I tried to record the premiere of life as we know it (all lower case, like thirtysomething) on ABC last night, but not only did it end up not being broadcast in HD (this happens too often; does ABC just not understand the whole "broadcast in high definition" thing?), but there was no sound.  So, no idea if it was any good or not.

 

And with the third episode, Lost has become my favorite new series this year.  They quickly answer the question, "Just how can you tell a story about people stranded on an island and keep it interesting and varied week after week."  And it's doing well in the ratings.  Now I'm just hoping for the failure of The Mountain, so WB can run Global Frequency (please, please, please) in that slot, and that'll be a nice Wednesday night block for me.
