Preview of Week 01/31/10 - 02/06/10

This is a new weekly post where I point out 2 or 3 shows that should interest most people.

Lost - Tuesday, February 2

If you aren't watching this, you'll be missing out on something big. Lost wasn't the first show with the serialized, sci-fi craziness concept, but it certainly is the best, and managed to stay somewhat coherent. (I'm looking at you Twin Peaks.) At the end of last season, our island friends were in 1974 and Juliet had just detonated a nuclear warhead. In the present, Jacob had been stabbed and thrown into a fire by Ben. Locke is actually dead and the man in black was masquerading as Locke. What happens next is anyone's guess.

The Office - Thursday, February 4

I don't consider "The Banker" a new episode because there was hardly a story, so this will be the first new episode since December 10 which was almost two months ago. Dunder Mifflin is out and Sabre is in which means a new management that isn't used to the eccentric workers at the office. This ain't gonna go well.
