Well, after pondering things for a little over a week (and taking all
your comments under advisement), I deleted several Season Passes from my TiVo boxes tonight. I said
last Tuesday that the following shows were all likely to be axed:
Without a Trace
Law & Order
Threshold
Cold Case
Nip/Tuck
And they have all, in fact, been deleted for good. But I didn't stop there. In addition, I also nixed the following:
The Simpsons
American Dad
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Invasion
Joey
I'm also surprisingly close to giving the boot to the original "
CSI," but I'm having trouble letting go. I suspect that this has something to do with the fact that the show takes place in the town where I live (even if it's actually filmed in California).
I don't have to worry about HBO's "
Extras" anymore, either, because its season is finished. I did, however, delete a couple of episodes that I hadn't gotten around to watching yet.
Of course, by early next year I won't be watching "
Arrested Development" anymore, either. Not really my choice, though.
With several fewer hours of TV to watch every week, I should find plenty of time to read a recently loaned copy of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's
Love in the Time of Cholera. It promises to be more intellectually stimulating than any of the shows I'm dropping, anyway. Especially "Joey."
Thanks to everyone who made suggestions.
