My TV Shows

First up: Shows I’m waiting for more episodes of. These are shows that are currently on the air and I’ve seen everything they’ve done to this point and am waiting for more. A * means I’m watching on hulu or netflix and therefore there are episodes I haven’t seen because they aren’t available to me yet. I did not count shows that are getting reboots, like 24 or the X-Files, as being currently on the air.
