I usually start out the season wanting to watch a bunch of shows and the systematically forget to watch them until there is no point in bothering. <br /><br />I haves watched The Secret Circle though and I like it. I also like Vampire Diaries. The only show though that I watch without fail is Survivor. The rest if I see them, ok, if I don't, that's ok too.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387389557243960084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-60369094014492695422011-10-06T15:01:13.232-03:002011-10-06T15:01:13.232-03:00While I enjoy a few shows there aren't too man...While I enjoy a few shows there aren't too many I will watch live. If it wasn't for my husband turning the TV on I might never watch it other than for news. I dislike commercials more because of the volume increase than the fact they are, well, annoying. <br /><br />Mad Men is one show I never miss. I am way behind on the rest of them. But thanks to DVDs I can watch them whenever I want to.Leslie (Under My Apple Tree)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17822229389189435951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-89906348434559239052011-10-06T12:01:58.264-03:002011-10-06T12:01:58.264-03:00As i said to the Nomad Reader 5 minutes ago, this ...As i said to the Nomad Reader 5 minutes ago, this seems to be the week for Book Bloggers to talk about television :)<br /><br />Regarding House, after last season's final, I'm torn about continuing to watch it.

The guy would probably prefer more expensive stuff, but I think it is a waste of money, so he suffers through just a few channels. :)<br /><br />**STACI: As I sit here replying to comments, the TV is not on either. If I am home by myself it is very rarely on except sometimes for background noise. We watch most of our shows after the fact for the exact same reason. I hate commercials!<br /><br />**JENNERS: The guy thinks Zooey's character is cute, so he is sticking by watching for the moment. I liked the first episode better than the second, though, and we still haven't found time to watch the 3rd. I am all ready falling hopelessly behind on the new shows. It's really too bad about UP ALL NIGHT. It should be a really funny show if it was done right...<br /><br />**UNRULY READER: I know! COMMUNITY is lots of fun! I am looking forward to watching the second season. I have never actually watched it whenever it airs on TV. I don't even know when it is on. oops!<br /><br />**JAMIE: ah, yes, MERLIN. The show I started watching and then suddenly it vanished and I guess is now playing on a different channel. I got hopelessly behind in the meantime. I have been eyeing the first season every time I have seen it at the store lately because I really would like to catch-up... One of these days I also should watch DOCTOR WHO.Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-54242570210749206952011-10-06T06:40:43.354-03:002011-10-06T06:40:43.354-03:00**Anna: They have been playing a lot of commercial...**Anna: They have been playing a lot of commercials for WHITNEY, so I have heard all about it. Glad to hear it is good.<br /><br />**Sarah: I am really looking forward to finding the time to resume watching GAME OF THRONES!<br /><br />**L: Wow, that's a lot of television. The guy doesn't watch anything religiously. He just tends to turn the TV on and watch whatever looks interesting. If he is home; the TV is on. I saw a commercial last night for PRIME SUSPECT. It was the first I heard of it because the guy asked me who the lead character was because she looked familiar. I keep meaning to watch CASTLE and get around to watching DOCTOR WHO with some regularity. One of these days!<br /><br />**Peppermint Ph.D.: Yes, it is not historical at all. I am sure we will watch the rest at some point. It is just not a priority at the moment. I have only ever seen a couple episodes of TRUE BLOOD here and there, but I have heard good things about it. <br /><br />**FantasyLass: Yay for fellow HOUSE fans! Watching TV is a way for us to spend time together. It is even better when we are both into the same shows. I used to watch CSI back a few years, but I lost interest after a while.<br /><br />**Cat: You know, I thought I had heard the Playboy show was cancelled, but I couldn't be sure at the time. <br /><br />I saw a commercial for REVENGE the other night. It does look interesting. <br /><br />I really have to find time to watch the second episode of PAN AM.<br /><br />I happened to catch a commercial last night when the guy was channel surfing to say you can in fact watch SECRET CIRCLE on Muchmusic on Friday's. So, a day later. I didn't even know it was based on books until someone told me on Twitter. I missed in the beginning of the first episode where it said that. It's too bad they changed a lot, but I wouldn't know the difference at this point.<br /><br />**animewookie: It seems that way! lol<br /><br />**Marg: Yes, the shows are just starting and I am missing them regularly all ready. We have GAME OF THRONES to watch, but just haven't found the time to get through it.<br /><br />I know. I need to get back to DOWNTON. It was enjoying it, but I guess life got in the way.<br /><br />I saw you say somewhere you were watching THE DRESDEN FILES. I was curious when that show aired, but then it didn't do very well...Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-29475054506838180382011-10-06T03:39:27.387-03:002011-10-06T03:39:27.387-03:00I'm looking forward to Once Upon a Time.
