    This came back on last week - after like 9 months off because of the strike. It ended with a fucking awesome episode. A real roller coaster ride.

    I was busy on Monday and Tuesday, so I'll admit the premiere is still sitting on my machine, unwatched, but I will catch up with it tomorrow.

    But I was wondering, anybody else watch this show?

    I don't really watch much TV, but I happened to catch it on Wednesday night. I liked it quite a lot. Kinda reminded me of Monk, only less quirky.

    I saw the movie "Life" starring Eddy Murphy and Martin Lawrence.

    The premier of Life was on Monday night, after Heroes.

    Its regular time slot is Friday at 10/9 central,
    so there is another episode on tonight.

    Life is a very good show,
    but it will be going up against NUMB3RS.

    For five years, NUMB3RS has crushed everything that
    NBC has put in this time slot.

    With so many poor performers in the NBC line-up,
    hopefully they can find a better spot for Life.

    Loved the first season of Life. I've got the first two on tape, and will be watching with great interest.

    Life gets another run-out tonight at 10/9 central, on NBC, after Heroes.

    Then this time-slot will go over to, the soon-to-be DOA, My Own Worst Enemy.

    I like Life. I liked it last year too. I thought it would have lost its interest after being off air so long, but I'm in to it again. The bad news... moving to Fridays at 10? That's Sanctuary time. I don't have Tivo so we'll have to see who wins the ParaRatings war.

    Probably my favourite show right now. Love the Terminator series and Chuck is a lot of fun too (not to speak of Entourage) but none of them quite reach Life.

    I was skeptical and hopeful at the same time when it first started out - it had the potential to be either totally awesome or entirely preposterous. Was on the fence for a few eps but then got totally hooked. Now I just love it. :techman:

    Though it does seem to make the point that it's easier to be a buddhist when you have $50 million. :)

    I hated this show. I thought it was filler to make people wait for Heroes. But the Hispanic chick is pretty damn hot. She looks like a Hispanic porn star.

    Life came on after Heroes.

    There is no Hispanic chick.

    She's 1/2 Spanish, and 1/2 Iranian. Did a stint on the "The L-Word".

    In my neck of the woods, they put Life on before Heroes. I think they do this to try suckering viewers into watching it while waiting for Heroes.

    There is a Hispanic chick.

    Outstanding episode of Life last night.
    This show is rockin' now.
    Much better than Life on Mars.
    Much better than Heroes.

    Yeah, it's smart and clever - which actually is not always the same thing. And I've dug Damien Lewis since Band of Brothers.

    It's the best thing I'm currently watching on a consistent basis. There may be other great shows out there, but I've only got so much time these days - this is the one I don't want to miss.

    The last one about a murder in a college prison sociology experiment was very clever - especially as how it pertained to the main character's time in prison.

    Adam Arkin seems a bit underutilized, but other than that I've got no complaints.

    NBC is the first network to shake up its fall schedule.

    Beginning on Nov. 5, Life moves to Wednesday, at 9/8 central.
    It will be followed by Law and Order, which returns for its 19th season.

    So, Life will go up against Criminal Minds,
    and Law and Order will face CSI: New York.

    Knight Rider will continue to lead off Wednesday for NBC.

    Failed drama, Lipstick Jungle, moves to Friday, at 10/9 central.
