I don't own a television

I don't own a television

Let me clarify. I don't own a television like the next to last guy in this comic doesn't. This statement, however, is not very representative. Here are the TV shows I am currently, actively* watching, along with my progress through them, ordered by when I saw the most recently watched episode, approximately:

  • House (111/111)
  • Mad Men (9/32)
  • Monty Python's Flying Circus (6/45)
  • Weeds (34/63)
  • Dollhouse (2/14)
  • Dexter (14/37)
  • 30 Rock (6/58)
  • Heroes (60/61)
  • Arrested Development (48/53)
  • Firefly (1/14)

And here are the TV shows I would like to start watching in order from the first episode:

  • Recess (128)
  • Magic School Bus (52)
  • Malcolm in the Middle (151)

For those of you playing along at home, that means that I have 245 hours of television to watch, not counting commercials, before I am "caught up". This is 10.22 days of watching with no breaks. And in the time it will take me to catch up (more than 10 days, I assure you) even more episodes of the still active shows will air. (The math).

* For some definition of "actively"
