Writing and TV shows

[liamstliam]

OK, so I am writing.

This is a combination of several things. I am out of work on short-term disability because of pneumonia, which I am recovering from, and congestive heart failure, which I am trying to shake.

As much as I would like to do some part-time work for the paper I work for, I can't do that.

What I can do is watch a lot of TV shows on the Internet, and I can write about those.

I grew up watching TV, but I have not had typical cable TV for the last eight years. I continued to pay attention to some things, but didn't watch a lot of others.

Over the last year or so, maybe a little longer, I have discovered streaming shows on the Internet (yes, I am a Luddite), and there are others like West Wing I have watched on DVD.

Anyway, I love sharing ideas, so here are some thoughts on some of the shows I have been watching.

A caveat: Some spoilers are definitely going to slide into these summaries, so be forewarned about that. There will not be a lot, and some of these shows have been around more than a decade, so I would expect you know some things.

Since Facebook and Google+ are not the best platforms for this, I am going to post here.

Look for the first installment later tonight.
