Arrested Development: Better than Season 2 so far.
A
The Office: I appreciate that it's trying to be its own thing.
B-
Kitchen Confidential: Reasonably good. Supporting cast needs improvement except in the breastage department, in which they positively shine. Xander not cut out for sitcom format.
B+
Everybody Hates Chris: As long as you take it as more poignant and political than funny, you might enjoy it. To me, it's like Chappelle trying to do "Good Times."
C+
How I Met Your Mother: Meh. High concept, leading man is strong; everything else stinks. Willow not cut out for sitcom, but still adorable. NPH is wasted on this, and the other male supporting is atrocious.
C+
My Name Is Earl: "Raising Arizona" for the small screen. Jason Lee is better than he was in any shitty Kevin Smith film.
A- Strongly recommend.
Desperate Housewives: Wife's show. Seemed okay; they closed down last season's big mystery and teed up a new one with vague S&M overtones, which is nice. HD is not good to Teri Hatcher, BTW.
B+?
West Wing: Wife's show. She seems happy with it, but that's just because Leo McGarry gives her a femi-woody.
A-?
I'll add others if I can think of them. The basic cable season is over, but if you weren't watching "Rescue Me" (F/X) or "Teachers" (BBCA) or "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" (F/X), you missed out, sucka.
