On Shows That Survived (and Didn't) the 2011-2012 TV Season

Somehow, I survived the first full TV season (fall, winter and spring) since I launched this blog.

I have since picked up and chucked some TV series titles since the cycle started last September, but still ended up with a relatively long list.  If only being a couch potato is an actual employment option and pays copious amounts of money... I wish *sigh*.

Admittedly, there are still a few titles I have yet to finish watching, but most of them were set aside so I can have something to watch along with the usual slim pickings of the summer TV season.

So, listed below is how my 2011-2012 TV season ended.  Yes, I posted this later in the month than I originally planned, which was very neglectful of me.

Since many of the networks have come up with their fall lineup already, I'll post a tentative 2012 fall TV series schedule sometime later in the week.  I'll try to include some of the new TV series picked up by the networks that I found interesting.

Happy viewing!!
