Another Point of Singularity

Due to the advent of DVR/TIVO, I actually do manage to catch a TV show from time to time, usually late at night.  These are the shows that look even remotely interesting to me at this stage.

(NBC) Heroes: A plague(?) causes an outbreak of a condition that simulates  superpowers.  The hype, advertising and pilot are all very cheesey-- the characterization looks lame and the dialogue needs improvement. The premise is very interesting, however, and I will give it a shot. 

(CBS) Jericho: An unspecified event, some kind of nuclear explosion perhaps, isolates the citizens of a small town in Kansas.. literally isolates.. as in a giant bubble or something.  Is the town now in a statis bubble or something?  Great premise.  Really hokey teasers and trailers.

(SciFi) Battlestar Galactica: The best dramatic show on television returns this October!  The SCI FI network is broadcasting short "webisodes" to get the audience (who has been patiently waiting for about 8 months now) back into the flow of things with tihis critically acclaimed show.  SF took a huge risk in having such a huge air gap between seasons; from what I've seen it will be worth it.

Psych: a man who was intensely trained from birth to take advantage of his photographic memory starts solving crimes for the police as an act of altruism.  The police find his uncanny ability to solve crimes just a tad too suspicious.  So he decides to pretend he is a "psychic detective" instead, and now the cops think he is a genius.  Haven't seen it yet, don't know much more than this, but I love that premise.
