The Hierarchy of Obsessiveness
The following post was originally published on my old blog on February 4, 2009. Updates to this post are noted below.
Under some pretense of being an organized person (ha!), I keep a very meticulous list of the episodes I have yet to see for all the shows I follow. And I’ve noticed definite trends regarding my level of addiction to certain shows—or the lack thereof—as shown in the following categories. (I should point out that this is nowhere near a comprehensive list!)
Must-See TV I want to see it, and I want to see it now.
- Battlestar Galactica
- Lost
- 30 Rock
- Grey’s Anatomy
- Chuck
Will-See TV I love it, but I might be a few episodes behind.
- 24
- Heroes (Update: Lo, how the mighty Heroes has fallen.)
- Mad Men
- Damages
- Californication
Might-See TV I’ve liked what I’ve seen, but I have a serious backlog.
- Pushing Daisies
- Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
- True Blood (Update: The more I watch this, the more I love it.)
Should-See TV I know, I know, I have to watch it. So you keep telling me!
- The Wire
- Friends
- Friday Night Lights
- The Office (Update: I got caught up in April, and this is must-see TV now.)
Won’t-See TV No, thank you.
- CSI
- NCIS
- Law & Order
- American Idol
