It's going to be a long summer, nothing on TV - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Patty Duke · 05-07-2015, 02:55 PM

And I thought things were bad this past winter with only a couple of shows on.

I was looking at the DVR schedule, the only shows recording are 2 episodes of Adam-12 per day M-F and 1 episode of Match Game per day M-F.

We were talking about this at work last night, (group of Nurses and some male staff) about 15 of us in the cafeteria and they all agreed, this is worst it's ever been. Most of them have cut the cord because they are sick of it. I am so tempted to just go ahead and do it but since we couldn't even get one local channel it keeps me hanging in there.
We could settle and watch Reality and the sitcoms offered but we don't like them and no amount of boredom and desperation will change that.

Halt & Catch Fire on amc starts back at the end of May. Also Baby Daddy (abc family), Devious Maids (lifetime), Defiance (syfy), Rizzoli & Isles (tnt), True Detective (hbo), Rookie Blue (abc), Under the Dome (cbs), Falling Skies (tnt), and Teen Wolf (mtv) all start back in June. They're mostly dramas though but I'm looking forward to seeing them.

I'll 2nd the Under the Dome recommendation, easily summer's best show.

There's no such thing as "Nothing good to watch on TV tonight at my house!

Mr. Television · 05-07-2015, 08:07 PM

I don't know what's wrong with me. I can't even get excited about the shows I do watch. I have a lot of them backloaded on my DVR. It's May. Back in the old days I couldn't wait for the big May finales and now Mehh. I might just cut the cord with a bunch of them. As for summer, I've never really watched much tv during that time of year. This year will be no different.

Thanks to my TV on DVD collection, my viewing schedule is never boring but as far as regular TV the only show I watch in the summer is "Days of Our Lives"---I watch it daily.

Who wants to stay in and watch TV in the summer when you can be outside?

My husband has cancer, that tends to change the things you would normally do. We are sticking close to home because he is staying so tired from the radiation etc. Watching TV is something he can lay on the couch and do without much effort. Granted it's not real exciting but its reality sometimes.

Reality is NEVER exciting. That's why I swear all these so-called "reality" shows aren't real.

Rookie Blue comes back June 25 and I like that. Celebrity Family Feud is June 21 and I like regular Family Feud. Hollywood Game night is July 7 and I like that. Last Comic Standing is July 22 and I like that. Aquarius on May 28 looks good since I grew up in the 60's.

mets82 · 05-22-2015, 05:37 PM

Patty Duke, I'm sorry about your husband.

I dont know what I'll watch. I guess I'll be watching Antenna and ME-TV.

Edward216 · 05-23-2015, 02:33 AM

Oh I'm so sorry Patty Duke. Me and my big mouth sometimes! In that case I totally understand. Have you thought about subscribing to Netflix? A nephew of mine and his family have it and are really happy with it. And I don't think it costs that much a month.

I'm real sorry about your husband's cancer. I hope he's better soon.
