2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH - Page 4

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

I can't remember each episode that I watch, but I can lay out a list of current on the air shows that I watch.

Chuck, The Big Bang Theory, House, How I met your Mother, Gary Unmarried, Family Guy, South Park, The Mentalist, Phych

I also always try to be watching a TV show series on Hulu. Right now I'm watching The Tick.

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

Like Kenneth, I also enjoy reading other people's lists, as I like to get a feel of other people's daily TV habits, especially those who keep up with a lot of shows. At times, I had crazy stats like "Most number of 1-hour episodes watched overall".

Plus it is fun making a list of episodes watched, and see how much of my time is wasted on watching TV.

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

You and me both, although for me, I get entertained pretty easily, and I'm a lousy critic.

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

This is the first time I have listed the dvds I watch. It will be interesting to see what shows I watch compared the other's tastes. I did not watch any dvds last night as I had a plumbing emergency. Water started backing up in the kitchen sink. My apartment maintenance dept came over and ran a snake down the pipes. Took about 2 hours to loosen up the clog. It was in the main pipe so it could have been from the upstair apartment. What fun

16. Dark Shadows: Episode 192 (21 Mar 1967)

My tally.

Once this week is over, I hope to be able to pick up the pace again. I've also been going through the 1940-42 Three Stooges Collection, but, of course, I can't count those here.
Scott, I was just thinking the same thing. After the Laura Collins story finished, Dark Shadows was never quite so original again. The Phoenix was a true sui generis creation. After Barnabas arrived, the show made a turn into traditional horror, with all its rules and expectations. Eventually, I think those rules straitjacketed the show's writers.

It was an impressive production for daytime television, what with all the in-studio fires and superimposed video fire effects. Certainly the most complicated episode they had attempted up to that time.

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

why not count the Three Stooges? All their shorts were rebroadcast on tv.

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

I have been watching the final season of Babylon 5 this week. However I am finding this season to be pretty weak so far. I loved the first 4 seasons. It just seems to me almost all the storylines were resolved at the end of Season 4. So I am finding it tuff to get into this season. So much so that i decided to take a break midway through watching the season here. Something i rarely do, I like to finish a season before starting another. But i needed a break for something more fun.

So break out Charlie's Angels Season 3. One of my unwatched sets i have stacked up. Probably another 15 or so to get to. Watching the 2 part season premiere Angels in Vegas was good fun. An interesting bit at the conclusion of part 2, Robert Urich made a cameo appearance as Dan Tanna. Now i crave Vega$ on DVD even more than i allready do. It is also time for Sony to announce Season 4 of the Angels. Don't you think ?

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

Tim,

Excellent points. I love the Barnabas episodes, but I think your 'straightjacketed' comment is spot on. And I believe that Sproat, Swift, et al. might agree with this to a degree. Of course, for my own part it's relative. In other words, I would rather watch even the worst of Dark Shadows than (e.g.) the best of a lesser series.

I have mentioned before that I am really into kinescopes. Sometimes, I will pop in a VHS tape of a kinescoped episode because the ambience of the episode on tape is much richer (read: authentic in an Ebert 'timelessness'-like way and far more creepier) than is a crystallized, cleaned-up version that has been made for DVD.

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

I agree! Count the Stooges in your lists! I was planning on doing that when I start watching them.

By the way....Volume 5 comes out March 17th

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree with Season 5 being inferior to the two previous ones especially (Seasons 3 and 4 are absolutely brilliant IMHO) and it took me ages to get through it, but the payoff in the series finale is worth it.
Here's a spoilerless explanation from the show's IMDb trivia page as to why Season 4 wraps things up neatly and Season 5 feels a little contrived:


I hope you get back into BABYLON 5 soon enough to see the brilliant series finale and share your thoughts on it with the rest of us. Since you seem to enjoy sci-fi, have you by any chance done FARSCAPE? I'm almost midway through Season 1 and loving it!

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

Thanks for the info on B5. Now I am very interested in watching the final 12 episodes i have left in S5, so i can see that finale. I wasn't abandoning it just felt i needed something else to watch for abit. I will see if i can finish B5 over the weekend and let you know what i thought of the finale.

As for Farscape, A big yes i watched the entire run a few years back. It was fantastic, your in for a real treat as with B5 S1, I think Farscape while good in S1 starts off slow and really gets going in S2. I look forward to going through Farscape again one day. I loved it!

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

I watched only 3 dvds tonight
1. The Munsters season 1- "Knock Wood, Here Comes Charlie"
2. Relic Hunter, season 2- "Roman Holiday"
3. The Dick Van Dyke Show, season 1- "Buddy, Can You Spare a Job"

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

That's what I thought too, but they were on TV. It's a tough choice. I don't think I will count them in this list either.

3. The Flying Nun, season 1- "It's an Ill Wind"

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

What I do is just pick a show and watch a season of it. I'm watching Gunsmoke and Cheyenne right now. Which is rare for me to have 2 seasons going at once

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

I actually have a "To Watch" list, which I started when I realized watching several shows at the same time wasn't working for me, because anytime I had the opportunity to spend a little time in front of a DVD, I'd waste half an hour making up my mind on what to watch, and finding what was the last episode I saw of each show. Now, I only watch one show at a time, and my list should take me at least to April, with an average of three TV seasons per month. I'm currently watching FARSCAPE Season 1 and have MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE Season 1 scheduled next.

Having this list is as far as this goes though, I do not have special moments of the week devoted to watching DVDs, I do it when I have the time to.

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

I just watch what catches my fancy that evening. I may change that some time though.

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

I used to do the same thing! What I did was made a list of shows by year. Right now I'm in 1955 with Gunsmoke Season 1 and Cheyenne Season 1. Next is 1956 with Hitchcock Presents Season 2. I just started doing this rotation in December, so far it seems to be ok. I'm going to mix in Star Trek and Doctor Who periodically too because those franchises are long.

Well, I have gotten back into Babylon 5. My third viewing of some seasons, but my 2nd viewing from starting at the beginning and going through in order. Wonderful Series, and highly recommended. Also, I have just finished the 10th episode of Surface and I was on the edge of my seat, what a fun show. Now sure how it ends before it was canceled, but right now I think the show is very entertaining.

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

It's a combination of both for me. I've had less time lately to watch television or TV-on-DVD (but I'll add those to the master list when I do) and most of my returning favorites are all back this month (with the exception of one: "Doctor Who"; whenever Sci-Fi airs the "David Tennant" specials).

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

I never usually have time to watch TV regularly, what with university, working and studying, so will either watch a show on dvd or one I downloaded, especially as in UK and most shows I watch are American. I will however try and watch Casualty every Saturday night. If only they didnt change the time every week

Re: 2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

I used to watch Doctor Who, CSI, CSI Miami, CSI New York, Lost, 24 and Family Guy EVERY week. That was on top of watching DVDs. Now I only watch 24 and DVDs. Why watch the shows when they are on? They will be on DVD in a few months anyway...
