Ah, ye of little faith.

seanan_mcguireSo I was asked today how I could possibly watch as much television as I claim, given how much I write. The implication was, of course, that I'm exercising hyperbole in my description of my television-viewing habits. So, in the interests of full disclosure, here are the shows that I currently watch:
* America's Next Top Model. Not only do I have no shame, I enjoy watching -- and mocking -- Tyra's slow descent into madness. I seriously think she's been eating lead paint for the last five years, or something. It's soothing reality madness. Kate and I get together once a week to mock it.
* Bones. Hot actors, snappy dialog, and dead stuff. Really, I am a simple creature, easily brought over to the cause of darkness by offers of dead stuff.
* Dexter. I loved the first two seasons, I loved the first two books. I hated the third book, so now I'm praying that the show's departure from the text continues in a big, big way. I want to stay in love with my show. I really, really do.
* Eureka. Mad science? I am so there.
* Fringe. I haven't actually seen the first episode yet -- that's happening tomorrow -- but I'm planning on watching at least the first month, just to figure out whether or not I want to make a commitment.
* Heroes. I'm still catching up on the end of season two, but I'm primed and ready for season three. No spoilers, please!
* NCIS. Nothing says 'love' like perky goth forensic technicians who can kill you and leave behind absolutely no evidence to indicate that they did it. I love this show. It has guns.
* Numb3rs. Math and hot mathematicians and more guns and it's basically just the happiest hour on television that doesn't feature dinosaurs.
* Primeval. The happiest hour on television that does feature dinosaurs.
* Supernatural. This show was actually designed especially for me. It's fantastic that they're somehow prying it out of my dreams and putting it on cable for everyone else to see, but really, they made this show just to make me happy. Which it does, reliably.
* True Blood. Only one episode so far, but man, am I digging what I'm getting. I hope it maintains or improves on this quality level; if it does, it's going to be just amazing.
Shows I love, and watch religiously, but which are neither currently on the air or starting a season in the next month: Doctor Who, Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures, The Middleman. Shows which I love, and watch religiously, but which are finishing their seasons: Monk, Psych. So yes, I watch a lot of television.
How about you?
