Which TV shows did you let go of in 2011?

Chuck, Castle, Community, Criminal Minds, Glee, House (I was waiting for Olivia Wilde to return, but when she did I didn't like it anymore).

Which TV shows did you mean to get into but didn't in 2011? Why?

Breaking Bad, The X-FIles, I just didn't have time to start properly.

Which TV shows do you intend on checking out in 2012?

Those ones up there! House of Lies for the Cheadle & Bell. Touch for Kiefer's voice.

Which TV show impressed you least in 2011?

All the ones I dropped (yes, even Chuck & Community). Doctor Who, I don't like Eleven, I don't like Amy most of the time, bring on Twelve. I want to stop watching, but it's Who, so I stick with it. I like Terra Nova, and Falling Skies, but they could have been better.

Which TV show do you think you might let go of in 2012 unless things significantly improve?

Gossip Girl, and by improve I mean, less Chuck (and Chuck/Blair) and much more Dan.

Which TV shows do you think you'll never let go of no matter how crappy they get? Why?

Blue Bloods, as long as they don't kill off Donnie, I'm there. But if they persist in making Jamie the Reagan with the only major storyline in every bloody season, we're going to have to have serious words.

Aw, you watched Jericho? Did you like it? How about Misfits?

Yay for The Hunger Games!

[sellthelie]

I've only watched the first four or so episodes, but I like it! I have no idea why I didn't watch it then. Going to watch more when I'm done with my January catch ups.

I like Misfits, but I don't love it. I've saved all of this seasons, and I'll get to them soon.

It's going to be good! :)

Jericho was good, if not really accurate :) I feel like it was a very PG interpretation of the post-apocalyptic world, but I still really liked it. Mimi was of course my favorite :)

If it helps, I didn't really like Misfits until season 2. Season 1 was entertaining but I didn't really care about it until the 2nd season. Though, I will warn that the consent issues just get worse as the series continues. (For instance, rape is sometimes treated as a joke/insignificant.)

I had to Google her, I like her so far! It is definitely PG, I'm enjoying it. I really like Heather, the teacher.

I watched the first two seasons earlier this year, I liked it enough, but it wasn't a show I loved. That's one of the things I don't like with Alesha's original power, taking away free will like that, choice, having complete disregard like that. She got better with it I think, but in the beginning it was terrible. I didn't like that at all.

I LOVED Heather. And Jake/Heather :) I also liked Stanley's sister, though I'm blanking on her name right now. And Jake + Stanley were cool.

Ugh, that power...I HATED that power. It was just so awful and it killed me that the writers couldn't come up with something less disgusting. Her season 3 power is better but kinda random.

[sellthelie]

Jake/Heather is definitely where I am right now, I don't mind the other girl - the blonde, but it's not for me. The deaf sister? I like her so far. I really need to watch more. Once I'm done with Justified/Being Human/Pretty Little Liars.

I guess they were going for edgy. All the other powers were kind of PG, and done before, so they wanted something that hadn't been done. It wasn't a good one for me.

[justsay_goodbye]

And I thought I'd picked up a lot of shows! I think you've beaten me.

[sellthelie]

It was bad! I think 2012 will be better, I can't think of new shows to watch that much right now. :)

[justsay_goodbye]

It wasn't bad it was awesome :D I've picked up a couple of shows this week (that I've had on the list for ages) and still have a load of stuff I want to pick up. I should make a list of this...
