I don’t have television, so everything I watch is either a movie or found on Hulu. With the start of a new year comes a bunch of new seasons of my favorite shows. With limited time, I’ve already lost interest in some of them.
Take Once Upon a Time. It took me a little time to get into it, and now that other shows like The Bachelor are back on, I just don’t have time to keep up with it or Pretty Little Liars, another show I really liked for a time but have lost interest in.
So what do I watch? The Biggest Loser! I don’t know when I started watching “reality” TV, but I know Fearfactor was what started it. I’m also very addicted to House. I wish the girl from Joan of Arcadia had lasted a bit longer, but her character couldn’t have stood House for very long without compromising too much of her character, so I’ve accepted it. Sometimes I watch Parenthood, more because Lauren Grahm is in it than anything. Waiting to see if there’s another America’s Next Top Model because you already know I’m an addict. (Why oh WHY did Alison not win? *pouts*)
What do you watch? Do you have any shows you’re waiting for that haven’t aired yet? What about movies? Anyone else really excited for The Hunger Games? The trailer was good enough that I’ve actually gotten the book and started reading it because I’m determined to finish the book before the movie. Even though Ermisenda has already reviewed it, I’ll be throwing in my two cents as well.

I just discovered The Big Bang Theory and have been watching it non-stop. Great show. I also watch a lot of The Wonder Years on Netflix and Seinfeld via my DVR.
I used to watch Biggest Loser but it’s always the same to me.
I am excited about Hunger Games coming out but more excited about Riley Scott’s Prometheus.
RIDLEY, not Riley.
Oh I haven’t heard anything about a Prometheus movie coming out. I’ve seen some of The Big Bang Theory and really liked it. I just don’t get a chance to watch much since I haven’t found it on Hulu.
I’m a legends/history geek and right now The Immortals are being played at the movies and I so want to go and watch it! Also Merlin BBC series’s season 4 just ended but they promised a fifth season for this year! Can’t wait ^^
Oh! Castle is another one. I’m so angry they shot Becket at the end of the last season but it’s like nothing changed. Have you watched the BBC production of Sherlock? I think there was only three episodes in the first season, but they were two hours each and brilliant.
I am also a Merlin addict and am waiting for the next series to begin 🙂
The Hunger Games is the only film in 2012 I am really, really looking foward to. The only reason I will not be going to watch it is if I’m in hospital :]
(Also awaiting The Hobbit and Brave.)
I haven’t seen any trailers for the Hobbit yet and I think I’ve seen one episode of Merlin, but I’m super excited for Brave. That’s going to be epic. I hope I find someone to go with me, I hate going to the movies by myself.
I’m pretty curious about The Lorax. The trailer’s not super-inspiring, but It was my favorite Dr. Seuss and I loved Despicable Me.
Les Misérables is either going suck or be awesome. It’s on my must watch list.
Hmmmm haven’t seen any trailers for either of those, but I like the story-lines. Despicable Me was adorable! I haven’t been a fan of 3D movies in general, but that one was awesome.
I can not wait for the Hunger Games! The books are some brilliant, I think the film looks awesome too!
I’m loving the first book but I accidentally stumbled across a spoiler and I’m not sure how I’m going to feel about the end! I hope the movies don’t get ahead of the books.
Oof…I watch too much bad television. Though, I also love “House,” but don’t consider that bad t.v. at all. I love “America’s Next Top Model,” every show about losing weight on Mtv, “Top Chef,” and even the dreaded “Jersey Shore.” But my favorite show is “Fringe”–so under the radar, so good.
I prefer Hell’s Kitchen to Top Chef. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Fringe, what’s that one about?
Fringe is a sci-fi series created by J.J. Abrams (“Lost”) that follows a “Fringe Division” FBI team investigating unexplained, but connected, events. It’s a bit like the X-Files but about parallel universes and fringe science, rather than aliens. It’s really smart and the characters are incredibly well-crafted.
For some reason sci-fi and paraanormal aren’t usually my cup of tea. It took me a LONG time to get into Eureka or that one show with the artifacts… Warehouse 13. And yet, I love Fantasy. There need to be more fantasy shows on. I may start watching Fruits Basket again if I can make myself pay attention to one thing long enough to watch something with subtitles.
