Emily Watches Too Much Television

My plan for this blog this summer was to recap the line-up of shows I planned on watching: Teen Wolf , Graceland , and Suits , with the possibility of maybe doing some retroactive recaps and/or discussion of TV shows I love that are currently on hiatus. As you can see, I've only written about Teen Wolf thus far. I had high hopes for Graceland , I really did. The cast is beautiful and talented, and I'm a sucker for crime procedurals too, so I figured this would be a match made in heaven. Unfortunately, that hasn't seemed to be the case. I watched the first two episodes when they aired, and I have been unable to force myself to watch the rest yet. The premise is neat enough to keep me interested, despite the promising premise-- a bunch of different special agents from various federal agencies living together and working undercover. The story lines are so unrealistic that it has been totally taking me out of the story, and I end up having more complaints about stupid detail...

So, I don't really know how this happened, but I have developed a pretty serious television addiction over the years. Believe it or not, there was a time when I didn't watch TV at all. Like, nothing. Television couldn't have bored me more back then. And then, sometime during my senior year of high school, I got grounded for being a stupid teenager for like, half the year and had nothing better to do than watch NCIS and CSI and whatever else my parents were watching because I wasn't allowed to do anything else. And that's how it all started. I picked up House, The Office, in addition to the other shows I started watching, and it all just sort of snowballed. Then, you know, some genius came up with Netflix instant queue and put just about every season of every show, ever, online to be watched whenever, and after that there was no turning back. Especially once I discovered all the people out there who are like me, who want to talk about their shows all. the. time. So...
