Take, for instance, Zooey Deschanel. While I recognize her adorability and appreciate her good set of bangs, I often find her ever-whimsical quirkiness nauseating (hi, have you seen \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbEjCvdGaZU\">this Siri commercial\u003c/a>?). So when \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em> premiered on Fox in September of 2011, I refused to tune in. Less persnickety friends of mine did. Soon I began to hear how truly hilarious the show was, how Zooey wasn’t as bad as you’d expect and how the ensemble cast was brilliant, energetic, chock full of well-timed one-liners, and always good for laugh. I couldn’t believe my ears! Armed with a Hulu Plus account and time to kill, I marathoned the first season and a half over a weekend. I was hooked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so I became a loyal \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em> fan, excitedly tuning in week after week to see what kind of shenanigans the gang would get up to next. I’d been so thrilled to have a show about post-college life for the modern early 30-something. A \u003cem>Friends\u003c/em> for today, if you will. But suddenly, and without warning, the show I grew to love took a turn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Things began to unravel during the show’s second season. At the finale of the first season, sexual tensions between roommates Jess and Nick were at an all time high. The will-they-won’t-they vibe gained serious momentum through the second season and then burst like a big sexy bubble.

But as season three trudges onward, it seems the too soon roommate romance may not be the only sign that the show’s once brilliant scripts are getting more difficult for writers to churn out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Last week, while watching episode 16, “Sister,” I had my “A-ha! This show is going downhill!” moment when I noticed the same obnoxious phrases used twice in one episode. Actually, it was twice in one interaction by two people. Cece and Coach both took a turn recalling something slightly zany that had occurred between them, then barked at one another, “Who \u003cem>does\u003c/em> that?!” It hit me all at once. My lip curled into a sneer; my inner laugh track subsided. It just seemed so boring and obvious, like I was overhearing the brunch conversation of a couple of airheads. I’d grown accustomed to \u003cem>New Girl’s\u003c/em> brand of witty back-and-forth and this dialogue just appeared jarringly lazy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Then, I noticed a few other frustrating details. Let’s take the character of Winston, for example. Played by Lamorne Morris, he began appearing as a regular immediately following the show’s pilot. Daman Wayans Jr appeared in the pilot as a character named Coach but, due to his prior commitment to the short-lived \u003cem>Happy Endings,\u003c/em> was unable to continue with the first season. And so we got Winston. Winston started out strong: sharp, awkward, and always quick with a quip. For the first season and a half or so, he may have been the sleeper favorite among the roommates. But then Wayans’ character, Coach, returned to the loft. With Nick and Jess fully encompassed in the honeymoon phase of their romance, maybe producers felt adding more characters would spice up the plot lines. As the episodes wore on however, it became clear that this show wasn’t big enough for all of them. Soon Winston’s hilarious antics became increasingly bizarre, and not in a particularly funny way, but in a strange, weird, kind of ignorable way. His conversational contributions became poorly placed and easily brushed off. His storylines drifted further from those of the main group and now reside somewhere, off to the side, slowly fading away into obscurity. I miss the old Winston!\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11199\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2014/02/26/has-new-girl-jumped-the-shark-zooey-deschanel/princeonng/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11199\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11199\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/princeonng-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Still from Prince's appearance on New Girl via Fox\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Fox\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">It’s not unique for a show to include a few guest stars every once and again, but \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em> has flooded its third season with an obnoxious amount of them.

Take, for instance, Zooey Deschanel. While I recognize her adorability and appreciate her good set of bangs, I often find her ever-whimsical quirkiness nauseating (hi, have you seen \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbEjCvdGaZU\">this Siri commercial\u003c/a>?). So when \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em> premiered on Fox in September of 2011, I refused to tune in. Less persnickety friends of mine did. Soon I began to hear how truly hilarious the show was, how Zooey wasn’t as bad as you’d expect and how the ensemble cast was brilliant, energetic, chock full of well-timed one-liners, and always good for laugh. I couldn’t believe my ears! Armed with a Hulu Plus account and time to kill, I marathoned the first season and a half over a weekend. I was hooked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so I became a loyal \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em> fan, excitedly tuning in week after week to see what kind of shenanigans the gang would get up to next. I’d been so thrilled to have a show about post-college life for the modern early 30-something. A \u003cem>Friends\u003c/em> for today, if you will. But suddenly, and without warning, the show I grew to love took a turn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Things began to unravel during the show’s second season. At the finale of the first season, sexual tensions between roommates Jess and Nick were at an all time high. The will-they-won’t-they vibe gained serious momentum through the second season and then burst like a big sexy bubble. Nick and Jess gave in to their desires and audiences ate it up, hook, line, and sinker. But where could we go from here?\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11200\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2014/02/26/has-new-girl-jumped-the-shark-zooey-deschanel/nickandjess/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11200\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11200\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/nickandjess-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"Nick and Jess are so in love \" width=\"300\" height=\"224\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nick and Jess are so in love.

