Appointment TV

In this age of Tivo and dozens of cable channels there are very few shows that I actually need to watch at their regularly scheduled time. It's not always the best shows that fall into this group, but rather they're the shows that build suspense from one week to another.

• Top Chef/Project Runway
  I have to see who gets kicked out and why on these two stand-out reality shows. Project Runway is the show that I look forward to the most.
• Battlestar Galactica
  There's a lot happening in this fourth and final season of BSG and I'm on the edge of my seat.
• The Soup
  Before season four of BSG started, The Soup was something I really looked forward to watching at 10 on Friday nights. And Joel McHale? Best Soup host evah!
• The Office
  The suspense over the Jim/Pam storyline made this show must-watch from the beginning. Although now the Dwight-Angela-Andy triangle is more compelling.
