Playing TV Catch Up - Christmas Break Edition

Alright, so I may have gone MIA for almost a month, but now that finals are over and life is calming down a bit hopefully we can get this site up and running. My early New Years Resolution is to have everything on this site sorted out before shows start returning in January. We'll see how that goes...

In the meantime, I figured I'd write a post about what I'll be doing (television wise, of course) during this long winter break. Sure, there's basically nothing new left on TV; everything has either gone on break until January or spring or most cable series that started this fall have wrapped up their seasons.

But these long breaks are just perfect for catching up with those shows you've let slip by the wayside or ones that you've always wanted to watch but haven't gotten the chance to. So I thought this would be a great time to introduce a segment called "Playing Catch Up." We here at DVR Overload seem to do that a lot...

So, without further ado, here is a rundown of what my Christmas break will look like in terms of television, besides all the obvious Christmas specials and movies, of course!

Playing Minor Catch Up 

Second half of Mad Men season 3 (I enjoy this show more when I have several episodes to watch at a time, don't ask me why.)
Last few episodes of White Collar (Crazy ending. Will do a write up soon.)
Last two episodes of Dollhouse + the two that air tomorrow night (Done and Done. Ill have my review up by tomorrow.)
Second half of Parks and Recreation season 2
Stargate Universe (I'll put this under "Minor Catch Up" since it's really only about half a season; nothing I can't handle ;-)

Playing MAJOR Catch Up


Bones seasons 1-5 (current season) (Hoping to get through at least the entire first season during break)
True Blood seasons 1-2
Psych seasons 1-4 
Friday Night Lights seasons 1-4 (current season) (Also hoping to get through at least entire first season)
Skins seasons 2-3 

(And just in case anyones interested, those last two are for a deal I have with my brother. I watch seven seasons worth of his favorite shows and he watches season 2 of Chuck. Am I crazy? Sure. But don't test my love for television. Or my devotion for my favorite show...)

Playing Random Catch-up


How I Met Your Mother
Big Bang Theory
The Middle
Cougar Town
Men of a Certain Age
Family Guy
The Cleveland Show
Basically any other sitcom I might want to catch-up on.


Well, I think that's my list so far. I'll come back and update this list once I've finished catching-up on a show or if I remember one I may have forgotten.

Happy Viewing!
