Breaking Up is Hard to Do

Something remarkable happened over the past nine months. I went an entire television season without wanting to break up with any of my shows.

This might not sound that remarkable, but I have managed to shed at least one show each of the past few years. Over time, I have found myself incapable of sitting through most one-hour dramas. That meant shows like “Desperate Housewives” and “Grey’s Anatomy” slid off my radar the past few seasons.

I tried to focus most of my entertainment energy on sitcoms. Thankfully, the networks have responded by cranking out more and more funny shows. That, of course, led to another dilemma. Will I have time for all these shows in my life?
