The Sad Part Of TV Watching

What is the sad part? It's the time when all your shows are on hiatus. You've just watched a bunch of season finales and now have nothing but repeats to look forward to.

Months and months of repeats.

Yeah, occasionally you'll find the rare show that starts at this time of year and is decent. But that's rare.

I'm not a big tv watcher. For years would barely have it on. The most work it would get would be football Sundays. But recently, we (my girlfriend and I) have found some shows we actually enjoy. We'll DVR 'em and watch when we get a chance.

And as of last night, all our shows are on hiatus until the new season starts this fall. Now this does't include "fall back" shows, shows that we'll put on and watch but don't care if watch in order or on time. These are shows that will put on and watch if there's nothing else on.

What do we like for shows? Here's a quick run-down:

The Walking Dead
Alcatraz
Person Of Interest
Grimm
Lost Girl
The River
Touch (This is one of the rare shows that starts this time of year. First two episodes have been okay, but not sure if this will end up making the cut. The premise is quirky and I'll go into more depth on it in another post.)

The fall-back shows:
Storage Wars
Any of the housing shows (House Hunters, Property Virgins, etc..) on HGTV
Tosh.0
Duck Dynasty

The girlfriend also watchs Sons Of Anarchy, but because it was so far along in seasons, I won't be watching it unless we start getting it a season at a time. She also watched Dexter as well.

I'm hoping to be able to get ahold of A Game Of Thrones and watch the first season soon.

If you haven't been able to tell, we're not into the "one and done" kind of shows, the periodicals like CSI, NCIS, Law & Order, etc...

And we especially don't get into sitcoms.

We like the fantasy/action/adventure shows. We like shows that have depth. We like shows that are quirky. Basically the shows that not that many other people do.

Aside from Touch, which just started, only one of our shows is guranteed to be coming back next season: The Walking Dead.

We're both big fans of Firefly. Which of course only lasted one season. We keep hoping one of our favorite shows will become the next Lost or Buffy, lasting for awhile. It kind of sucks knowing we only have one show to look forward to next season. Can only hope we'll have more.

So this time of the year is now doubly sad for us.
