting things done anyway.

Yep. Body a week with an overarching plot about the Chesapeake Bay killer (Hannibal Lecter). Will Graham is a profiler, Hannibal Lecter is his psychiatrist and an FBI consultant.

I never watched too much of it, but I caught episodes here and there when my former ladyfriend would have it on all the time. It seemed like it started out decent enough, but towards the middle seasons (and i'm guessing the later seasons) I couldn't even sit through an episode.

But yeah, I feel ya on the mindless tv.
