The 5 changes i'd really like are:

1) The white background and light grey lettering. It's really hard on the eyes. Some of the things like what an episode is rated is not visible at all.

2) The limit of 4 blogs to a page.

3) The new ratings meter. It really irritates the hell out of me. I can't rate episodes accurately anymore.

4) There are some kinks in the drop down menus. If you want to visit the episodes of the latest season sometimes the page won't load even with repeated tries.

5) There are loads of kinks in the forums. Things like the quote button doesn't work at all at times and is full of errors. And there have been several instances of the full quote not showing if you are using quick quotes and my reply comes in between the quote.

This is my first blog since the redesign.. mostly because I couldn't find the damn new blog button..

I'm still getting used to the redesign and one of the reasons its bugging me is that off late I have grown very busy with work and I now have to use my limited time online trying to familiarilze myself to the site once again.

But I guess with time i'll grow used to it.

By the way.. the episodes rating thingy.. i can only rate it in intervals of 0.5 now... This is bugging the crap out of me. I now have to rate an episode either 9 or 9.5.. i can't rate it 9.1 or 9.3. Is there any way around this? I noticed a couple of other people not having this problem so I was wondering if there was a solution.

The forums too have a lot of bugs. I hope they get around to fixing it soon.

I dunno about you guys.. but I thought the season has taken off with a bang. Both House and Smallville had great season premieres. Well... House not as much.. but it was still pretty decent.

Smallville really surprised me. I wasn't expecting such a good episode. Now i'm even more excited about the rest of the season.

I had planned to review every episode this season. I have tried to do this before but it has never happened. This year I plan to follow through.

With this in mind I have already reviewed Odyssey.

I'm getting used to the new TV.com slowly... the white still irritates me and the quoting in the forums and the buttons moving around still irritates me. But I figure i'll get used to it in time.

I'm wondering if Submission has changed a lot.

So.. how did you guys like the start to the season? Were the premieres to the shows you watch any good?
