I was just thinking...I feel like we sort of have a new medium developing in the TV marathon. In recent years there have been a ton of shows that are just made to marathon...very serial things like Lost and Heroes. Not only do they need to be watched in order with the major plot points being remembered throughout in order for them to make any sense

yea wow that's a really good point. That's why a lot of my friends download Heroes and whatnot. It's really hard to catch every single ep. A lot of these shows also take a lot of brain power, whereas television used to be really easy to understand.

I miss my brainless sitcoms/dramas. [maybe that's why I still watch trashy things like Gossip Girl (: ]

Yeah exactly, you have to seriously concentrate on it and you have to have a good memory or you just don't get it at all! And for me it seems like if I let any time go by I completely lose interest. I still haven't seen the last few episodes of Lost because after a couple weeks went by it's like I just completely lost interest, now it just seems like such a chore because I'm not going to remember everything about wherever I left off.
