Short attention span AKA What do you do when your shows go on hiatus!

[katikat]

I have a really short attention span. I'm always on the look-out for something new and exciting, especially where TV shows are concerned. I know that a lot of my friends spend the hiatus missing their shows but I'm mostly... "Out of sight, out of mind" kind of a girl. Oh, I am still looking forward to my shows and once they are back, I'll bounce and squee again, but in the meantime, I'm trying to find something new to watch. I admire people who can stay faithful to a show even years after it ends - *smooshes sharona1x2 and her GW obsession* - but that's just not me. Like, I still love SGA but the longer it's gone, the less interest I have in reading SGA fanfiction. One day soon, I'll stop reading it altogether. The same thing happened to me with The Sentinel. Oh well...

So, what about you and the evil hiatus, my dear flisters? Do you pine after one particular show or do you try to find greener pastures for the time being?

I keep a hand repertoire of things so I never can get bored. I also have shows that are on opposing seasons.

Yes, there are some new shows that I want to try this summer: The Gates, Scoundrels or Cover Affairs. I hope that at least one of them will become a permanent fixture for me :)

I'm using the summer months to watch a few other shows. I just started watching Being Human this past weekend. I'm hoping to catch up so when season 3 starts, I can download it as it airs. I'm also planning to try watching season 1 of 24, to see Misha Collins.

One of my favorite TV shows is The Closer. Its new season starts in July. I like that it airs new episodes when most other shows are in reruns.

I'm really only in one fandom, as you mentioned. I'll read fic for Fullmetal Alchemist if someone on my flist posts it, but I don't look for other fic these days (and I rarely read fic based on live action shows). I'm trying to save some of my limited reading time for books I recently bought.

I want to try the new USA show Covert Affairs this summer. It looks like a lot of fun. I'm mostly curious about how they'll handle the fact that one of the main characters, a CIA agent, should be blind. Also, Sendhil Ramamurthy joined the cast.

I'm using the time to get my bigbang fic in order! Also this summer has the world cup, so I doubt I'll be bored :D

I'm more of a hockey girl :P But you remind me, I need to polish my WhiCo big bang fic *groans* I hate editing. I never like what I've written :/

I spent a lot of this season just recording series I was kinda interested in, so now that the must-sees are done, I'll be delving into those. I may take another spin through Supernatural 5, too. Ah, decisions, decisions...

I bought several shows on DVD in the last couple of months - all of Babylon 5, Starsky and Hutch, The X Files, SG-1 but also Fringe S1 and Smallville S1+2, Leverage S2 - and I want to watch at least something over the summer... Hehe, we will see how successful I will be :P
