In order:

Head Cases (Fox did this, or I would still be watching)

On the cusp:
Threshold (last chance this Friday)
Invasion
Surface

Invasion
How I met Your Mother

Alias remains on thin ice. American Dad has gone from thin ice to reinforced steel.

It certainly couldn't hurt the second one.

How I Met Your Mother
Reunion (HORRIBLE show)

I haven't seen Invasion or Threshold yet, those might get dumped.

I like the two eps I've seen of Bones.

So far just Prison Break....

I did clean up some old shows to make room for new shows (CSI Miami, The Apprentice and L&O Criminal Intent)

There's a few that I've sampled and decided were crap... but the only ones I would consider "dropped" are Bones and Reunion. I'm also leaning towards losing Prison Break.

And one that I had no plans to "pick up", but I'm still watching... is Supernatural. Still not a great show, but it's keeping my interest so far.

Only Ghost Whisperer and Killer Instincts, but in reality I sampled those knowing I probably wasn't going to be into them.

One the cusp for me are:

Reunion - Sort of entertaining in a dumb way, but if I end up enjoying Night Stalker there may be too much conflict in that time period to bother with it

Invasion - I just don't see there being enough to fill out a whole series here, at least enough to sustain interest and not keep repeating itself. The same could possibly be said about Threshold, but at least I like the characters in that one. I'll give it a few more weeks, or until I get bored.

Bones - Was iffy on this, but the second episode improved on all the things I disliked about the pilot. If it keeps improving I'll stick around, otherwise I doubt it.

The War at Home - I pretty much only watch this because it's lodged between two shows I'm already watching. I don't hate it like most do, but I wouldn't bother with it if it moved to another time slot.

Threshold - Great pilot IMO, but disappointing second episode. I like the characters, but if it keeps the downward spiral that may not be enough. It has the benefit of being the only thing I enjoy on Friday, though.

This season so far has been a major disappointment. Wow. And it showed so much more promise. Just gives me more reason to continue looking forward to January's '24' Season Premiere!

Shows I watched and didn't care for:

Prison Break
Invasion
Surface (I reallllllllly thought this had potential but the creative team behind it simply can't meet Abrams or Whedon genius. Too bad. It'll be cancelled.)

WHOOPS! I meant Criminal Minds.

I could have also said Just Cases or Head Legal, too.

(I stil need to watch Killer Instinct but I am creeped out about the spider thing I read about.)

Bones
Surface
Invaision
War at Home

Last Chance:
Reunion

MATT

and I'm stunned that people are talking about ditching how I met your mother, supernatural and most shocking Prison Break. All of these shows are pretty decent, especially PB, best new show!

War at Home. I have the first episode of E-Ring on tivo, haven't watched it yet, and am unlikely to start since there's already a 2 show conflict there for me.

My Name is Earl.

It's just too predictable. At least CSI is interesting, but I just find Earl boring. It seems like it's just a paycheck for Jason Lee.

These are prety much the new shows I am sticking with for now as well (although Supernatural is on thin ice), but have yet to watch How I met your Mother and Invasion, as they are sitting on my HD waiting to be watched. Ive dropped:
Threshold (such a boring pilot)
Over There
