If you’re lamenting the lack of new episodes for your favorite TV show, check out AOL Video blog’s suggestions for shows you should be watching. Just note that this article/ photo gallery is from Nov 5th, so the Hollywood writer’s strike might  might have affected these shows as well.

The really big one might be Back to You, starring Kelsey Grammar (Frasier, Cheers) and Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond). It’s not bad, but it’s so far it’s a far cry from the incredible writing of Frasier. There is a lot potential with these two great actors and supporting cast.

However, I think there’s far more potential with Big Bang Theory, starring Kaley Cuoco (8 Simple Rules) and mostly unknown male actors. The writing is funny, the characters quirky.

As for Pushing Daisies, it’s fantastic. I’m just wondering how long it can go. The writing is brilliant, the narration amusing, and the characters so very fascinating.
