Haven't seen Veronica Mars. Do watch the others, but only Lost and Alias do I watch every episode of. Those two and 24 are the only must-see TV for me. Everything else is if I catch it on or if I care to download an episode.
Other good shows that I'll either download to watch because I can't sync to their running schedules:
Huff, Dead Like Me, Boston Legal
I think this year's Alias is the weakest by far, inclusive of last year's. The new Black-Ops thing is a joke, their new HQ is totally inconceivable, it's too much like a high-school clique, they're losing any type of story-arch and they're basically falling into the same downward slope that ruined the X-FIles. On the surface I like the episodes, but when I compare to previous seasons they fall apart.
Now I have to go out to dinner b/c my GF is hounding me... Which means we'll also miss 24 so it'll be a download later tonight for that.
