What I'm Watching, What I'm Waiting For

I don't watch a lot of television, and when I do, I'm usually a number of seasons behind (and, yeah, I re-watch shows once a series has wrapped).

These days, I'm watching The Vampire Diaries and Ringer, both of which I'm enjoying tremendously. I'm rewatching Lost, and I'm waiting for Mad Men (soon!). I've given up on the Real Housewives of Whoville, as I just can't take it anymore (the season's over, but I won't be going back).

We're behind on Vampire Diaries (didn't realize the season had started until several episodes in, and still haven't caught up), but with Ringer, we watch it right after it airs. And I'm loving it. But it worries me, too….

I'm a huge Sarah Michelle Geller fan and was so, so excited when she got a new show…and the truth is that I'm really enjoying Ringer. But at the same time, I'm worried.

Worried that it's going to have what I call the Heroes or Twin Peaks complex: Once they get past The Big Reveal, the show loses steam.

I'm hoping that doesn't happen, so far there have been some twists and turns I wasn't expecting. But there are also some Going Off the Rails signs, including the fact that no one asks follow-up questions. Minor spoiler here, but there was one episode wherein Andrew referenced an earlier conversation with her to Bridget. But did Bridget say, "Uh, dude, we didn't have a convo?" No, she did not…..

Not quite TSTL, but there are just a few too many of those moments starting to crop up. It worries me. Not enough to stop anxiously tuning in, but it worries me.

How about you? Do you watch Ringer? What's your current favorite show? And if you're a re-watcher, what blast from the past are you enjoying?
