Before I forget, I need to send out happy birthday wishes to em_meredith and to ja_is_my_muse. Hope both of ya'll are having a great day!

I was out of town this weekend, so I'm a bit behind on my TV watching. I did manage to watch Moonlight before we left. Well, I should say I tried to watch Moonlight before we left. Whoa, is that show bad. I'd read the script earlier in the year and wasn't overly impressed, but I thought maybe with the re-vamping (get it? heh) that they've been doing it might have gotten better. Um, no, they actually made it worse. And oh, Jason Dohring, what are you doing? The dude is awful. Really, reeeeeally, awful. I was so embarrassed for him I had to turn the TV off after 15 minutes.

Aliens in America, on the other hand, is delightful. It wasn't packed with lots of laughs, but I enjoyed the premise and the way they handled it enough that I didn't mind. Scott Patterson's only okay, but the two teenage leads are really endearing. Definitely keeping the season pass for this one.

So here's my updated ranking of the new shows--

Definitely worth watching:

Pushing Daisies
Chuck
Reaper
Life
Dirty Sexy Money
Aliens in America

Definitely NOT worth watching:

Cane
The Big Bang Theory
Big Shots
Moonlight

Hovering somewhere in between:

Bionic Woman
Journeyman
K-Ville
Gossip Girl
Private Practice
