While helping my uncle at his company last night, I read online that Hawaii Five-0, Grimm, and Nikita are ALL competing against each other, now. This sucks ass! I don't watch nearly the amount of TV I used to watch, when I was a teenager during the 1990's.
Local networks, during the '90s weren't so fast to cancel a show, if it was slowly generating an audience. Over this last decade, Primetime shows have been canceled at the drop of hats.
After graduating from college 7 years ago, all my favorite Primetime shows such as Eve, Half & Half, All of Us, and The George Lopez Show were canceled. I watched the preceding shows consistently for years, when I was in college.
Before graduating, 3 of them were canceled. It really aggravated me when Eve, Half & Half, and All of Us were all UPN sitcoms, that ended with cliffhangers. Viewers like myself never had chances to learn if important couples either stayed together, or separated, or reunited.
Meanwhile, George Lopez's sitcom on ABC only lasted for at least 2 more years after I graduated from college.
Throughout 2007-2010, more of my Primetime shows were canceled on ALMOST every local network. It was to the extent, that I quit investing in most of Primetime because I was tired of investing in potentially good shows being canceled.
Then, Hawaii Five-0, The Secret Circle, Nikita, Ringer, and Grimm either returned to TV, or premiered in 2010. Suddenly, I began watching local Primetime again.
Between that 3-year period, I stopped watching most Primetime. As a replacement, I became more interested in watching Japanese Animation or Anime on cable and streaming it online.
In fact, I am willing to say I have watched a few hundred Anime. I binge watched TONS of them. I used to stream some Anime before going to work in the morning. I know, I'm a bit of a nerd in that aspect but oh well.
I am really far behind on streaming more recent Anime from both this year and last year. Lately, I have been more focused on job hunting, working, blogging, chatting with people on stalkbook, blogging and social networking sites, etc.
Anyway, Hawaii Five-0 should return to its Monday night time slot. That way, I can watch it right after Sleepy Hollow and Nikita should return to its 7pm time slot on Fridays. Then, I can watch Grimm afterward.
It really sucks when all my shows, that I regularly watch, are now competing against each other. Before anybody asks, no I don't have DVR or Tivo. Hell, I haven't even used my VCR in years.
This means I will have to stream 2 of these shows online. So, I have decided to watch Grimm on Friday nights at 8pm, since that was its original time slot. Nikita really should return to 7pm because those were my 2 Friday night shows.
Luckily, Nikita only has 6 more episodes as its FINAL season. I really hate choosing among 3 of my shows but that's the way it has to be, now that CBS and The CW decided to mess up my personal TV schedule.
This is normally what my Primetime TV schedule would look like throughout the week, including Sleepy Hollow more recently:
Monday:
8pm Sleepy Hollow
9pm Hawaii Five-0
Tuesday:
7pm The Bad Girls Club
8pm Find Me My Man
9pm MTV2's Guy Code------- Depending on the season
9pm MTV's Girl Code----------Depending on the season
Wednesday:
9pm The Real World-------Depending on the season
9pm The Challenge--------Depending on the season
Friday:
7pm Nikita
8pm Grimm
9pm AXS TV MMA Fights
So, what are your thoughts? Do you have your own personal TV schedule? Let me know what you think!
