THE NEW NORMAL
...will be renewed when Ryan Murphy promises to turn the show into a multi-cam laffer.
What I Will Watch
Television series are basically the same episode over and over again. Their redeeming value is their consistency which comforts or numbs the mind.
I don't need comfort in the Spring or the Summer. I need it in the cold, bitter Winter.
That is why I have stopped watching TV shows, as of March 1. I will marathon them in November through January. Whatever I can't watch in a day will carry over to next year.

What I Intended to Watch
Oh welllll.
I stopped watching Mindy, Ben & Kate, Key & Peele, The League, American Horror Story, Boardwalk Empire, House of Lies, Shameless, Wilfred, Up All Night, Dallas, and Community.
BrandX expanded to an hour. The Inbetweeners and Apartment 23 got axed. IFC pretty much runs mainstream movies now. Futurama won't be back until Summer.
