TV Junkie: A History – Part 2

TV Season Diary

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 Community).
Also a lot more current shows have added the ranks as well as older stuff I’ve only just discovered.

This new list contains 86 more shows and brings the total up to 333.

And on the very bottom are shows that started just this year and have not yet filled the “one season” quota.

She’s the glitch in the matrix. The fly in the ointment. The butterfly that causes the storm. Shortly after her arrival, the perfect balance of the good place is shattered and weird things start to happen. And the only way to stop it is for Eleanor to actually become a good person.
