As the year 2014 is in its final count down, meaning hours and minutes rather than months and days, at least where I sit in Sarasota, FL, I am going to describe my activities over the last month. I’ve become a couch potato, virtually glued to my sofa and/or my TV watching chair. Some might call it watching TV, some might call it binge-watching television. Others might call it full immersion or ‘get a life’.
This month, I’ve basically watched just two TV series, with a few exceptions for Homeland and The Newsroom What I most watched were two series, both of which are rated at or near the top of any lists of the best of television ever. One series, HBO’s The Wire, ran for five seasons, from 2002 to 2008. There were sixty episodes. I had not seen even one episode prior to December 2014.
The other series is The Good Wife on CBS. This is an ongoing series, currently in its sixth season. The series usually presented twenty-two episodes, each running about 42 to 43 minutes, per season. Multiplied over five full seasons and the partial current season, that still adds up to a lot of time spent looking at a TV.
