This is a strange year in TV for me

[ionaonie]

I have, over the years, dumped TV shows. Obviously. Otherwise I'd be watching practically every scripted show on TV. However, I've never been so tempted to dump so many in one year.

Over the years, shows I've actively dumped have been CSI, CSI:NY, Hawaii Five-0 and Criminal Minds (but I seem to have returned for the far less awful 8th season. Huh

I've dumped a few shows over the past couple of years, not to mention that it has been almost as long since I actually picked up a new show. I think that TV over the past couple of seasons has really sucked - there has been nothing that has really interested me, not from previews or the writings of my f-list.

I must admit, I'm intrigued as to your reasons for dropping the CSIs...

I haven't picked up many shows over the last few years, either. Certainly not a lot on the US networks. So much of it is the same tired, cliche bullshit that is so predictable it's not even funny anymore and so badly written it's depressing.

I'm enjoying Arrow but am well aware of its shortcomings and weaknesses and I really hope they don't go down the cliched and obvious route with some of their storylines.

Elementary is another show I've been enjoying this year. I love what they are doing with Sherlock and Joan.

There are a few others that I'm watching that I enjoy but they aren't particularly good.

But all my favourite shows are at least 3 seasons long, and, generally, on US cable (Nikita and The good Wife are the exceptions
