In no particular order, these are the television shows I’m watching this season.
Once Upon a Time is my new LOST. I’m obsessed with it and every week it makes me cry. The thing that attracts me is the theme of hope and desolation. People are lost and need to find their way home. I identify with that greatly.
The comedy in Portlandia is not for everyone, but I find it HILARIOUS. Basically, it’s a show making fun of pretentious hipsters and how ridiculous they can be. With characters named Bryce Shivers, how could you not love it? Put a bird on it!
New Girl makes me laugh out loud. I did not expect this to happen. There are debates as to whether Zooey Deschanel is setting back feminism with her quirky, childlike womanhood, but I think she’s awesome.
I know watching Downton Abbey is the “cool” thing to do nowadays, but it’s actually a really, really good show. Worth the acclaim it’s receiving.
Today, the internet black-out day, someone on my twitter feed was engaging in the hashtag thing about fake wikipedia. Point is, one of his “hilarious” tweets was that “ABC just announced a seventh season of LOST for Fall 2012.” I seriously almost cried. That’s not even remotely funny.
