I know. It was bull**** that that got cancelled and yet we still have three CSI's. Back then Wednesday was easily my favorite night for network TV. That and Dirty, Sexy Money were just the bees knees, and I even somehow got into Private Practice.

Where Hannibal is the darkest of all three of these shows, I can see where HBO, Cinemax, etc. would have been a better venue, though.
I've definitely been enjoying Hannibal, but since I don't have a DVR (or cable) I have to choose between that and Elementary. Elementary is a much more easy to digest show, and I have a short attention span so that's good, but Hannibal looks like it has such potential to build and build. My only reservation is also that it looks like it would be better on cable, but it's managed to be disturbing enough that I'm hoping they can manage to get around network TV BS.

Edit: Although it is slightly annoying at just how slow it seems to be moving. I'm not asking for anything major, just maybe a little glimpse of some Hopkins action. Lecter is just too reserved (along with a few other characters for that matter) to really grab me at this point. Again, I'm hoping for buildup, but with Elementary tugging at me I might just lose patience.
