Summer TV 2010

Summer TV time is here and we're already in full viewing mode. We took a little viewing side trip last Saturday when Natasha came over and we watched 11 straight episodes of Bones (which was not on our viewing schedule, but we're always willing to watch some Bones). We'll be taking a few more side trips to Bones until we finish season 4 with Natasha. This summer will be a mixture of old favorites with at least one new series to add to our list, we'll also have to watch some regular tv since the networks have begun to use split schedules. So we have to also make time to keep up with Leverage and Burn Notice. I really need the summers off, don't really have time for work. So here's our viewing list for the summer:

BattleStar Galactica (4 seasons) - The one with Edward James Olmos. This is our new show to watch this summer. I never watched the original series from 78, looked way to cheesy. This one I like alot. We're already thru season one and have started two. I didn't realize that God and religion (a blend of Mormonism, a Roman mythology and even a little Buddhism) were going to play such a big roll in the series. Makes for an interesting show.

Angel (5 seasons) - Buffys darker and more existential spinoff. Since we watched all 7 seasons of Buffy again last summer we'll watch Angel this time. What I'm hoping for someday is that they'll put out a box set of Buffy and Angel together where they start alternating episodes in season four of Buffy and the first season of Angel. That's the way the show should actually be watched but I don't want to have to swap out dvd's after each episode.

Veronica Mars (3 seasons) - This has become one of our annual summer shows. It has a lot in common with Buffy without the super powers and supernatural aspect of the show. By the time summer rolls around we're always ready to revisit these characters.

Thats 12 seasons of tv squeezed a few months, not bad. After that not sure what we'll watch or if we'll have time (before school starts or the grandbaby comes). If we do have time we'll probably watch Firefly again. Watching BSG makes us miss the show.
