In BuddyTV's 2007 Fall TV Guide, we reviewed all the returning shows to tell you what’s worth watching according to three of our writers, Oscar Dahl, Debbie Chang and John Kubicek.
10. Heroes
Heroes is a show whose pilot I wasn't all that enamored with and therefore never got into. Everything I've read and heard tells me that I got the wrong first impression. I'm going to simultaneously watch the season 1 DVDs and give season two a chance. We'll see what happens.
Your Take

Heroes is Ok though it ended tamely last season.
Survivor was good till Johnny Fairplay.
I am shocked...

This US version of the show will never top the original UK format - where it was classic British humour at ...
9. Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy's third season was a relative disappointment. The second half of the season was more depressing and dark than anything, and even Shonda Rhimes knows it. Look for a lighter, brighter fourth season. When
Grey's is at its best, it's the best chick show for guys on television.
8. Scrubs
The final season of the most underrated show of the 2000s is coming in with little hype and a limited episode order.
Zach Braff is making a redonkulous amount of money for this last season, and I only hope it can improve on its lukewarm sixth season.
John C. McGinley continues to get snubbed by Mr. Emmy.
7. (tie) Family Guy/The Simpsons
The FOX Sunday animation comedy block still has its fans, and I'm one of them.
Family Guy's last couple of seasons have been inconsistent, but that's how a show as random as
Family Guy is going to be. At its best, the show is the funniest thing on TV. At its worst, it is embarrassingly unfunny.
The Simpsons, while not as good as its glory days, is still
The Simpsons.
5. 30 Rock
Tina Fey,
Alec Baldwin, and
Tracy Morgan. All three are funny in such vastly different ways.
30 Rock found its footing midway through its first year and should only get better as the seasons continue.
4. Friday Night Lights
By all accounts, the best new show of last year. It's been thrown to the Friday night wolves this season and despite the universally great reviews, the show will be lucky to make it through the season.
3. How I Met Your Mother
I love this show.
Neil Patrick Harris steals every moment he's on screen. CBS almost canceled
How I Met Your Mother this summer, and ratings have become an issue. So, enjoy it while it lasts: there's a very real possibility that this is the show's final season.
2. Survivor: China
At this point, you're either a
Survivor fan or you're not. For super fans like me, every season is a joy, but with Probst and crew heading to China, we could be in for a special season.
1. The Office
There's no show I'm more excited to watch during the week than
The Office. Not only is it the funniest series on television, it may just be the all-around best.
