Three up, two down.
Final verdict on our Fall 06' Freshmen class:
Heroes / The show keeps getting better, and I am loving the shameless homages, like Hiro and friend aping Rain Man. Tonally varied, but still manages to hang together.
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip / Ever met one of those people that always talks about how hilarious they are, yet never makes you crack a smile? Show, don't tell.
30 Rock / Quirky, funny, and never takes itself seriously -- the antithesis of Studio 60 self-righteousness. Alec Baldwin is a comedic god.
The Nine / All things considered, the pilot was pretty good, but it failed to answer the single most pressing question: why should I care?
Dexter / Michael C. Hall is the greatest television actor, well, ever. (Although truth be told, the show is a bit gory for my tastes!)

I watch The Nine for the first time last night. I thought it was actually okay. I think it's just going for a very different audience. (I.e. it's not for our demographic.)
If you watch it as being a Lost for our parents generation it makes more sense.
i've watched all three nine episodes, although the last two have been half-assed viewings, i think it's okay. if it wasn't on right after lost i probably wouldn't bother, but to me it's fine to have on while i'm doing dishes or whatever. last night's episode was pretty good.
you are probably on to something there mark, but honestly, the events that happened in the bank are just not interesting enough to hold my attention for a season, let alone seasons.
