BBC is all I watch

My reasons for watching tv on a typical basis are not very valid. It's usually a way to evade doing my homework. And evade I do. I don't get a great deal of enjoyment out of the shows that I watch daily, unless it's Friends. Community is one of the only shows that I look forward to watching on a typical weeknight. The only shows that I get truly excited about are made in England. Doctor Who, Sherlock, and Top Gear.

I was that one person in America who was writhing in pain at the fact that Sherlock wasn't winning any Emmys a week ago, when in fact, it deserved to completely demolish every other show in every category. I often forget that it isn't known very well amongst the masses in America, so no one else in the media seemed to be upset at the injustice Sherlock was served. I guess I should be happy that it was even nominated, but that just isn't enough. That is the show that I can rewatch thousands of times and still be completely engrossed in and notice something new each time. I have watched the Reichenbach Fall no less than ten times trying to decipher just exactly how Sherlock did it, and actually managed to figure out one detail of the mystifying stunt. Steven Moffat, the co-creator, has become one of my idols. His brilliance carries over into another show that I quite enjoy watching on TV: Doctor Who. He manages to write brilliant story lines for two completely different shows, that are equally fantastic. I can't resist watching a full on Doctor Who marathon if BBC America is offering it to me. It will eat up an entire Saturday of mine. 

On the subject of shows that I hate: Elementary. Within seconds of watching it, I was already picking out flaws and comparing it to the BBC brilliance. For example: he wasn't  snarky enough, witty enough, and John Watson was a woman. Just, why? Why would you do that? However, I know that I will inevitably end up watching it to fill the void that Sherlock has left until 2013 when season three comes out. I will grin and bear it just to get my Sherlock fill.
