Have a great day all.

Here is my posting for the 1st week. I have to admit, I'm struggling with wanting to continue with this. It seems like a lot of effort to log the shows with no reward. We're not really chatting about each others viewing habits or commenting much on what others are watching. I was hoping you all could provide some reasons to convince me to continue with this.

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

Brian,

Yeah, me too. I decided I could not devote the time to it, as other projects are very time-consuming. But I applaud those who can keep this up for an entire year. I think I enjoy reading the thread more than I do posting in it regularly. Sorry that that was not much help in trying to convince you to continue.

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

7 Jan 2009
15. Dark Shadows: Episode 191 (20 Mar 1967) And the Laura Collins storyline comes to a fiery climax.

My tally.

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

It is alot of work, but you get to see what other people are watching and their opinions. You might find some shows you would like to watch, while helping others decide on shows too!

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

I guess this has always been a problem with TV threads like this .. not enough feedback or discussion (unlike in the movie thread). But there's not always all that much to say or add. I agree with Kenneth V - I enjoy reading what others are watching regularly, even if I may not comment on their views. So Brian, don't give up --- I am particularly interested in your case in seeing which episode you find less than "Good" or "Very Good"!

If someone has something to comment on, I'm sure they will. But I like the idea that, at least by everyone coming here every day to post "new", at least it keeps the thread afloat on the first page and it doesn't get buried.

Speaking for myself, I even enjoy just logging my own shows here for my own benefit so I can refer back to it in the future and see what I've watched, and when. Maybe I can even try and beat my record each year and inspire myself to get more things watched.

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

To log or not to log, that is the question?

I keep a spiral notebook of watched shows. I have so many that to not keep track gets frustrating trying to figure out what I've seen on a disc. Especially when a show has been left off in the middle of the season, for whatever reason, of which there are many.

I also have a little sheet that I keep with each set that helps track where it was left off. Of course, I still have to remember to note what is watched, usually with just the episode number. Here is what it looks like.

So, log or not, enjoy your TV watching.

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

I do the same thing! I did the challenge the last 2 years and found that doing by seasons was a little harder than episodes. Last year I made a goal to watch 730 episodes. That comes out to 2 episodes per day. I ended up over my goal with a total of 866 episodes watched! That's why I found this thread so appealing, it's by episodes watched!

I agree that it's a ton of work, but worth it to see what people are watching. I think there needs to be more discussions about shows though, that's what will keep this thread alive.

Happy viewing!

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

Tim,

That's a wonderful story line. I just finished episodes #51, #52, and #53. These are the episodes including the scene where Bill Malloy has been found dead and following. Talk about a great mystery.

There is one line spoken by Matthew Morgan to Elizabeth Stoddard that has piqued my curiosity for many years. In this line, the murderer of Bill Malloy is revealed several episodes (weeks?) in advance of when viewers generally find out who did it. Maybe we can discuss it one day.

In the Laura Collins fiery climax episode, the books I have on the series say that that was quite a complicated shot (requiring more than the normal amount of cameras) for the time (1967). I think the Phoenix story line is one of the very best, and doesn't get the credit it deserves.

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

OK, so I watched three more FARSCAPE episodes last night...and they were brilliant! I'm slowly but surely becoming addicted to this show.

Regarding this thread, it's the first year that I participate in this kind of log, and I have to say I'm enjoying it so far. I think it works better that way for me than the yearly challenge thing would have, because knowing perfectly well I would never be able to watch every single TV DVD in my collection in one year, I always refused to get into it. This I think, is more playful in a way, it doesn't have the "let's see who can watch more stuff in a year" competitive aspect about it, and it also tells us about each other's watching habits. For instance, I have noticed that quite a few people juggle several shows at a time, while others like myself or Aryn Leroux prefer to do one show at a time before moving on to another. It's really a great read, and I'll probably be both glad and horrified by the end of the year to see how much time I have spent in front of my TV in 2009.

I have elected not to give ratings though. I have a tendency to be too generous with shows I like and find positive aspects in even the poorest episodes, so I'm pretty sure rating them would be pretty pointless for me.
