I already did a quick runthrough of fall shows but Fox didn’t have their fall lineup online then, they do now. Nothing interesting, The O.C. as already started and is only mildly entertaining, mostly in a hee hee, look at the rich people kind of way. I did notice two shows though but not because they look like something I’m going to watch.

The other one looks even worse, Wonderfalls is a… hum, well the creators describe it themselves as “Touched by a Crazy Person”. Bleh again. The reason it drew my attention though is that it stars gorgeous Montréal native Caroline Dhavernas.
