Isabelle, Survivor has only been on one decade not two. There are two seasons per year since 2000.
And the decade does indeed end next December 31, at the end of 2010.
I remember when Tom Baker regenerated into Peter Davidson. I was so into Baker that I abandoned Dr. Who altogether for a while. Luckily, I did manage to catch Davidson and developed a liking for his Doctor right before Colin Baker took over, then I dropped out again! I didn't find Who again until Sylvester McCoy regenerated into Paul McGann in the American Who movie. What a ride! I'll be a bit more patient with Smith.
No collection is complete without the inclusion of M*A*S*H.
This quality of this show has always been high, and I feel like it is still a very new thing for most viewers who have just come on in the last year. There is a very vocal group who have supported the show right here on TV Squad since the early days of the series and I have to take the opportunity to thank TV Squad for finally covering this show on a regular basis. NCIS hasn't just gotten good in the last year or so...it's been this good from the start.
Wow...I'm shellshocked! TV Squad actually posted a story about NCIS. This has been the best show on TV for the last few years and has just about been completely ignored here. The season premiere was a total gift to the fans as it highlighted almost exclusively what we like best about the show...the characters. Next week we can get back to the case of the week format, but this week, it's all about "The Family." When Abby held Ziva at the end, we all did. I love this show!
I don't see it as a "lite" version of Top Chef so much as just a different version. The dorm room cook off was an instant classic! Keller was so impressive and I look forward to seeing him later in the series. There's a lot off confidence in this kitchen (as opposed to regular Top Chef) but not the arrogance I expected. These guys are pros and they act like it.
The show was underwhelming and I will not miss the remainder of the series.

Correction: Marco Pierre White did not host ITV's Hell's Kitchen before Ramsay. Ramsay hosted the UKs first season and MPW took over in the second and subsequent seasons.
Although I have enjoyed this show all season, I never really felt like it was a well written show. Simon Pegg has brilliantly raised this show from mediocrity. But this weeks episode was just plain great! Here's hoping that the series setup is over and really good stories continue from here.

Oh...and more Cho!!!
Good show overall. It borrows just the right things from other restaurant shows. I have a feeling that White will explode sooner than later and we will see the wrath that made Ramsay cry. I usually prefer filmed reality shows but this one could benefit from switching to tape. The contestants seem to be good personalities that can make the show interesting as the weeks progress. The fact that there is an elimination each week and that there are only two restaurants operating makes this a faster viewing than Last Restaurant Standing. I can't decide whether that will be a good thing in the long run.

Trivia note: Just like Ramsay trained under White, White trained under Raymond Blanc, host of Last Restaurant Standing!
Yeah, this game has been out for a long time now. The trick to this game is realizing that it has less to do with cooking and that it is more of a time management game. In that context it becomes slightly (and I mean slightly) more interesting. That being said, for some reason this game got a lot of play around here on the Wii for months.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
