TV in 2006

While "Veronica Mars" continues to be the only show I watch all summer here in Oz [besides wall to wall cricket and tennis] there are a few offerings to look forward to in 2006!!

Saw this one previewed on "the Tonight Show":
"My Name is Earl"
Looks like it will appeal to my draw and willing to be escapingly entertained sense of humour. Earl Hickey is a petty thief who wins and loses $100,000 and sees it as proof of karma. So he sets out to right every wrong he's ever committed. Latest of the earthy middle to working class America series...

"Commander in Chief" with Geena Davis is already in full promo mode.
Described as more relationships than politics it means her job is the end of comparisons with West Wing [which will please many by moving to ABC TV]

No doubt "Desperate Housewives" will continue to shine in 2006!!
It's still kind of 'Six Feet Under' meets 'Ally McBeal' and so is an acquired taste

"The OC"
There's not much else to rival this teen market winner!!
Though the cast seem to appear more in the gossip pages than in the TV Guide these days!!
