Description

Heh. I have an absolute *stack* of unwatched TV, and yes, it is daunting, to the point that basically, I'd rather rewatch an odd episode here and there of something I've already watched, than crack open the start of five seasons worth of something else. Starting a totally new show feels like a serious time commitment, whilst rewatching something old is a way to pass a spare 40 minutes. And mostly all I have is the odd spare hour here and there that needs filling up.
