What I'm Watching

So I have a TV blog, but I haven't really discussed the shows that I watch on a regular basis. To fix that, I am going to run down through the shows that I watch with a couple of comments about the show and why I like it thrown in for good measure. Now onwards to the shows.

First off is Castle. Castle is about a mystery writer and a NYPD detective teaming up to solve crimes, usually murders. I like it because of the great ensemble of characters and the lead actor, Nathan Fillion, is one of my all time favorite actors. Castle airs Monday nights on ABC.

Then we have How I Met Your Mother. This show is a hilarious sitcom about a man telling his kids the story of how he met their mother. Again, I like the show because of the characters. Also, I like the show's commitment to their jokes as certain ones recur throughout the series. How I Met Your Mother airs Mondays on CBS.

Next up is The Event. The Event is a new show that is a true successor to Lost. I like it because is uses some of the same storytelling techniques that were employed well on Lost. So if you are looking for a show that is driven by story as well as characters this is one to check out. The Event airs Mondays on NBC, but it is currently on break until February.

Skipping Tuesday and Wednesday (I already mentioned the shows that I watch on those nights in previous posts), we have 30 Rock. 30 Rock is a sitcom that takes place at the NBC Studios in the Rockefeller building in New York. It focuses on the people running a fictional variety show called TGS. As with most shows, I like this one because of the characters. Also, the absence of a laugh track is definite win. 30 Rock airs Thursdays on NBC.

Moving on to Friday, there is only one show that I consistently watch then and that is Smallville. Now in its tenth and final season, Smallville focuses on the life of a pre-Superman Clark Kent. I like the show because they have managed to pay homage to Superman's storied past and make him more relatable to modern audiences. Smallville airs Fridays on the CW.

That concludes this look at my TV watching habits. There were a few shows that I decided not to mention (mostly cable shows, but there were some broadcast shows that were mentioned in previous posts that I decided not to bring up again), but I hope that this gave you a better insight into the kind of TV viewer I am.
