At least for me.
I used to be a TV addict devotedly watching waaaay more TV than any single person should have watched weekly. Once I got a VCR, I habitually taped show after show and added regularly to my massive collection. (Hey
artemis2050, did you know Voyagers! came out on DVD last year?)
Now I'm mostly a political junkie but there are still a few TV shows I do watch regularly. This week I officially dropped one.
Sorry, Ugly Betty. I still think it's a good show, but completely serialized shows are hard for me to keep up with.
So my current non-political TV lineup is as follows:
Supernatural (yeah, it's somewhat serialized, but Kripke has the good sense to break it up with one shot episodes.)
Numbers
Boston Legal (occasionally there will be "previously on Boston Legal" to deal with, but that's no biggie)
Time will tell if Heroes stays in the running once it starts again this fall.
Otherwise, I'll stick with The Daily Show, The Colbert Report and Countdown with Keith Olbermann - and any of the other MSNBC shows that bring in Rachel Maddow.
I'm sure all of my flist is thrilled to be made aware of this important development in my life.
Good night and good luck.
