Desperation

I am currently distraught that I no longer have anything to watch over a light lunch on Thursdays. Possibly my favourite TV programmes of recent times, Dexter, finished wonderfully last week. Now all I can do is hope and pray that a new series is planned for the strangely lovable and moralistic serial killer.

What will I watch? Desperate Housewives also finishes next week, only to return after a summer break. House won't last must longer - I'm already over halfway through a season that only has 16 episodes. I doubt Boston Legal has much longer to run either. Heroes may be the only TV programme left, since Pushing Daisies also concludes in a couple of weeks to make room for Euro 2008. Mad Men also reaches its conclusion next week, and it's such a shame. I hope another season is in the pipeline for this brilliant American drama.

Will I be left hanging for the summer months? Will I really have to endure an entire summer without any good TV? It doesn't look good. Luckily I have the farcical Lost (which I watch simply because it is completely stupid - everything that made the story even remotely believable has been thrown out of the window) and The West Wing (finally showing Season 5 on More4, which is great - I only started watching this amazing political drama in Season 6, so I am glad that every previous season has been shown in its entirety). But still, it's still quite shocking that I can hardly find anything good to watch anymore.
