Before I started movie blogging, I watched four TV shows religiously: “Lost,” “The Office,” “30 Rock,” and “SNL.” But I now feel an obligation to spend whatever free time I have watching movies – after all, I don’t write a TV blog.
This year, I have watched two episode of the final season of “Lost” and only caught clips of “SNL” on Hulu. Much to my chagrin, I haven’t watched a single episode of “30 Rock” or “The Office.” The sacrifices I make for you all.
Although it is worth noting that I have started watching occasional episodes of “Modern Family” on Hulu in recent weeks. Mainly because of this promo shown during the Oscars:
“Cloudy with a Chance of the Meatballs!”
“This means one word!”
“MEATBALLS!”


I’ve had the same problem, M. Because of the blog, I feel a “responsibility” to use Netflix solely for films even though there are so many TV shows I want to revisit or see for the first time. And I end up watching the Netflix sometimes when, quite honestly, there are shows on TV I want to watch … but because I’m too cheap to get DVR I have to record them on — brace yourself — a VCR. Sigh. Such are the perils of living in the digital age.
I still have my VCR tapes with TV shows recorded on them, but not having a DVR? To quote Up in the Air, “You’re a little young to become a dinosaur.”
