Dexter has come to a close on Showtime. Breaking Bad is close to its final episode. In the current television landscape you no doubt will come across someone who loudly exclaims while covering their mouth with their hands after telling them you haven't seen their favorite TV show. Unless you are an unemployed mouth breather with government handouts at your whim, chances are you are working and being a productive member of society and thus, not able to take advantage of the plethora of ways to consume entertainment these days.
Currently in my physical possession, I have the first two seasons of The Wire and the first season of The Sopranos simply because I kept hearing they were/are the greatest shows to ever cross your RBG projectors. Yet, they remain unwatched and unsullied as does most of Breaking Bad or Dexter on Netflix. Someone reputable (I think it was from avclub.com for what it's worth) said that while a normal reviewer could easily catch top albums or movies upon their release, TV shows are not as easy as it requires the time commitment that is multiples to listening to a CD or watching a Blu-ray.
I feel bad knowing there is a hole in my pop-culture vernacular that is problem jammed with old Saved by the Bell and Full House repeats. Eventually, I will get on to finish the two seasons of Lost and the last season of Angel, and basically all of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. But there is only so much time in the day so it's a slow process.
What are you missing out on at the watercooler at the office?
