I’m fairly picky about the television that I watch. I love TV (obviously), but I demand quality. Also, I hate procedurals. As a rule, I tend to avoid any show where someone turns up dead in the first five minutes. I am in the vast minority here, I suppose, if those pesky ratings are to be believed. Oh well.
