What TV show(s) will you be watching this season? Why?

Survivor - I was an early Survivor nut but lost interest until I got married. My wife dragged me back in and I havent missed much since. This season the tribes are separated by race and so far, its been quite boring, lets hope it picks up and soon.
The Amazing Race - This one has been my favorite of the reality shows in recent memory, maybe all time. Its actually about the competition rather than who can backstab whom or who is more popular. A cant miss.
Lost - Its funny, as much as I enjoy this show, I wont be watching this season, at least not until the DVD hits, we are still in the midst of season 2, so dont tell me what happens!
Heroes - Its rare that I watch a new series but Im gonna check this one out and see what the buzz is about.
Ever since Ive been married ive watched less and less television. It started with our decision to not have cable for the first year and we never decided to go back. Its been three years now and I honestly only miss some of the sports I dont get to watch.
Of course now ESPN has picked up Monday Night Football and it was the first time in that three year block that I almost gave the cable guy a jingle. But I resisted. However, one of the things about fall that is somewhat of a tradition in my home in the new reality TV seasons.
Its true, ive been a reality TV nut in some ways for quite some time now. But only two shows have been sticky enough to turn to every season.
Survivor - One of the originals that has lost some of its luster in recent years is still a must see in my home. And the new season starts tonight with a twist of course. This season all the tribes will be segregated! Seriously, that sounds like a really bad PR stunt to me. Well, either it will be incredibly entertaining or it will be Mark Burnett grasping at straws in an attempt to revive the franchise.
The Amazing Race - This one has taken over priority from Survivor since its been such a great show recently. With the exception of the stateside family edition, which I didnt care for. Still, this one is more about the actual competition than about cat fighting relational crap like Survivor can turn into at times.
A couple seasons ago CBS had this show in the 10pm slot on Tuesdays. That was just ridiculous and made it more difficult for many to watch. Well, this season will be on Sunday night after 60 Minutes, a prime slot.
