Just how many shows *do* I watch?

10 thoughts on “Just how many shows *do* I watch?”

1. looks like my list. oi! I don’t want to think about it.

2. Ha! Sometimes it’s too much and sometimes I can’t get enough.

3. Do you even sleep?? hehe You’ve got it BAD!

   Of your list, these are the ones I have seen every ep:

   Fringe
   FlashForward
   Dollhouse
   Dexter (Just started a few weeks ago, not every ep)
   V
   Heroes
   True Blood

4. My whole Saturday has been catching up on shows so far. Gonna get some fresh air later on, :D ,,,and oh yeah, I sleep.

5. I’m the same way. I love TV too, though I’ve forced myself to cut down some recently.

   My Sci-Fi List:
   – Chuck
   – Defying Gravity (almost certainly cancelled)
   – Dollhouse (watch begrudgingly)
   – FlashForward
   – Lost
   – Sanctuary
   – Star Wars: The Clone Wars (but barely ranks above background noise)
   – Stargate: Universe
   – V
   – Warehouse 13 (though the show will have to improve some to impress me)

   My Non-Sci-Fi List:
   – Brothers & Sisters (only thing on Sunday nights)
   – Cougar Town
   – Glee (not as consistently good as the hype implies)
   – House
   – Rescue Me (though this past season felt very uneven)
   – Scrubs
   – South Park
   – Survivor (though the current season sucks)

   Considering that’s just the main prime stuff and doesn’t include shows I catch occasionally (like Mythbusters), PBS stuff (New Yankee Workshop, This Old House, Ask This Old House, and occasionally Woodwright’s Shop), repeats of old favorites on cable (The Practice, Gilmore Girls, and occasionally The West Wing, SG-1, and ST:TNG), and rewatching shows on DVD (Lost & Babylon 5) — I probably still watch too much TV.

   If you’re watching Heroes, you *are* watching too much TV too. ;) I’ve never seen Dexter, but from what I’ve heard about it, can it really be called sci-fi?

6. Some of the crap that goes on in that lab definitely makes it a science fiction of sorts.

   Cougar Town? Really? I’m embarrassed for you. :P

7. Cougar Town is by the same guy that created Scrubs, so I’m holding out hope that it will improve. But, so far, it has two problems compared to Scrubs:

   (1) It doesn’t have the same “heart” that Scrubs has. As funny as Scrubs is, it still has the bittersweet drama of hospital life mixed in. It’s a comedy that sometimes has no choice to address life & death stuff too. So far, Cougar Town is just about sex & getting older.

   (2) Scrubs has the advantage of having a lot of its zany humor go on inside J.D.’s head, and he’s got an overactive imagination. Cougar Town doesn’t use that same device. Everything zany that happens on that show has to happen in real life, and real life is rarely that zany. (I’d use a another word for “zany,” but I just woke up. The thesaurus in my head hasn’t quite kicked in yet.)

   Another problem with Cougar Town is that it tries a little too hard to fill every single moment with something funny. It ends up feeling kind of spastic. But, as I said, I have faith in Bill Lawrence, so I’ll keep giving it a shot.

8. I must also be some kind of fancy bot, since we share the same shows to a large degree. My list is your list with a few of the shows you watch cut out.

   Fringe
   Lost
   Doctor Who
   Flash Forward
   Dollhouse
   Dexter
   Stargate: Universe
   Warehouse 13
   Eureka
   V
   Heroes
   Legend of the Seeker
   Merlin
   True Blood
   Man Vs Wild
   Vampire Diaries
   Torchwood
   Defying Gravity

9. Man vs. Wild…. I’d still be watching Survivor Man if it was still on. I couldn’t get into MvW. I’m not going to try. I have too many shows as is! :P

10. Add Caprica and Smallville.
