I Like to Watch

Pushy therapists, bickering models and corrupt cops may keep you riveted, but be honest: Has your favorite show outlived its premise?

    good......

    I was worried that I was never gonna relate to this column again. I don't watch most of the shows that HH mentions. I started watching 24 this year and its OK, but that's it. The plot device of a ticking digital clock has gone from being a trite contrivance to the entire show. Any show where all the action involves talking on cell phones or typing on computers has a limited amount of potential. That being said I still watch it.....So I actually wondered if the Shield was ever gonna come up. Right now, this show has my interest more than anything else on TV.

    I wonder if the whole "this season isn't as good as the last" thing would be there if there was no break between seasons. The break allows for heightened expectations and inflated memories.

    I am grateful for HH's column. She can make me read about shows I would never watch, which is pretty amazing, really
