Dropping some TV Shows

They’re taking up too much of my time, so I’ve decided to drop some TV shows. On a normal Monday night I’m up til about 1am catching all of the shows that I watch. Monday is way too busy for TV.

So I’ve decided that I’m going to stop watching The Big Bang Theory. It’s fun, I like it, I just don’t think it’s worth my time anymore. I know the premise, I like the jokes, but they all seem rather repetitive. Star trek reference, physics quip, computer pun, rinse, repeat, end with nerdy guys not getting hot girls. I get enough of that myself, thank you very much. So I won’t be seeing season 3 of TBBT.

Veronica Mars

Just finished watching it. All three seasons. Great TV show, but with each season it got a little bit worse.

The first season had a very nice overall plot, wrapped up at the end with a nice slightly unexpected ending. The overall arc completed and it wrapped up in the first few episodes of the next season.

The second season was a bit worse. They threw a large event in at the very beginning. And then they didn’t touch it for a while. And then they brought it up again. And then it disappeared. They used it for a few random smaller arcs within the season and then in the end it was someone who wasn’t even remotely related at the beginning. Before the end he was mostly a minor character. Not the even close to the best season of a TV show I’ve seen.

Little Politics for You

In Canada the big thing right now is the Liberal, NDP and Bloc trying to overthrow the Conservatives and take power in the form of a coalition government.

I haven’t been following politics since the election so I have no idea if this is deserved but I’ve heard and seen things related to this issue specifically. Mostly the number of facebook groups that believe this is in some way ‘unconstitutional’ or illegal in some way.
