2012 Television Goals~

[muir_wolf]

Okay, these are the shows I'm going to (try) to watch this year:

- Sanctuary
- Leverage
- Downton Abbey
- Justified
- Mad Men
- The Good Wife
- Friday Night Lights
- Cougar Town
- Game of Thrones
- Generation Kill
- Sherlock Holmes (the old school one)
- Luther
- Plus I really really want to watch Midsomer Murders from beginning to current, in order. But that's more casual viewing, tbh.


a) Other than watching Sanctuary first, I don't have really any specific order to watch them in,
b) Are any of you planning on watching any of these this year? Because while watching them together might not always work, watching them at the same time means we could talk about them!,
c) Am I missing anything?,
d) I'm never going to be able to watch all of these this year, but OH WELL.

Sanctuary is totally a top priority.

I also need to watch Downton Abbey, Cougar Town, Game of Thrones and Luther from that list.

And like 4 billion other things. Seriously. My list of stuff I want to watch is so insanely long. I'd be able to get through it all faster if I had Netflix or something, but I do not, so it's all downloads for me.

Wow, all of Midsomer Murders?

That's a lot. I think I've only seen the Orlando Bloom episode from beginning to end.

Have you ever watched Spooks/MI5? I love that one and it ended, too. :(

I love Leverage. It has two of my favorite people from previous shows: Gina Bellman, Christian Kane. More importantly, it's fun.

Downtown Abbey...I am probably the only one with no plans to see the second one. I watched all of the first series and was left with...meh. I liked the update of Upstairs, Downstairs better.

The Good Wife...I love The Good Wife and I just started watching it this fall when I ditched Desperate Housewives.

Luther is AWESOME and I also recommend Case Histories with Jason Isaacs.

Missing anything?

Well, I love Portlandia, Syfy is going to be showing Merlin finally and Lost Girl and there's Smash, Jason Issacs' new show sounds interesting, 30 Rock is coming back, Sherlock, the new JJ Abrams Alcatraz show and Syfy has to show the new Eddie Izzard Treasure Island eventually...

Oh, and Boardwalk Empire. Have you ever seen Bored to Death?

&Midsomer Murders;;;;

I love Leverage, Justified, Luther, and Friday Night Lights AND GAME OF THRONES so I highly recommend all of those. I'm never going to watch Mad Men because I gave it three episodes before ragequitting because every character is such a miserable pile of awful. The Good Wife and Cougar Town are on my to-see-eventually-but-no-big-rush list. Generation Kill I'll prob skip BUT IF YOU WANT SOMEONE TO WATCH JEREMY BRETT!SHERLOCK WITH I AM ALL OVER IT. Oh my god, favorite of all Holmesian incarnations. Forever faaaaavorite.

Have you seen The Wire? I know I need to see it eventually but it seems too intense for my unwinding time. Which is currently full of the asshole humor of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

I need to go back and watch the first half of the first season of Cougar Town before season 3 starts in March. In fact, I'll probably start from the beginning and watch the whole series to current before the new season starts.

I've heard lots of good things about Empire Boardwalk, but I haven't gotten around to seeing any of it.

Basically I love the idea of a Television Goals~ list so much I might steal it from you!

(Which Sherlock Holmes series?)

Generation Kill needs to be on my list, so if you want a watching buddy...and oh gosh, FNL is SO GOOD. I hate football (I might not even feel that strongly about football), but that series is 100% quality and also has my favorite TV marriage ever, sorry Zoe & Wash.
