I really like serialized story-telling, and each year I look forward to the fall premieres the way some people look forward to fantasy baseball or football or hockey. I “draft” which shows I think will interest me, and I scout out most of the others. I even do reviews of the series premieres and try to predict which ones will get renewed and which ones will get cancelled. Here is a list of my musings by year for all things TV-related…
