Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The Americans, Survivor, The Grinder, Daredevil, Good Wife, Arrow, Flash, Beter Call Saul, Brooklyn 99, Silicon Valley (coming back soon), Agents of Shield, @Midnight--and we're behind on everything.

Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl have their moments, but I'm getting tired of just how stupid the protagonists are required to behave in order to advance the plot (see also, Daredevil). S.H.I.E.L.D. has suddenly regained my interest as it begins to tie into Civil War, although Ward is still the most boring villain ever.

I know that Publick and Hammer tried shaking things up this season on the Venture Bros., but it just seemed like more of the same, especially compared to Rick and Morty, which is fresh and imaginative.

Really liking Adventure Time. Still my favorite show. The upcoming Voltron reboot has piqued my interest, because it's being made by Joaquim dos Santos, who directed the good JLU and Korra episodes.

Elementary remains solid entertainment. There's not much else right now that I'm interested in.

In conclusion, yay BASEBALL!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

If we can catch up on iZombie over the summer, that'll be cool, but we just don't have time right now. And I really liked it last season, so it suck to not watch it right now.

I still need to get my brother's Netflix password so we can watch Jessica Jones. (When I went to Colorado, we used my Hulu account to catch up on stuff he had missed, and I know he's still using it, so he owes me Netflix.)

I'm procrastinating on taking a walk (which is silly because it's 70 and sunny), so I'm saying it here for accountability: I AM GOING TO TAKE A WALK RIGHT NOW. (Or after I get my shoes on. Which will happen after I close the laptop.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I just downloaded the most recent ep of People vs. OJ Simpson. Have you been reading the interviews with Marcia Clark in Vulture? Fascinating stuff.

I know that Publick and Hammer tried shaking things up this season on the Venture Bros., but it just seemed like more of the same, especially compared to Rick and Morty, which is fresh and imaginative.

I do feel like this last season was kind of a return to form. Everything was sharp and looked cool. But as you note, it's not nearly as surprising/fresh as Rick and Morty or the comparable Archer (which itself isn't quite as much fun as it used to be.)

I keep meaning to watch Steven Universe on Hulu, but like I said, we can't even keep up with what we're watching now.

You gotta! Also, it comes in nice digestible 11 minute chunks. It's so funny - when it first started I felt a mild disappointment that it was as densely built out as Adventure Time or Gravity Falls. And it turns out to be incredibly rich in its own mythology and backstory and range. It just takes a little time to get going, but it builds out such a great supporting cast too.

Plus great songs, great humor, characters you root for, fist-pumping moments of Awesome and gorgeous visual appeal.

Reality Shows: Matilda has gone from Project Runway to The Voice. Hmph. Not my favorite kind of singing.

Shows I Didn't Watch But Want To Get To: Hannibal, Kimmy Schmidt, Agent Carter (all of which JZ has watched)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I dropped Sleepy Hollow last year when they whitewashed the cast and pushed romance forward of the plot. They may have backtracked on that, but working partnership friends or comrades is so much more interesting to me than another fricken romance.

We're watching Peggy Carter every time it airs, Arrow (and Blue Bloods, 'cause David Ramsey), Flash, and Criminal Minds. Loving The Magicians. I'd watch it twice a week if they could film that fast. Agents of Shield, Elementary, and Grimm, in spite of ourselves. Grantchester, we're about to start S2 of Daredevil. H loves NCIS--I tell him between that and Criminal Minds (and the original CSI with Wm. Petersen), he just likes crimesolving by old white guys. He doesn't argue with that.

Shows I'd pay money for new episodes of? Almost Human, Firefly.

Yes on what Scola just said. I think this summer will be a lot of library DVD use.
