Elementary.

Waiting for Dr Who to continue.

The Following just started over here, and I’ve been watching that.

Still watching\* The Following\*, but only because my wife wants to find out what happens. Neither of us like it much, and I’d be done with it if I had control of the remote.

_Nashville_ is cheesy but entertaining.

_Smash_ is even cheesier but we like to watch and mock it.

_The Americans_ is OK, good but not great.

_Modern Family_

_The Office_ is still on the DVR season pass; stuck with it this long, might as well watch the demise.

Still catching up on _Breaking Bad_ on Netflix, trying to get through past seasons before the new one starts. I think we have three more from season 4 and the 8 eps in season 5 to go.

Waiting for _Mad Men_ to start.

Elementary  
CSI (Las Vegas version)

As a newly-minted fan, I’m anxiously awaiting new Doctor Who!

</div>

**Castle  
Burden of Proof** (though I’m losing interest as it goes from House wannabe to 24 wannabe)  
**CSI  
Community  
Scandal  
Grimm  
Once Upon a Time** (also starting to lose patience with it).

Of these, only **Scandal** and **Grimm** are continuing to increase my interest (though last week’s **Castle** was far better than it looked like it would be).

</div>

Community, Elementary, Person of Interest, Good Wife, the Middle, Blue Bloods and NCIS are the ones I don’t miss. There are others that, if I remember, I will turn on and watch, but if I forget it doesn’t bother me.

</div>

The ones I really look forward to as opposed to watching because I feel like I need to keep up are: Revenge, Elementary, Supernatural and Person of Interest has gradually been moving into this category.

Did you see last week’s episode of this show? That doctor that Danny had to go and see what absolutely no help to him. The guy never once gave any suggestions about how to deal with stress. ☹ ☹ ☹

God bless you always!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Holly

P.S. Danny was right when he says that he never takes his work issues out on his family. I haven’t been watching the show that long, but yeah that is one thing that I have never seen him do so far. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Shows new this season, I’m still watching **Nashville** and \*_Dallas_. The other shows I’m sticking with are **Amazing Race** , and while they last **The Office** and **Parks and Recreation**. That’s really about itb

Most are on hiatus right now, but my must-watch list is: _Archer_, _Big Bang Theory_, _Doctor Who_, _Breaking Bad_, _South Park_, _Louie_ and _Doctor Who_.

Talk shows (depends on how late I stay up and if the guests look interesting: _Daily Show_, _Colbert Report_, _David Letterman_, _Craig Ferguson_ and _Bill Maher_.

It seems as if Danny runs the NYPD by himself. Even though I never thought of it as realistic, it’s getting to the point of fantasy.

</div>

Too much, I’m afraid:

Justified  
Southland (and very surprised that no others are watching this excellent series)  
The Americans  
Mad Men  
Breaking Bad  
Downton  
Walking Dead  
Portlandia  
Daily Show  
Colbert  
Hardball (occasionally; I call the show Mr. Shouty-Pants and can only take infrequent doses; same with Maddow)  
Treme, if it returns this year, and possibly Nurse Jackie, if it returns

Network TV has become an irradiated wasteland, IMO. I watch nothing other than the news.

</div>

I love TV and Hulu Plus helps me see a lot more shows than I otherwise would…

Revenge  
Castle  
Hart of Dixie  
CSI  
Lost Girl  
Pretty Little Liars  
Bones  
Scandal  
Arrow  
Nashville  
The Mindy Project  
Vampire Diaries  
Grey’s Anatomy --\> by this point it’s inertia  
Once Upon a Time --\> ditto  
Supernatural —\> getting to the same point

Looking forward to the returns of:  
Haven  
Grimm  
True Blood  
Game of Thrones  
Warehouse 13

Clearly, I got distracted and forgot about my query to the Boards - fun to see what folks are still sticking with ~ not sure we’ll stay with Psych, and REALLY looking forward to Grimm’s return, I think this Friday. Glad I stuck with Once Upon a Time, as the storyline is a LOT more interesting currently than it had been. Bones had been on the chopping block, but I’m still in, in the hopes this is the final season. Also looking foward to the return of Royal Pains, Warehouse 13 and Haven. Good thing the dreary soggy runs for so long in Seattle - all the more excuse to stay in and catch up on shows 🙂

Thanks for all the great responses!
