TV Tuesday: Discussion: How I Manage My TV Shows During the School Year

Let me tell you right off the bat. It's HARD. I'm behind on probably at least half of the shows I watch, so I'm definitely not an expert on this. Granted, there are different reasons for my lack of motivation to catch up, as well as time constraints. But will all the fall shows coming back, I wanted to discuss this topic. How can you manage to watch so many shows if you're busy with school and can't take the time to watch it when it airs?

The first part is keeping track of the shows you watch, the days they're on, and the episodes you've missed. For example, I know that I'm currently caught up on NCIS, NCIS:LA, and Elementary. I also know that I haven't watched anything past and including the Rings of Akhaten (Doctor Who), that I have about 6 episodes of Psych to catch up on, and that I have roughly 5 episodes of Graceland to catch up on. I also know that I'm a few episodes behind on Covert Affairs, that I'm behind by one and a half seasons of Suits, a season behind on White Collar, and about 7 seasons behind on Supernatural. And that's just the start of my list. Now, I generally try to update my Tumblr TV shows page, so I use that to keep a general idea of where I am in a TV show.

TV Tuesday: NCIS:LA Season 5 Premiere Review

Firstly, Happy October!!!

I know the title's a bit misleading, but I don't actually have the review written yet. Stay tuned. In the mean time, here's my official rating of the episode.

I originally wanted to give it a 4.5, but I'll get into that soon I hope.

(On a side note, I hope to review a music album this week. And definitely TV shows.)

TV Tuesday: Top Ten Reasons You Should Be Excited for the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who

TOP TEN Reasons Why You Should Be Excited for the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who

1. David Tennant, Billie Piper, and probably a whole slew of other people we aren't aware of yet are going to be in the episode! What's not to love?

2. Remember the opening credits to Journey's End and how awesome that was? Yeah, we'll probably get that again.

3. It's only a few months away!!!

4. TEN AND ROSE AND ELEVEN AND CLARA

Just imagine the awesome-ness for a moment...Yup.

5. The poster is such a tease!

(From Bad Wolf to John Hurt's Doctor)

6. Aren't you always excited for new Who?

(Okay, maybe not, but still!)

7. We just want to know who's been lying to us about not being in the episode.

8. Even though it means we only have one more episode with Matt, we still want to see this because at least we still have some time.

9. Ahhh, just imagine the internet (or just Tumblr) exploding. All the Whovians that haven't left yet will (most likely) be bursting. New gifs to make, new posts, new jokes, new discussion topics, new "MOFFAT" posts, new rants, new graphics, new EVERYTHING. (Also one episode closer to 12!)

10. IT'S THE FRICKING 50th, OF COURSE YOU'RE EXCITED 

(Come on, 50 years of a TV show?!)

TV Tuesday: Graceland Fan!Mix

This week, I present a Graceland Fan!Mix for Charlie/Mike! Sorry if you don't ship them, but there's some awesome music if I do say so myself. :)

Top Ten: Crime Shows/Procedurals

(Note: I didn't link to any of these shows because I'm busy and on vacation. :D 

Also, I thought I watched a lot more crime shows than I apparently do...these are almost all of them...(I only included ones I've watched regularly, so shows like Criminal Minds aren't on here))

1. Psych
   Seriously, if you're not watching this show, you should be (even though their upcoming season may be the last *sobs*).
   
   Psych isn't like most crime shows. It's almost always hilarious, but don't think that that doesn't mean that it'll also cause ALL THE FEELS because it (most likely) will.
2. NCIS:LA
   Sadly, I do have to say that at the present moment, NCIS:LA is better than NCIS, although I love both equally.
   
   The show is pretty well done, and all the characters are unique and interesting. Why do I think it's better than the original show? Because this one's still fresh and new(ish), at least compared to NCIS. The obvious future relationships aren't being dragged out forever. They're still coming up with great new storylines and plot/character arcs.
3. Elementary
   Yes, I like Elementary. Yes, I also like Sherlock.
   
   What I love about Elementary is it's fresh take on Sherlock Holmes and Watson. Lucy Liu is FANTASTIC as Joan Watson, and Sherlock and Watson have so much chemistry...but not that kind of chemistry. I like how well done their (platonic) relationship is. Yes, there are some aspects that I'm not as eager on, it's just doing so many things right. There's an incredibly diverse cast (though I wouldn't complain if there were more females), and all of their casting has been perfect thus far.
   
   (Also, their opening title sequence is awesome, and the writers are hilarious (if you follow them on Twitter). And this almost beat out NCIS:LA to the #2 spot, but.)
