TV Junkie: A History – Part 2

A bit over six years ago I wrote down of which TV shows I’ve seen more than one season, many of them more than half and often enough 90-100% of a show. Back then it added up to 247 shows. Now I’ve checked again and noticed that I’ve missed shows back then (e.g. Alias and…

TV Season 2010/2011 Diary #10

In the last few weeks I didn’t feel much like watching anything. But then the hill turned into a mountain. Luckily some of the series are pausing for some weeks and I decided to play catch up before I have to cross the Alps. Since this was a bigger marathon session I won’t talk about…

TV Season 2009/2010 Diary, CW 20-21

Deutsche Version | CW 20 (LOST Finale) | CW 13-22 Chuck 3×18 / 3×19 Chuck Versus the Subway / Chuck Versus the Ring: Part II Even though he’s listed as “confirmed casualty” on Ausiello’s season finale scorecard, I don’t really believe that we won’t see Stephen J. Bartowski again. I mean, c’mon. He gets shot…

TV Season 2009/2010 Diary, CW 07

Deutsche Version | CW 05-06 | CW 08-09 LOST 6×04 The Substitute This episode was much better. It didn’t give us many answers (if you consider the association of numbers and names an answer at all) but it’s a start and the off-island story was much more interesting (especially with seeing Katey Sagal again). It’s…

TV Season 2009/2010 Diary, CW 02-04

Deutsche Version | CW 01-02 | CW 04 Human Target 1×01 Pilot The pilot episode certainly looked interesting. The action was well balanced above realistic and below unrealistic. It looks like as if it’s going to be Die Hard or Lethal Weapon in a series format and I certainly will watch more episodes of it….

TV Shows – A Decade in Retrospect

Technological Overdose?

Deutsche Version Let me start this post with a constraint. This post is not about science-fiction shows or shows that portray obvious über-equipment (like K.I.T.T.). This is about shows that at least try to pretend to display “reality”. I am of course aware that there’s a thin line but I hope than I can show…

The Pilot Marathon Part 6

Deutsche Version | Part 5 | Part 7 Since I’ve purchased quite a number of new TV shows, I thought to resurrect this marathon. V (1983) What’s the show about? A group of underground rebels fights against an alien race who have invaded Earth without making it appear as such. The resistance cell is a…
