About two weeks ago, I asked readers to discuss which of the crop of new fall series they were still watching after sampling. I posted the question on the heels of the cancellation of FOX's Lone Star and ABC's My Generation, both of which were yanked from the airwaves after just two broadcasts.A few weeks later, CBS yesterday picked up all five (yes, five!) of its new fall offerings, giving $#*! My Dad Says, Hawaii Five-0, Mike & Molly, The Defenders, and Blue Bloods full seasons.
It's rare for a network to go five-for-five when it comes to their freshman shows, but it also points to just what a middling season of television this has turned out to be thus far. A season where even NBC is giving a vote of confidence to mediocre series like The Event, Chase, and Outsourced... and ordering more scripts for Undercovers.
So now that the dust has settled a bit more, I'm wondering once again: what are you still watching a few weeks on from the initial question? What has fallen by the wayside in the time since? Are you still sticking with Nikita or No Ordinary Family? Curious to see whether Undercovers will improve?
What are you still watching? And what have you deleted from your TiVo Season Pass list?
Talk back here.

I keep up with Law & Order UK, Luther.
A little behind with Mike & Molly, Hawaii Five-0.

Seriously.
I ditched The Event. I started to watch ep 4, and didn't even make it through the "previously on" before I decided I didn't have any interest in watching the rest of the episode, or the show ever again.
Raising hope is by far my favorite new show, but there isn't much competition.
Nikita is still holding my interest, but it really needs to lighten up a bit. It's SO serious. It could take a tone page from it's lead-in.
I feel better now.
Still like Nikita, but behind on everything else. I've got 2-4 eps still on Tivo for Terriers, Undercovers, Hawaii 5-0, Boardwalk Empire, Luther. But I can't get myself excited to watch them once I get through my returning shows. Which I think sums up this season.
Dropped The Event after 2 eps. Close to dropping No Ordinary Family. May watch the remaining eps of Outlaw, but seems pointless (both the show and the outlook for it).
Still DVRing but not caught up on and thinking about quitting: Boardwalk Empire and Undercovers. I'm always waiting for Undercovers to become more like my beloved Felicity and Alias, but it never happens. And the concept of Boardwalk Empire was better than the reality for me--although I haven't seen the last few episodes.
Still DVRing and watching but not really paying attention to when I watch: The Event and No Ordinary Family.
Gave up on H50 and "No Ordinary Family" after 2 episodes each.
Still watching "Nikita" and "The Event", although the latter is on a short leash.

I have all episodes of The Event saved on DVR but have not watched yet. Now that NBC has decided to keep, I will probably watch.
I gave up on Blue Bloods, Undercovers, Raising Hope, Outsourced.
Mike & Molly is on the bubble and so is No Ordinary Family.
Still watching Hawaii Five -o, The Defenders, Nikita but none of them are must see for me.
Terriers is the only one I really care about seeing.
Nothing really stands out about them - at least, in my opinion. As for Nikita...it's on shaky ground. It could go either way. This past episode was actually really good.
Blue Bloods
Hawaii 5-0
Raising Hope
The Big C
And I'm still watching Rubicon but only because I'm 7 episodes behind.
