It has been two months since the TV season began. About a month in, I ranked them based on my anticipation levels. So how are they holding up now?

1. Fringe: Best show right now, hands down. Well, until LOST returns.

2. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Consistently good week in, week out.

3. The Mentalist: This sizzling new entry is burning up the charts. This show is about Patrick Jane, an investigator with extraordinary powers of observation and suggestion. This show is a lot of fun!

4. 30 Rock: I just hope they don’t get lost with all the star power they’re pumping into the show. I’m cautiously optimistic about that.

5. Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Still solid fun every week. Makes me crave for a New Jedi Order series though.

6. How I Met Your Mother: With Ted all single again, the show is back where it’s supposed to be.

7. The Big Bang Theory: Consistently great and funny every week.

8. Survivor: Gabon: It always gets interesting when they merge. But somehow, I’m not so hot for partisan squabbling. The elections just finished.

9. LOST: The wait now feels like forever.

10. Heroes: How the mighty have fallen. This show has to be fixed.

11. Smallville: The current season seems to be going somewhere. I suspect that the Doomsday reveal next episode will shoot this series back into the top ten.

Not included in the list are The Daily Show, The Colbert Report and Real Time with Bill Maher. These shows are in a different category all together, and they’re all pretty good.
