psssh. You need to step up your TV game dawg. Netflixing aka Marathoning is an endurance (couch/bed) sport, and it sounds like someone needs to whip your pansy ass into proper tummy table couch rooted shape.
huh... what do you mean this is the wrong threat and we aren't in the Funhouse? what the **** are you talking about!? anyway....
Person of Interest is Quality TV, and if you are interested in Quality TV and have less than 7 shows on your current roster, then you need to add some PoI to your life.
So what are you watching by the way? make a full and complete list. On and off season shows please.
Priority shows:Mad Men (Wrapping up his spring. So sad.)
Parks and Recreation (Wrapping up this year. So sad.)
Arrow (Entering what should be its prime. Get pumped!)
Survivor (It's 29th season and I still love. Last season was one of its best yet.)
Shows I'll watch but I'm up and down on:Brooklyn Nine-Nine (Guess I'll check it out again. Had I not checked TV listings I'd have honestly forgotten this show existed. It can have some funny moments but it has yet to grab me like Parks and Recreation or The Office in its prime.)
The Mentalist (Should be it's last season also. It has become a shell of its former self. Part of me still hopes some effort is made to salvage the Red John story after the travesty of how it ended. Or that something is done to at least make things interesting. The charm of the two main characters, Jane and Lisbon, is the only thing carrying this show now. Yet, that charm is compelling enough for me to keep tuning in despite lowering expectations.)
Jeopardy (It is what it is. A daily quiz challenge to see what I know and what I don't.)
The Amazing Race (There are times where this can be a fantastic show in location, scenery, competition and drama and there are times where you realize you are just watching 16 people drink a cup of tea to get a clue leading them to a barren countryside to then unfurl a roll of hay for another clue. Sometimes compelling, sometimes dull.)
Tosh.0 (Sometimes spot-on hilarious, sometimes filth. It's how I prefer to view Youtube/web videos. Its a more adult version of America's Funniest Home Videos. [which has somehow yet to die] You don't know what you are going to get on any given episode but because of the times where the humour and subject matter blend so well, I keep watching for that next comedy high.)
On the bubble but I'll probably stick it out:Elementary (The problem with this show is that it has shown it can actually be a really interesting take on Sherlock Holmes. Unfortunately, it insists on having most episodes revolve around an investigation of some sort. This can make for interesting television like the Mentalist where if you are paying attention, you can sometimes figure out the solution just before it revealed to you. Unfortunately, Elementary's investigations consist of you following along as the characters just reveal things to you and make the next deduction. The case is slowly being solved the whole time so there's no meta-game to play. Moreover, Season 2 saw the show really stretching with some of their case ideas and uses of technology. If the portrayal of Holmes, Watson and Moriarty wasn't so interesting, I'd probably dump this show and I still might as even that is losing my interest.)
Homeland (It has some interesting ideas and plots and solid acting but unfortunately, it has also gotten bogged down with many logic gaps and pointless developments and terrible character decisions/developments while losing all sustainability of the suspension of disbelief that I was ready to walk away from the show at the end of Season 3. However, it hit a sort of reset button then and the reviews of the current season's episodes are actually pretty positive so I'll probably check it out to see what it is doing.)
New Shows I Intend to Check OutThe Flash (It's the only show so far to share the same universe with Arrow, so I'll give it a shot in the hopes it can keep up with Arrow's momentum.)
Mulaney (I'd like to find a new comedy to watch. Parks is ending and Brooklyn Nine-Nine is still iffy for me. Please no Chuck Lorre suggestions as I said comedy. I've actually seen Mulaney perform a couple of short stand-up sets before and I like him and his brand of humour so that's why I'm willing to give this a shot. Plus, it has Martin Short as well and I've always liked his humour also even if it hasn't resulted in as much mainstream success as other comedians.)
Seasonal TVAmerica's Got Talent (I adore the Gong Show and this is its spiritual successor. It's not perfect and the Gong Show has the better hosts and judges but it shows enough incredible things to justify its existence and keep me watching.)
Sherlock (It's almost been a year since the last 3 episodes aired. I can't believe it after waiting like 2 and half for the answers to the previous cliffhanger. Another year and half to go for the next 3 I guess.)
Now that may not seem like much but that is because I'm more of a movie watcher. I've currently got a stack of 9 movies I took out from the library sitting by my TV. Tomorrow, I'll be going to see Gone Girl. (Finally! a movie worth watching has been released in theatres). Of those 9 movies, I just finished watching one called Gods and Generals. It was about the civil war and was 3-1/2 hours long. Since you want to know my viewing habits so much I'll let you know what the other titles are. Fruitvale Station, Charly, Leave Her to Heaven, The Hunt, Jeremiah Johnson, There's No Business Like Show Business, Monsieur Verdoux and The Big Parade.
I like movies because most movies are self-contained so even a 4 hour long epic is shorter than a season of Mad Men or Breaking Bad. While TV is now starting to catch up more in the art side of things, most movies have a greater art direction, better cinematography and greater budget to stand above most TV programs.
In the end though, and in this great example I've just made of burying the lead, I had just gotten a pizza yesterday and I didn't feel like starting a movie so I finally watched the first episode of Person of Interest instead. Didn't realize Jonathon Nolan was the producer. It was compelling enough that I watched the second and third episodes tonight so the PoI train is starting to leave the station. So, mission accomplished on your end I guess. I may post some early thoughts about it later if I want to take the time. I got a lot to watch and have Smash Bros. Fever as well.
