March 18 The Television Season Is Coming To A CloseThis television season has been one of the least watchable seasons ever. Yet I find myself watching more this year than most. Now we're into the final stretch and it couldn't be more welcome. I'm still finding my schedule crowded, although it's a little more manageable. My most crowded night is Tuesdays with at least four shows I want to watch. But I'll take them in order. Mondays I'm watching, or at least taping, Heroes followed by Chuck. Neither has been very interesting, although I find Chuck a little more interesting. It's about the only hour-long comedy on TV this year. However, there's rumour that both shows will not be renewed and the ratings support that. Tuesdays I've been dealing with NCIS, The Mentalist, Fringe, Homeland Security and now Reaper. Homeland Security has been dropped by the network in favour of Dancing With The Stars. There's about five episodes unaired and I suspect they could re-appear during the summer. And since I've been able to catch The Mentalist on Sundays on a Canadian channel and Fringe is currently on hiatus, it's not too bad right now. With Knight Rider gone, the only show I'm watching on Wednesday is Life on Mars. But that has been cancelled and has only a couple more episodes to air. After that I won't have anything that night. Thursday is the second most crowded night, mainly because Bones and Smallville are on at the same time. I'm also sticking with Supernatural, mainly because there's only seven episodes left. Both Supernatural and Smallville have been renewed, although I've practically lost interest in both shows so I'll have to wait until I see what's on in the fall before I decide to continue with then. I'm only bothering to watch out the season in case I do. This friday will air the last Battlestar Galactica. After that I won't really have anything to watch that night. And with the exception of The Mentalist, there's nothing on network TV of interest to me all weekend. So for at least the next six weeks I'll have a fairly active TV schedule, although half those shows are not likely to be back next year. Which is fine, because I'm running out of space on videotapes with movies and specials I've taped but have yet to watch. That I expect I will be doing during the summer. |
