Re: Damm, anyone else's Show watching list just blowing out ?

On my list, Prison Break, Reaper, and Sarah Connor were cancelled. 24 and LOST have one more year (or it looks that way for 24). Damn it!

I've only added Flashforward to my list. Still deciding on Community.

Still bummed about Reaper.

Yeah, I watch way too much stuff. With football and all the shows I watch, I'm usually days behind watching stuff, only watching my favorites the day's they are on.

IMO absolutely not. It does however seem that many people are willing to watch just about anything anyway.

Re: Damm, anyone else's Show watching list just blowing out ?

This has been a rather lackluster fall for new shows in my opinion, at least in drama.

New comedies have been pretty good (with the exception of Accidently On Purpose), but the new dramas I've watched so far have ranged from meh (The Forgotten, Eastwick) to the pretty terrible (Mercy, Melrose Place). The Good Wife was OK, and I haven't watched FlashForward yet.

I lost Life, Pushing Daisies, and My Name is Earl. I've added Glee, Community, Modern Family, and Flash Forward.

Not sure how long I'll stick with Glee or Flash Forward though. They might get dropped like Fringe did last year.

Re: Damm, anyone else's Show watching list just blowing out ?

Yes! Curb Your Enthusiasm is back so I have gone from watching 0 shows to 1. I'm glad it's back though, and will just have to push other things aside to watch it.

Other than News, Movies & Sports I guess a good portion of my viewing is the I.D. & TruTV channels. It's always nice to be eating while watching COPS, Hot Pursuit, Video Justice, Police Women of Broward County, The Shift, Most Evil, Inside American Jail, Bait Car, Speeders, etc. There's no substitute for shows based on actual events and not the tired CSI type shows.

Just wish they would get rid of shows like Operation Repo (fake), Rehab: Party at the Hard Rock Hotel & A Haunting.

Re: Damm, anyone else's Show watching list just blowing out ?

I've actually cut my show watching down in the last few years. As of right now the only shows I watch regularly are:
The Office
30 Rock
Fringe
FlashForward

Non network I got:
Ghost Hunters
Destination Truth

Pretty manageable to me.

Re: Damm, anyone else's Show watching list just blowing out ?

I'm one who can record 40+ shows in a season. I have my regulars that I watch pretty much immediately(Fringe, CSI, House) while I will sometimes let other shows build up for months before I have marathons(Monk, the last 2 Seasons of My Boys) that I just make a weekend out of. Plus since I have the space these days I let some shows build up for a bit before watching them since it also helps not getting attached to them for reasons such as cancellation. I can lose a good 15 shows every season while gaining another 10 to 15 to fill the void.

I got to drop The Shield and Sarah Connor from last year.

But I've picked up Sons of Anarchy, Hung (just finished), and FlashForward.

The only three things I make sure to watch are baseball, Psych and Burn Notice. It'll be DVDs and the Wii to keep my TV active after October.

Only show for me that was cancelled was Sarah Connor. Only new addition I guess would be NCIS: Los Angeles.

In addition to some canceled shows, I probably won't watch Lie To Me or The Mentalist anymore. I won't watch any new hour long shows until they get good buzz and/or are picked up. I'll check out some comedies.

Well I had it all worked out, but V is coming and I just started to record The National Parks mini series and that turned out to be a DVR-buster so I may wait for the Blu-Ray on it now.

Re: Damm, anyone else's Show watching list just blowing out ?

I lost Pushing Daisies, My Name is Earl, Reaper, and ER. Then there is Scrubs which is gone, but that depends on if the spin off shows up.

I picked up Flash Forward, Californication, Burn Notice, and How I Met Your Mother. The last three I caught up with over the summer on DVD.

So it's a wash for me. Lost 4, picked up 4.

Absolutely not. Haven't picked up anything new yet (at least nothing that has passed the season pass test) and I'm thinking of dropping Brothers & Sisters and Parks & Recreation. I'm sure that Dollhouse isn't long for this world, either.
