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 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.

Designated Survivor @ IMDb

Thomas Kirkman (Kiefer Sutherland, 24) is the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and about to be fired since the President has decided to go with someone else for his second term.

Kirkman is also the designated survivor for this year’s State of the Union. He’s kept safe in an undisclosed location while the President gives his speech.

Then the unthinkable happens. An explosion destroys the Capitol building and with it the President, Vice President, the Speaker of the House and most cabinet, house and senate members.

Fortunately, the unthinkable has been thought of. That’s why Kirkman was not in the Capitol. And now he’s sworn in as the next President of the United States.

The most urgent questions on everyone’s mind are “Who did this?” and “Is the pencil pusher Kirkman really able to lead this country in this time of crisis?”.
