  1. Oddly enough, I too have succumbed to television shows. I watched all of Dexter over the summer, a show i definitley recommend. The Wire is epic and be warned it will be hard to put down. Boardwalk Empire along with a few cable shows and sitcoms have taken a toll on my normal film watching too. Hopefully once the fall TV season passes I can get back to my normal routine.
