I forgot to mention that before I started watching Doctor Who, I finally gave in and watched Glee. Season One was available for streaming on Netflix, so one Saturday I decided to watch the first episode just to see what all the fuss was over. Sunday evening, I finished Season One, paid for streaming the first few Season Two eps at Amazon.com, then discovered Hulu Prime and sprang for it. Got caught up over the next week and have been watching each new episode on Hulu on Wednesday morning. I even, heaven help me, bought the Glee Encore! dvd. And watched it immediately upon its arrival.
In the course of a month, I've gone from having no shows I watch regularly (Lost and Ugly Betty were my two must-sees and they both ended last year) to having two (Glee and Doctor Who), most likely three (because I've seen a few eps of White Collar and like what I've seen), and possibly four if I can get caught up with Fringe over the summer. It's a mixed blessing, let me tell you! I always like not being tied to a tv schedule. But when I get hooked on a show, I am definitely hooked. Since we don't have a DVR (and I'm not even sure I could hook up the VCR anymore, plus I'm not buying tapes), I could easily be tied to the tv schedule. Thank goodness for the Internet! It's definitely made watching current tv shows a whole lot easier.
In fact, not being tied to the tv schedule is how I could tell that, while I like Supernatural, I was never hooked on it. This season, I even kept forgetting it was on. Then again, I'm one of the six or so people that actually liked Season One best. I know it was monster-of-the-week, but in a cool way, like Kolchak.
