TV

[desh]

A list of TV shows that I haven't seen yet, or have only seen a tiny amount of, that I might eventually watch, in order of likelihood:

1. Freaks and Geeks
2. Firefly
3. Dollhouse*
4. Battlestar Galactica
5. 30 Rock
6. Always Sunny In Philadelphia
7. The Wire
999. Every other freaking Whedon show that people keep talking about

* Because my roommate's watching it anyway, so it's easy; would probably be bumped to 5 or 6 otherwise

And this doesn't even count the 5 current shows I follow (NCIS/House/L&O/L&O/L&O) and the Arrested Development catching up I still have to do.

Plus, Degrassi: TNG. Let's not go there.

So, nnaylime and the rest of y'all who love BSG so much, here's the problem: It's competing for my TV time with 6 things I'm already hooked on (5 current and 1 on DVD), whatever sporting events I watch, and 4 other series that are either 30 minute shows or are fewer than 25 total episodes and are therefore less daunting. Still, one day...

I've heard BSG isn't as terrible as it sounds, but still, whenever I read a plot synopsis I want to beat people up and take their lunch money.

I've been wanting to watch The Wire, I'll probably buy the series on DVD and get around to it later this summer.

I have to admit, if you take away my friends' ravings about BSG, and all I had to go on was what I'd read in newspapers and anonymous blogs and commercials I'd seen and plot summaries and so on, I wouldn't be interested at all. It's only my friends giving it tremendous praise that makes me interested. But my friends have good taste.
