The fall t.v. line-up is here and I’m not amused. This seems
to be the same underwhelmed feeling experienced by many wary media consumers
over the past, many seasons of television premieres. There seems to be nothing
new and worthy of my time.
I don’t watch much t.v. as I would rather be out there
living my life rather than watching scripted actors live theirs. This is not a
judgment on anyone; I do not look down upon anyone who watches shows often.
Watching is just not one of my priorities or habits.
Some people watch shows with their friends or significant
others. It is a ritual and gives them something to talk about. These people
will go to work and gossip about what happened with their co-workers. They keep
the proverbial water cooler warm with their socializing. That’s just not me.
That being said, it takes a lot for me to decide that
something is worthy of my watching time. Most of “my stories” have ended.
Series over, leaving me without a favorite and certainly without anything that
I appointment watch. I figure if a show is good enough I can catch up on it
later, or tough luck if I neglect to watch it.
I will admit to being a pseudo Thursday night Gladiator, of
the Scandal ilk. Plus, I have watched the new Shonda Rhimes show, How to GetAway With Murder and I am slightly intrigued. Although, I don’t know if my
interest is strong enough to keep my viewing attention. I didn’t watch either
show when it aired. I watched afterward on abc.com and will likely continue to
do so. Hooray for shows streaming on network websites.
I continue to be very
amused by The Mindy Project and The New Girl (to a lesser degree). However, I
wouldn’t mind missing either of these shows. Actually, this week I did miss
both and although I am thinking about watching I might not get around to it.
That may be the sum of my tv viewing this season, I might
not get around to it.
