I think I'm going to start watching TV again. Ten years ago, I could have told you what was on every channel in every time slot every day of the week. I haven't really watched much of anything in about three years. I barely even turn the thing on.
The last shows that I tried to commit myself to were Aaron Sorkin's "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" and "Heroes". The good will that I and every other viewer, critic and exec. felt toward Sorkin's "West Wing" evaporated from "Studio 60" very quickly. I didn't watch "Heroes" during its initial first season run but picked up the DVD box set in anticipation for season two. I loved the first season. I watched the truncated second season as it was happening. That pretty much soured me on committing myself to tuning into a weekly show. I still keep up with "Heroes" on DVD, but I haven't picked up the final season yet -- but based on its previous history, I can tell you it probably isn't good and that its plot and character arcs are exactly the same as the 3 preceding seasons.
