The Semi-Official Blog of the Super-Official White Russian Army

I say every year, I’m not going to watch any new shows.  I say this for a number of reasons, I’m too busy (so true) most new shows are crap, I follow too many already, I don’t have cable.  With more shows online now it is insanely easy to access TV, without the TV.  I’ve watch two shows this week on actual TV, Frontline and Nova.  Yes this is because most of my TV viewing is between the networks and WTTW.  But also I’m not home at nights to even watch stuff on the networks when they air.  I totally agree that in the future we’ll watch all our TV, commercials and all, through the web.

Sidetracking back, my entertainment source Aint It Cool News summarized the Hollywood Reporter on where the fall shows stand for continuing.  Almost every show I watch is on the bubble and all the crap ones I avoid are likely to continue.  WTF.  Really?  How does this happen?  Everytime.  I watched like two ep of Moonlight fulling intending on catching up later, cancelled.  Loved New Amsterdam, midseason on Fox.  Cancelled.  Pushing Daisies cut short because of the strike and is now in peril.  The first 2 ep of the Ex-List were hilarious and warm, bubble land.  But Knight Rider is expect to go to Christmas?  Huh? 

I do it to myself though.  I’m a narrative person, I get invested in the story, very much like my reading habits.  I need to know how it end, how it all ties together.  And I’m fiercely loyal too, friends, sport teams, Project Runway contestants, (Yay Leanne!!).  I’ve been cheerleading for Pushing Daisies since I saw the Pie-lette at ComicCon ‘07.   I can’t have my heart broken anymore by characters that stick around for 13 ep and then are gone.  Instituting a new rule, must have 2 complete seasons before I’ll start watching.  I have to do it, I have to protect myself.  Or start making my own TV.  Which I hear has gotten very easy since this thing the Internet started.
