Kim Hollis: Now that we're a couple of months into the fall season, my favorite new show (by far) is Modern Family. Everything about it works for me. Ed O'Neill is wonderful, and his character is a lot more layered than you might think on a cursory glance. I always tend to like Julie Bowen, and her Claire is no exception. Ty Burrell cracks me up on a regular basis (Why the face?), and Rico Rodriguez, who plays young Manny is a terrific child actor who really sells his lines. The show really does belong to Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, though. I think they're in the running for best couple on television, and it's not just because they're funny as hell. Their relationship is really sweet and I love that the writing hints at their history without giving everything away and hitting the viewer over the head.

Cougar Town is the other show I'm really enjoying, though I think it's possible I'd like it less if I wasn't close to Courteney Cox's age. I also love that Busy Phillips (of Freaks and Geeks) has such a choice role. The secret star of the show, though, is Brian Van Holt, who plays the main character's ex-husband. He just charms me.

As for the other new shows I'm still watching, I'm liking White Collar, but that's probably largely a function of Matt Bomer being so nice to look at. His interplay with Tim DeKay is great, but the plots are a touch simplistic so far. They might just be getting their footing, though. Flash Forward is decent, but awfully talky. I always have trouble staying awake through an episode. I'm watching V, but it's on a super short leash. If it doesn't get significantly better after the next episodes, I'm breaking up with it. As for Glee, it's super up and down, but the last two episodes have been good enough that I'm still sticking with it for now.

I quit watching both Eastwick and The Vampire Diaries after a single episode apiece. Eastwick felt like a Desperate Housewives clone, and I gave up on that show last year. I was hoping for better things from The Vampire Diaries, but it was effectively a Twilight copycat, and a poorly acted one at that (more poorly acted than Twilight? It doesn't seem possible, and yet...).

Along with Desperate Housewives, I also quit on shows like Ugly Betty and Gossip Girl. I would still maintain that Friday Night Lights is the best thing on TV, and don't see that changing any time soon.
