I hope it doesn't get cancelled now...it's actually really well written. I think the first episode I saw was just a bad intro.

I'm starting to get tired of the lack of answers on Lost. If they don't start answering at least as many questions as they ask in each episode, things are going to get old pretty soon. I like Studio 60 and am disappointed that it's likely to be canceled shortly. CSI is awesome. CSI:NY is getting better; the first season sucked, but once they lightened up a bit, it got better. CSI:Miami is like watching a continuous series of shark jumps. BSG rocks; I've not watched last week's episode (the second of the season, IIRC) yet but will later tonight. L&O:CI is good; as far as I can tell, Vincent D'Onofrio is still on it though. They're just alternating between two casts each week. I like the new captain, although I miss Jamey Sheridan, too. Numb3rs is my wife's favorite show, and high on my list as well. Heroes is good. I’m starting to get tired of the lack of answers on Lost.

It seems to be fairly different from the original TV series with all this jumping or whatever they call it every 26 hours or however long it is. And it seemed a bit too negative for my liking - counting the number of human beings, and the number forever declining with each "jump". Maybe it was just a crappy episode, I dunno. But based on that one I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it again (and haven't even watched that one a 2nd time, and I'm a major sci-fi weenie). As for whether or not it's the best sci-fi available today, I guess I don't really have anything to compare it to. Doesn't say much for the rest of the selection, though.
