Mostly sci-fi, but with a couple eof xceptions...

20/Sep Chuck

More spy-fi than sci fi, though it certainly has sci-fi elements. I
actually wasn't that into this show - but caught up with previous eps out of
boredom during the US off-seasons - and grew to like it! It also set itself
up quite well for next season - assuming Chuck is a new (secret) rogue
spy/Orion type figure.

20/Sep HIMYM

Not even remotely sci-fi - but we all need our comic relief... and who
couldn't love Barney?! :)

23/Sep Fringe

Another one I didn't get into until watching previous seasons during the
hiatus (I actually found the father too annoying to watch)... The story arc
ramped up pretty heavily in the last half of the last season, and set the
storyline up for at least half the next season. I'm actually looking forward
to it!

26/Sep Dexter

The last season ended the only way it could have - new child, borne in the
blood of the mother - just like Dexter. I'm hoping they pick up recently
where they left off- and don't do a "several months later" thing. As as
aside, it's also nice to see Julie Benz see life after Dexter (and Darla)
with her new role in, ""No Ordinary Family."

28/Sep SGU

Hit and miss in seasons 1. I like that it's darker than SG1 (and doesn't
have endless enouncters with thatched cottages!) - but hope they speed up
the story arc!

01/Oct Human Target

Only recently stared watching first season... not sure I care too much - the
hero is too invincible.

06/Oct South Park

Another non-sci-fi on the list... but one of the best shows ever created!
Unlike "The Simpsons," this is one animation that just seems to get better
and better as time goes on.... The second half of season 14 is now here :)

15/Oct Sanctuary

Season 1 ending and beginning of season 2 concluded in an awesome fashion
(especially with the death of the daughter)... this was apparently directed
from above to show how hard they were... which I don't have a problem with -
except it's been lame ever since! The new season returns with conclusion to
Kali eps, but frankly, doeas anyone really give a shit?!

??/Nov V

I'm a sci-fi junkie, so I'll watch, but... meh! Not as cool as the earlier
version (though, as an 8-year old, the Nazi uniforms and eating the od rat
seemed pretty freaking awesome!)

Cheers,
Fleeced

I watch all the above except 3 of those, namely HIMYM, South Park, & V.
Good comments on those I do watch, Fleeced.

You forgot The Big Bang Theory which while not SF is very definitely SF
themed.

I like this series for precisely that reason.

2nd season pushed back to 17 Nov.

I like it also, and thanks for the info John.
I was wondering why it wasn't available yet.
