57 Channels and OMGWTF NOT ENOUGH TIME IN THE DAY

The "official" network tv season is over (they really have to let that concept go at this point). Breaking Bad's season only has two episodes left. Leverage is back soon, but not soon enough. Neither White Collar nor Mad Men come back til July. Dexter isn't back til September (graar), and the list goes on and on and on. Though there are a million shows I'm "watching," it ultimately comes down to only three or four hours of tv a week at any given time, and of course, that Will Not Do.

Earlier this year, I marathoned both seasons of Life. I just this past week watched both seasons of Leverage (June 20th can get here any time now, thanks). And last month, I watched all four seasons of Friday Night Lights in an astoundingly short period of time.

(I know! How could I not have been watching FNL from the very start? It's *brimming over* with stereotypical subjects that stereotypical elitist snobby Birkenstock-wearing cappuccino-sipping liberals socialists like me adore, such as high-school football, born-again Christians, and Texas!)

(Be aware that I will probably be pushing FNL on all of you in the near future.)

But, to the purpose of this post.

At some point in the past few weeks, I must have fallen into a television-show fugue state. How do I know this? I know this because I've set up a Season Pass for a potentially-awesome show called Persons Unknown (this trailer frightens me). It was created by Christopher McQuarrie--you know, the guy who won the Oscar for writing The Usual Suspects. It premieres Monday on NBC. Here's the thing. No matter what I do to jog my memory, I don't remember hearing anything about this show. Ever. I swear to you: I didn't know that Persons Unknown *existed* until I looked at my Season Pass list today and found it there. That's not weird or anything, right?

o.O

There are eleventy-billion other shows airing or about to air or just aired. Apparently Bradley Whitford is now shooting guns at people, and sporting a porn-stache? I'm not sure that I need to see that. Still, I no longer trust myself to know the truth. So naturally, I turn to all of you with a poll.

( What the hell should I watch? )
