WHAT HAPPENED IN JULY:
Caught up on Chuck, Fringe, Glee, Luther, The Office, Raising Hope, Running Wilde, and Skins. That just leaves Grey's (7 eps to go), Modern Family (8 eps to go), and V, which I'm probably moving to the back-burner because I don't need to "catch up" on it in time for fall premieres.
Life on Mars UK was over quick. Adored it, as I thought I would. That scene in the finale -- you know the one -- was impeccable: Simm, cinematography, Bowie, everything.
Terrific Unplanned July TV: Big Train, The Thick of It series 3 re-watch
Disappointing Unplanned July TV: Grandma's House
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN AUGUST:
So the plan for August is, while still clinging to comfort food television, Grey's and MF, to begin my TV 101 viewing. If I had a time machine I'd go back and tell my 14-year old self to WATCH MORE TELLY so I won't end up a 20-year old self-proclaimed TV enthusiast who hasn't seen Alias or Cracker. I'm a disaster.
Realistically, I won't get through full seasons of anything if I start too many at once. So I've decided on the first season of The Wire, which I hear is the toughest anyway. How Do You Want Me? and Father Ted are benchwarmers if I finish Grey's and MF soon, which is likely.
Of course, this is all going to shit once fall shows start premiering next month. Perfect.
Next Up: Ashes to Ashes, Daria, Lights Out (should really take a weekend and just bang this out...), The Street, State of Play
Next Next Up: Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Shield, Deadwood, Six Feet Under
TV Currently On-Air in August: Shooting Stars (Aug 8), Torchwood, The Hour, Breaking Bad, Childrens Hospital, Louie
