Boardwalk Empire is the only new one I'm watching, and I do like it, though it took about 4 episodes to really hit a stride.
I gave No Ordinary Family a chance but it's not really for me. Not really hungry for this type of show right now.
Really looking forward to The Walking Dead in two weeks.

Which I find to be true for 90% of shows.
Very few shows are a LOST, Dexter or Sopranos to name some recent ones that hit the ground running and are in stride from the get go.
Heck, TNG didn't hit its stride till season 3, same for DS9. While I didn't watch it or care to I hate it for those that did want to try Lone Star. Two eps in and cancelled.
So far, there are only two new shows that I really like:
Rubicon --very intelligent, slow and methodical, daring you to pick up the subtle clues.
Blue Bloods---as TJ said earlier, I can't get enough of Tom Selleck. Liking it so far and I'm interested as to where it will go.

That's a great description of the show. I've saved up the last five episodes and I'm going to watch them, along with this weekend's finale, as soon as I finish the second season of In Treatment. It'll be fun to marathon it.
On Halloween of course.
Love: The Event, Hawaii 5-0, Detroit 1-8-7 and Terriers.
Like: Nikita, No Ordinary Family, Undercovers
Dropped: Hellcats...hottie young actresses dressed as cheerleaders isn't enough to sit through a show every week.
I forgot about this one. I'm watching this too.
I'm going to Netflix In Treatment. I have the first season arriving soon.
Rubicon, in the running for best drama as far as I'm concerned. Don't expect a second season, but it should get Emmy awards, for writing and Michael Christofer's role as Truxton Spangler.
No Ordinary Family, a charming comedy.
The Whole Truth, which deconstructs prosecutor shows with the defense segment while deconstructing defense shows with the prosecutor segments. For instance, the scenes in the episode about the "bikini" dancer (how blue nosed we're getting as the country goes Right down the drain!) where prosecutor Maura Tierney gets exculpatory evidence for her victim and blithely ignores it is a welcome lucid moment for the lawyer show genre. It will likely be cancelled next week, but it's still good. It's just too nongeneric, which naturally means the reviewers have to dismiss it as generic!

I actually think The Whole Truth has a very good premise and I almost fully enjoyed the first episode. The two problems were that the characters were annoying and not very likeable, and it kind of irritated me having to wait until the end of the show to find out what really happened. I would almost rather they show us what happened first and then show the trial.
I have been Tivoing The Event, but have not watched any of it yet. I'm waiting to see what people think after several episodes before I devote any time to it.
That is the only new show I'm planning on watching. "Old" shows I'm still watching or have taken back up in light of the dearth of good new stuff are: Bones, Castle, NCIS (all of which are carry-overs from last season), NCIS: LA, and L&O: SVU (both of which were off the schedule in the past but have returned since they are better than any of the new stuff). I am also planning to catch up on The Vampire Diaries, which I did not watch last year but am going to give a try now.

I've only seen
Hawaii 5.0
Blue Bloods
and
Mike & Molly not hold out hope for that one.

This just makes me feel that much more secure about not having cable.
The only shows I'd be watching would be Fringe, Supernatural, maybe SGU and Caprica.

The Gates is cancelled, sorry.

I missed the 1st few episodes of The Whole Truth. I didn't know when it was on and it turned out to be competing against Law & Order: Los Angeles. However, I'll give it a shot tonight. When done well, I love law shows. I also love that gimmick of showing an objective view of what really happened at the end of the episode. They used to do that on The Jury & Justice and I miss those shows a lot.
I haven't been particularly impressed with Law & Order: Los Angeles. Skeet Ulrich is boring as hell. But the bald guy is kinda cool. Here's hoping they keep the bald guy and replace Ulrich with Benjamin Bratt. (When we last saw Reynaldo Curtis on the original Law & Order, we found out that he's been living in L.A. for a while.) I'm still iffy on the prosecutors. Howard & Molina are both good actors but they just don't have the same passion that Jack McCoy & Michael Cutter had on the original series.
While I like William Shatner, I've been unimpressed with Shit My Dad Says.
