You know how you can tell if you've got an excessive TV-watching habit? When you have so many TV shows to watch that you have to prioritise them by obligatory-watchingness. That's what I've had to do with Scrubs, Veronica Mars, The Office, Heroes, Grey's Anatomy, The OC, Lost, Desperate Housewives and Ugly Betty - and Amazing Race hasn't even started yet!
It all started with iTunes giving away the Pilot of Heroes for free last year- and it pretty much snowballed from there. Fast forward to now, and I've got 9 must-watch shows (with a few in reserve) and 14 episodes of Heroes on my computer. I hope sharing my problem can help someone with organising their TV-watching schedule. Well, at the very least, I get hear the narration-type voice in my head as I type (It's kinda like JD without the wacky fantasies and the summing up of the moral every 22 minutes).
Shows to download from iTunes as soon as they're aired in the US:
1. The Office (US Version) - I know, the UK one's supposed to be good too, but I figure the US version provides more value for money since there's heaps more episodes than the UK one.
2. Heroes - Since I'm up to episode 14, and love this show, I just can't wait for Channel 7 to air them... And who can hate Hiro, who can "bendo time and space"?
Shows to download by other means, but if they can't be found a couple of days later, just get them from iTunes anyway:
3. Scrubs - I thought this season didn't have the best start, but then there was My Musical and His Story IV (yay Dr. Kelso!), and the expected hilarity ensues.
4. Veronica Mars - Veronica's the new Buffy, without the vampire slaying, but still with all the cliffhangeriness and witty goodness.
Shows to watch online whenever they're available:
5. Ugly Betty - I wanted to see what all the hype was about, and now that I'm up to episode 11, I kinda see why. Enjoyable, but not as must-see as the others.
Shows to watch immediately on DVD, to possibly catch up to be able to watch on TV:
6. Grey's Anatomy - I purposely avoided this show for as long as possible since I knew it would be a show that I would like. I was right. Still haven't found why the Mc-prefix is added to everything though. I'll keep you posted.
Shows to watch on TV:
7. The OC - This season's so much better than the last two. Plus, with new regular Autumn Reeser as Taylor, on top of Rachel Bilson as Summer, it leaves open the debate of Summer vs. Autumn. Priceless.
7. Lost - I heard the first few episodes are kinda iffy, but now I'm two seasons into it, I really have to find out what the dealio is with the island.
8. Desperate Housewives - I totally forgot what happened last season, but I still feel obliged to watch it - might drop off my list, if it sucks (and if I have the willpower).
9. The White Rapper Show - Let me set the scene: After a white, female rapper gets drunk, waves a dildo in everyone's face, and starts using the N word, she is subsequently punished by being forced to wear oversized bling displaying "N word" while playing mini-golf. What more can you ask for?
Shows to be watched later:
10. Entourage
11. Extras
12. Survivor
Gotta run. Just finished downloading Heroes!
