At the risk of revealing just how pathetic my life is, I am looking
forward to some "good" television.  When do these shows premiere and
what is their regularly scheduled time slot?

Tommy Lee Goes to College
Battle of the Reality tv All Stars
Survivor
The Amazing Race
Project Runway
American Idol
Grey's Anatomy
America's Next Top Model

Also, if you noticed a theme in the above shows, are there any others
premiering this year that might interest me?

One of these things is not like the other.  "Grey's Anatomy" isn't a
reality show.  It's a hospital drama/romance -- and very good, too.

Good eye cryptica.  I think Grey's Anatomy is the only non-reality
show I like.  Perhaps it has something to do with Patrick Dempsy.  I
am itching for the new season - what about that wife showing up at the
end of last season?!?
