I just realised for the past little while, I’ve been watching very few new episodes and a lot of Simpsons reruns. Of course, I can easily use the time to entertain myself by reading, but sometimes, sitting in front of that idiot box is just so satisfying after a long day at work.
The checklist so far:
Current shows I try to watch every week:
Gilmore Girls
Scrubs (this Thursday, yay!)
Veronica Mars (Watched first two seasons in two weeks and can’t stop watching)
Current shows I sometimes watch:
Simpsons
Family Guy
the Office (I’ve only watched the first season and a couple episodes of the second, a few of the third here and there, so I’m sometimes lost in terms of plot line. I find that watching Michael incredibly awkward, and it’s focussed too much onto him. Also, I know the people are sheep, but why doesn’t just one person stand up and say “Michael, shut up!”)
Shows I watch in syndication and DVD:
Futurama
Arrested Development
Roseanne
Friends (overrated, I know, but something about knowing all the episodes makes it easy to watch when nothing else is on)
Shows I never really liked:
Seinfeld (Apparently, this makes me crazy, because Seinfeld is teh funny??! I don’t know, something about the characters makes me want to switch channels in a hurry)
Everybody Loves Raymond
Will and Grace
Lost (I know, I know, innovative and exciting, but I really can’t bear to torture myself every season wondering what the hell the big mystery is. Nothing ever seems to get explained and more and more plot twists are thrown in, and from the few episodes I watched, I realised it wasn’t a tv show I’d like watching)
The list can go on, but that’s a few ideas. So, kind people of the Cafe Society, can you recommend some shows to catch up with? It’s nice on these cold (almost) winter days to snuggle up in a blankie and stare at the idiot box for a few hours.
