TV again


  I decided after this mornings TV post to see what new TV is coming up this year. Luckily a local paper had a list online of new stuff. However looking through this I really don't see anything that interesting and one thing we've actually already seen since it was shown on Canadian TV last year. Oh and don't forget the 13 new reality TV shows I deliberately left off for obvious reasons. I think when you look at this list you start to realise my wife and I will be just watching stuff we already do and rewatching other stuff we have on disc. I'm hoping that the amazon prime streaming comes up with some other new stuff eventually so we can continue to use that.

  To be honest being on the sofa watching TV is something I really enjoy doing with my wife. That lazing around together taking in whatever you are watching with the odd interaction between us as we watch is something I could do every day. It allows us to just be us together and the outside world to be ignored.

  Anyway on to the list of stuff. Kind of weak don't you think?
