I also am watching The Daily Show more; it makes me laugh. I started Heroes last year, then dropped out because it annoyed me. But G. Grod kept watching, and when he swore it got better I picked it up again, and was glad to have done so. I thought it took a while to get its stride. I did the same thing with House, and maybe with Bones. Bones is uneven, IMO, so not a must see. What works best is the banter among the characters. The mysteries (to me) are less interesting. And I really don't like the lead character's backstory episodes with her parents and brother, though others really do.

Very glad to hear you're watching heroes, you haven't mentioned it before and now that it's started in the UK I couldn't understand why it wouldn't be your thing. We don't have most of the shows you mention, but I will keep an eye open. Except Bones. Watched one episode, H couldn't stand it so I gave up. Should i be persevering?
