So 4 months later... lets update

Since I gave my opinion on all of the new shows in September, let's just see how I did.

Will definitely watch again: Community, Glee, Archer, Defying Gravity, Cleveland Show, V

Community is going strong and getting better on Thursday nights.
Glee is one of the top rated scripted shows on television and the recipient of the most Golden Globe nominations of any show.
Archer is being finally brought in by FX and aired, so we will see
The Cleveland Show is getting quite good ratings Sunday nights, although not higher than The Simpsons or Family Guy.
V is on hiatus until later after a mild reception by audiences
I am calling this one 6/6

Might give another try: Mercy, Modern Family, Flash Forward, Cougar Town, Bored To Death, The Middle, The Good Wife

Mercy nearly got cancelled, but was saved by how terrible Trauma was. The ratings are still low and I have trouble staying awake watching it, but I can still see how women might enjoy the show.
Flash Forward, like V, is on hiatus, but it seemed like people were interested in keeping with it. It definitely isn't as good as Lost, but it isn't horrible. We will see how the cliffhanger turns out.
Cougar Town, The Middle, and Modern Family have all gotten better and the ratings have been decently strong too.
Bored To Death was like almost any other HBO show... it filled time, but it isn't anything I would go out and buy on DVD.
The Good Wife is pretty much the same. I can't say that it is actually getting better, and the ratings aren't really holding up now that it doesn't have Dancing With The Stars as a lead in. It's barely beating Leno with almost NO competition and hemmoraging viewers from NCIS/NCIS:LA
First impressions match up with current... I will call 7/7 on this too.

Will not watch: Eastwick, Beautiful Life, The Forgotten, Three Rivers, Trauma, Hank 
6 shows, 6 cancellations (mostly... 1 pending). Need I say more?

So 19 shows and I was pretty much right on with every single one after just one episode. I should do this for a living. Oh wait, there is also the fact that every single show I ever really love ends up on the verge of cancellation... After all I have been watching Conan since day one... of Late Night.
