TV shows I have broken up with this year

I'm usually a very faithful watcher when it comes to my television shows. I don't miss episodes. I fully commit. However, there are a few shows that I have slacked on watching. Shows that I would think I would normally be very into.

One of those shows I watched all last season, Fringe. I'm a huge JJ Abrams fan, so of course I gave this show a chance. I does have that nice mix of mythology that I tend to love in my shows. But maybe the problem for me was that there wasn't enough. This show isn't like Lost which equally mixes character development with the mythology. I think for Fringe I got a little bogged down by the case of the week. I'm not a big CSI/Law and Order fan, so maybe that turned me a way for a bit.

Another show that I have not watched lately is Flashforward. This show was marketed at the NEXT LOST. There were pretty big expectations. And while the first episode was a great start, the plot sort of got bogged down with later episodes. It was the same thing every week and the characters were always discussing there flashforwards and whether or not they would come true. Again, I just seemed to get bored with the show.

I knew I wasn't keeping up with either of these shows when I had a backlog of about four episodes of each show that I never got around to watching. And while both shows are on a break right now, I still can't bring myself to get back into them. I can see myself maybe catching up on Fringe soon though. I really wanted to watch Flashforward to the point where the story caught up to the date of everyone's flashforward. But it doesn't look like that will happen either. We'll see.

Things in LA are going great. I got to sit in on the episode pitch to the network/studio for the show I am working on. It was for the last episode of the season and it was very cool to watch the show runners basically lay out what was happening in the episode. I'm just amazed by what I learn by just being able to sit back and observe.
