Of Mice and Men

Well, I've been doing this for three months now.  For the most part I've enjoyed every minute of it; that is until I got sick.  Ever since then doing this has seemed more like work and less like a fun little thing to do.  The main cause of this I believe to be the fact that my TiVo is constantly full; to the point that most nights I have to rush home and watch stuff just to make enough room to record new show that night.  Now this has been a long time coming between a decrease in the amount of free time I have, the amount of time it takes to actually write this, and the increase in time it takes to watch a show while taking notes; it feels like for every two steps forward I take I am also taking two steps back, and that is starting to burn me out.  So, getting sick was less the causation and more the final straw but it has lead me to make some temporary changes to the format around here.

So for the time being it's going to work like this:

1. Anything I am up to date on or only a few episodes behind on I will keep writing about as I watch it. (E.g. Amazing Race, Survivor, Raising Hope, Biggest Loser, New Girl)
2. Anything new that starts and I watch I will stay on top of. (E.g. Mad Men, Community)
3. Everything else I am going to try and watch as quickly as I can, and as soon as I am caught up to current I will then start writing about them again.(E.g. Justified-8 episodes behind, Alcatraz-12 episodes behind, The Office-8 episodes behind)   I still have left in my notes some show that were about Valentines Day, April Fool's Day is Sunday.  It was never my intention to talk about shows that were months and months old,  If that were the case I might as well be writing about Freaks & Geeks, and The Wire.
3a. If while watching one of these shows I am behind on. I find something that I want to talk about, I'm going to talk about it.
3b. If there is a show that someone asks me to keep writing about, even though I am so far behind, I will keep writing about it.  So if there is anything you want to still see my opinion on leave me a comment and let me know.

I think that covers all the changes.  Things should start back up tomorrow with looks at two week old amazing race and survivor, as I try to get caught up to current.  If you have any thoughts, or questions leave a comment let me know.
