TV Hiatuses

Its been weeks now since the last time I had a satisfying TV night. Technically, it is more appropriate to call it a Series Night since I'm not watching it on a television but thats not important. So, my Series Night would include dinner in front of new episodes of at least 2 shows. In some days (Monday US time, yehey) the series that I watched can reach up to 12. As far as my memory goes, the following shows, at some point aired on a Monday:

• Heroes
• Prison Break
• 24
  
• One Tree Hill
• How I Met Your Mother
  
• Stargate Atlantis
• Greek
• How I Met your Mother
• Gossip Girl
• Chuck
• Kyle XY
• Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles

Those are the glory days. Of course shows like Kyle XY, Stargate Atlantis and Prison Break have met their abrupt, in-a-way and planned ending respectively but most of these shows are still breathing. I remember getting excited to wake up on a Philippine Tuesday mid morning aka US primetime, set up my "stuff", go to school and come back to a 12x40++ mins of pure bliss.

But, like all things oil-consuming, it will need refueling, or in this case a hiatus. It does seem reasonable for good shows to take a breather, recharge and come back with a totally different kick. But it would be nice for good shows to be replaced by a show of equal or at most a level below the aforementioned. Ah, if only the perfect world exists...

Now, all I can do is wait. Having the patience to sit through hours of reruns and bad television until the infamous hiatus is over and that momentous occasion where all shows would eventually sprout, gradually filling my empty void and satisfying the dire need for a (TV) high...and yes I'm currently watching Weed.

PS: Weed is not that bad. Although the opening song is terrible and annoying.
