Mid-Season Weeding...

Every new TV season there are way to many possibly good shows on to keep up with.  We find ourselves recording or watching some of these shows online.  Finally a ways into the quagmire we start eliminating the not-so-good ones.

Some don't last for a second viewing.  Many leave us pondering & we give them a four or five episodes to prove themselves.  Some do, some don't.  Some we decide to give the whole season & see if we any kind of yearning to see the show again when the new season returns (Nikita failed).  Others we know we're hooked on.  Then there are the old stand-bys that start to falter & sometimes fall to the wayside.

We have offed the one-shots already.  Now we are into mid-season cutting.  Project Runway: Accessory may find itself on this list soon.  For now it's Once Upon A Time.  Maybe it'll be something we want to watch in summer reruns, but not now.  This isn't a death sentence.  I didn't start watching Law & Order (any of them) until the original show had been on the air for nearly a decade & now I love the show.

Some of my stand-bys have been somewhat disappointing this season.  House hasn't wowed me.  Bones went to the place no show should ever go, the romance between the two main characters.  Fringe is being well fringe-ish. 

There are some new shows that I am liking.  I love last season's intro of Body of Proof.  I really like Person on Interest & so far I'm sort of into Grimm, but mainly for the Wolf.   

Let the weeding begin.  Let's thin out this crop.
