    "Criminals are a superstitious cowardly lot," Batman. Batman has always had a wide variety of weapons in his war on crime. Sure he's a scientist but he also uses psychology, mythic symbolism, and a certain theatricality. Why should he be above magic and mysticism if the mission calls for it? As Adam Drew posted -- "Right tool for the right job." #batmanthebraveandthebold

    I remember watching the pilot for Fringe and not being really intrigued passed that, going as far as dismissing it as an X-Files for people not old enough to remember X-Files.

    BUT... I've heard nothing but good from lots of people since then and really should rent the first season and play catch up. And I was already spoiled on the season 1 finale and that got me really intrigued to go watch it. It's on my Netflix queue. #television

    Dollhouse. The first 5/6 episodes last season were horrendous and I stopped watching. Season 2 rolled around, and I'm still missing it since I don't want to buy the season 1 DVD yet, and Hulu took most of season 1 down before I could give it another go, and now it's canceled. That and I still can't get the bad taste of the first few eps out of my mouth. Yuck!

    Besides Dollhouse, I've been an on-again/off-again viewer of Venture Bros., and I won't get into the current season until I watch (and make sense of) the entire preceding series. Unlike Dollhouse, it won't get canceled but it'll take 2 years for another season to roll out.

    @RexMaximus: When you do get the Dollhouse DVD (or if you can get an episode some other way [en.wikipedia.org] ), start with the 'Unaired Original Pilot' (on the 4th disc as an extra [en.wikipedia.org] ), it will make then trawling through the (very) broken first five tolerable (try playing spot-the-scene, as the 'Pilot' gets chopped up and dropped, piece by piece, into the first five, it'll help to distract you), 'til Whedon starts to get a grip on it (and Fox's 'network's notes') in 'Man on the Street'.
    It actually manifests some drive and pace and you get enough of a hint of how it might have played out to keep you going until runs up to the unaired 13th episode 'Epitaph One' (also on the 4th disc as an extra).

    It looks like there may be more of the good stuff coming up.
    Glau's character's physical appearance [io9.com] gives a big hint as to where it might be going at the end and the recent viral [io9.com] (warning! contains my ludicrously speculative and possibly spoilery comment) hints as to the bigger backstory that's leading there.
    With all but 2 of the remaining 9 already filmed [io9.com] , it'll be up to Whedon to pull out the stops for the finale.

    To miss-quote the Dushku "If you've already failed, for fuck's sake fail big!". #television

    Fringe! I watched the entire first season and this one... until the baseball hiatus. And I haven't watched an episode since it's been back.

    I think it's only one or two episodes to catch up on.

    And I stopped DVRing FlashForward two weeks ago. I don't want to find myself five seasons in with no more answers than I have today. THOUGH, I accidentally stumbled upon a huge spoiler online. #television

    Of course, it's their own damn fault. The first season was the second best adaptation of Watchmen I've ever seen (first is the Incredibles, and yes I'm being contrarian here), and then they literally lost the plot. #television

    Well, I know which days the ones I watch are on (plus/minus half a day). They just appear on the intertubes every morning, and well, assuming you don't have lunch at home during the week but you do on weekends, you can still watch 5 during week nights and 4 during the weekend. With all the ones that don't show every now and then you can still keep up with 10-12 shows without watching a single minute during the time you'd be, well, out having a life.

    (That's if you are with him on the not having a life/hobbies) thing. If you are with him on the TiVo thing, well, I wouldn't know, since we don't have those in my country, but sounds similar to bittorrent, minus the carrying the shows to the TV) #television

    No entry for Dr. Who?

    That's the only genre show I think I'd probably like but haven't ever bothered to actually watch.

    Four of the shows on the list are ones I watch regularly, and the other entries are shows I have absolutely no regret about skipping.

    @matthewabel: I remember when they used to show the old Tom Baker ones on PBS. I didn't realize that they were showing all the episodes of each story arc in a row, so I would tape them only one half hour, thinking that the the next week would follow from there, but it would be a whole new story. Very confusing.

    But rest assured that when they finally have shows you can download directly into your eyeballs or whatever will replace TV, the Doctor will be on. #television

    I don't feel guilty about missing this season of Ventures, I feel p*ssed, because I can't get it in Canada, and my main internet access is through work, so I can't exactly download it there. But I said Fringe, because I tried really, *really* hard to get into it, and putting it up against the Thursday NBC stuff just sealed the deal against it. #television

    I wish I could say I felt guilty about Dollhouse because I liked Buffy and Firefly makes me cream my jeans, but Dollhouse just makes me feel indifferent. I jumped on during the second season and I just don't give a shit about anyone because they don't seem to be going anywhere.

    My Dollhouse summary: doll is put out with a client, shit hits fan, computer geek and handler do shit to wipe her brain, doll is stuck back in dollhouse. Yawn, change channel.

    Right now, I'm watching V, SG:U, Fringe, FlashForward, Star Wars, and occasionally I'll catch Batman or Venture Bros. Chuck is funny, but I want to start from Season 1 and I can't find bootlegs and I don't want to start in the middle of Season 2 and blah blah blah excuses for piracy.

    And where do I go to watch Star Wars online? I've been trying the official site, but they're stuck on episode 4 while Cartoon Network plays the rest of the season. I don't have cable anymore, so Hulu and bootleg sites are my primary TV suppliers.

    TL;DR VERSION: I watch shows I like and ignore the ones I don't. I voted for Chuck.
