non reality
Saturday, November 22, 2008I don't watch much TV. Literally.
I download the shows and watch them on the laptop (or when I'm at work, on Hunter). There are those I've followed from the pilot and those who received my culling after a few episodes (i.e. Reaper, Chuck, Moonlight,etc). There are also those I've discovered after a season.
It sucks when a show gets axed, you know -- especially if it makes up my top 6 (there's an extra). It's even worse if the reason for its cancellation is because it's different and not very many people get it, especially if it's actually pretty good (ie Wonderfalls, Carnivale and now Pushing Daisies).
