'Grey's' Isn't Going Anywhere

Do you have any TV New Year's Resolutions?

It's that time of year when I ask you what your resolutions are. Not your general resolutions, I mean your TV-related ones.Looking over last year's list, I actually did pretty well. I didn't watch American Idol, I gave Jimmy Fallon and Conan O'Brien a chance even though I wasn't sure if either of them would hold my interest (for the record, Fallon has and O'Brien hasn't), and I am trying to record more late night shows so I'm not up until 1:30 a.m. every single night. As for catching up on Fringe, well, that resolution I haven't kept.
Here are my resolutions for this year. What are yours?
- No more reality shows. 2009 was the year my senses officially became overloaded with reality shows. And I don't even watch many of them. But it's hard to get away from them when shows like Jon & Kate seep into other realms of pop culture (and your local news), so even though I don't watch too many of them I still feel like I know everything that's happening on the shows themselves. So this year I'm going for a zero tolerance rule: no reality shows at all.
- Finish buying season sets of favorite shows. This may seem like an odd resolution. Most people resolve to spend less and save more, but I have to spend more money on TV DVDs. I started buying The Office, The Bob Newhart Show, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show and a few others and then just stopped. I have to get all the sets ASAP.
- Organize those DVDs. Speaking of TV DVDs, I really have to organize the ones I have. I started out by having them all in a nice order on my shelves and now they're... well, they're just all over the place. On top of books, on my coffee table, under my coffee table, on the floor. Right now I'm looking at a Man From U.N.C.L.E. set that for some reason I have placed in the corner in front of the circuit breaker box.
- Watch CBS Sunday Morning more. I really like this show, but for some reason I always forget to watch it on Sunday mornings. Not really sure why that is.
- Catch up on Fringe. Hey, I can dream.
