I hate to say it, but there's too much TV we really like to keep up. Not helped by business trips of one or another, we are simply way behind in shows we like.
And mid-season hiatuses don't help because they put in new shows for us to like.
On the other hand, it means we get a great night like tonight:
1. Catching up with "The Flash".
2. Watching an episode (though still behind, season-wise) of "The Musketeers".
3. Catching up with "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD".
I guess this is a good problem to have.

So, not finished with The Musketeers?
Nope. Three eps to go.
And X many of "Sleepy Hollow" and Y many of "Castle" and Z many of "Gotham" and Q many of "Constantine" and R many of "Mentalist" and …
One advantage to cutting the cord is you end up giving up some of the shows because Hulu+ doesn't have them. Missed the whole last season of The Mentalist. Have no idea what's going on on Person of Interest (both CBS shows, notice a trend there?) and haven't seen a Big Bang Theory in forever.
That said, Hulu+ does have both seasons of The Amazing World of Gumball which makes me laugh so much I've binging on it.
Agreed with Les. I'm actually behind on TV due to cord cutting and movies due to my little girl. But I really don't mind it. I'm doing OK not seeing that stuff.
I don't even watch that many shows anymore, but I still have trouble keeping up. I love Agents of SHIELD, but finding time to watch it with the husbandperson means we're perpetually behind. And we've missed a whole season of Orphan Black, too.
+Dave Hill wow, The Mentalist and Sleepy Hollow have been over for months.
The AOS!!!!
+Les Jenkins Well, yeah, I can quit any time …
This has been a remarkable season, and it's possible we'll simply quit some shows due to "too many better, too little time." "Mentalist" and "Castle" have fallen into that category this season, or are veering toward it.
And none of that counts (a) TV shows we have on disc to watch (S3 and S4 of "Korra," last season of "Big Bang Theory," "Broadchurch." Plus movies. Too many movies.
+Brittany Constable "Orphan Black" is one of those series I keep thinking I should try to get the family to try out, and then I look at the backlog and just laugh.
"Arrow" falls into that category, too.
+Stan Pedzick Yes. Yes, I know. "Musketeers," too, I think.
It's a great series, although it takes half a dozen episodes or so to get going. Not ideal when you have a backlog.
+Dave Hill Orphan Black – so damn good, great combo of mystery, silly, OH MY GOD creepy & and the best actress on TV right now.
+Stan Pedzick Yes, so I have heard.
Seasons 1 and 2 of Orphan Black on on Amazon Prime, plus the first 4 full episodes of Season 1 are on YouTube (legally, from BBC America).