And it lasted nine seasons. They toyed with it, hovered around it, dangled it above us, dividing their viewers into two camps: “shippers” (short for relationshippers) and “noromos,” (as in no romance), fighting to keep the sexual tension alive. We wanted to believe. \u003cem>X-Files\u003c/em> creator Cris Carter became a master at embodying that “Are we gonna kiss?” moment episode after episode. He was \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04xw5l_gN3c\">edging\u003c/a> before we even had a word for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it worked. Pleasure delay works. Not just in the bedroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Season Two, Mr. Sheffield accidentally tells \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nanny\" target=\"_blank\">“The Nanny”\u003c/a> he loves her. But then he (or the writers?) backtrack and wait two more seasons before they give in to the building sexual tension. Then when The Nanny and Mr. Sheffield get hitched, the show gets canned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there was \u003cem>Bones\u003c/em>. I used to love \u003cem>Bones\u003c/em>. Bones and Booth danced around the sex since 2005. It was fun. They solved crimes with science and the tension between them was a knife cut away. It built and grew. It had twists. Turns. Just when you thought they’d give in, Bones has a date with someone. Or Booth does. And “Why am I jealous?”starts creeping into the chemistry of the two. It was endearing. Kinda like real life. Kinda like when two friends of yours start realizing they dig each other. And Bones is kinda “on the spectrum” a bit in the way really smart people have trouble getting in touch with their emotions, so it took time. I was watching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then, boom. They gave in. Then they didn’t give in anymore. Then they gave in, again (I think?). And now, they are in their ninth season, and Booth just proposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I stopped watching the first time they gave in. Even though I had started watching for the science and forensics and the cool smart dreams I’d have afterwards, the chemistry between Booth and Bones had become the show, the flirting, that witty banter, the question, always looming. So when the unknown became known, sorry, but that’s when I lost my TV-Boner for \u003cem>Bones\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I bet it will be cancelled next season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a formula. Give in. Get cancelled or worse, become irrelevant. History tells us. Ross and Rachel. Meredith Grey and McDreampie. Pam and Jim. \u003cem>Vampire Diaries\u003c/em>. \u003cem>Castle\u003c/em>. The list goes on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it makes me wonder, will Bones’ real-life sister, Zooey Deschanel meet the same fate for her date? Will \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em>, a show that has surprised everyone (or at least everyone in my friend group who used to make fun of me for liking it and now likes it) start to suck now that they’ve given in to the whole Jess and Nick sexual tension?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve always loved \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em>. Even when people just wanted Zooey and her bangs and tiny guitar to go away, I still loved it. I loved her nerdy awkward girl schtick. I loved the crafty intro. Hand-made! I loved the guys. I thought, now here’s a show that has chemistry. Everybody has chemistry. All over the place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And stuck in the middle of all the clever banter of roommates with quick wits living interesting idealized hipster city lives, there was Nick and Jess. Roommates with this undercurrent. This question was always there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Are they going to? Do they want it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it tantalized. For two seasons. They toyed with us. The carrot dangled. The dance continued. The jealousy mounted. The dates they kept having kept failing, and we never rooted for any of them, realizing, somewhere inside of us, we were always rooting for this, and there they were Nick and Jess, kissing, on the screen, for a dare, I think.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now we are four episodes into the third season, and Nick and Jess are full-on dating. Roommates still, but giggling through walls, talking about feelings, milestones like “first month,” and we’re watching Nick work harder than he has at just about anything in the whole time we’ve “known” him. So we are still watching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But ratings \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_New_Girl_episodes\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>are \u003c/em>slightly\u003cem> \u003c/em>down\u003c/a>. So, I guess, less of us are watching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes. Nick and Jess are a couple now. But they’ve got other roomies, too. Max Greenfield and Lamorne Morris (Schmidt and Winston respectively) add to the loft’s dynamic with a caffeinated, hyper-active almost-insanity. Like when Winston does a puzzle for an entire episode before realizing he’s colorblind or tries to get his cat (a cat he steals from his cheating girlfriend) to have sex before it loses its balls or when Schmidt somehow has two “girlfriends” at one office party without being caught.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the banter. Conversation written like people actually have conversations, only if we were smarter and quicker hyperbolic versions of ourselves, backed by a room full of baseball caps trying to outsmart one another. \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em>'s conversations are like \u003cem>Seinfeld\u003c/em>. They don’t go anywhere really, but that was its success, highlighting the fact that real life, we don’t talk about anything and like in real life, friends dating wouldn’t be the only thing going on in your life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But still, it’s scary to give in so early in a series. They could have drawn out the blue-balls for another season at least. So I’ll it’s brave. (And they aren’t taking it \u003ca href=\"http://www.eonline.com/news/462721/new-girl-sneak-peek-what-the-writers-are-doing-with-nick-and-jess\">lightly\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I’m not saying anything new.

And it lasted nine seasons. They toyed with it, hovered around it, dangled it above us, dividing their viewers into two camps: “shippers” (short for relationshippers) and “noromos,” (as in no romance), fighting to keep the sexual tension alive. We wanted to believe. \u003cem>X-Files\u003c/em> creator Cris Carter became a master at embodying that “Are we gonna kiss?” moment episode after episode. He was \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04xw5l_gN3c\">edging\u003c/a> before we even had a word for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it worked. Pleasure delay works. Not just in the bedroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Season Two, Mr. Sheffield accidentally tells \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nanny\" target=\"_blank\">“The Nanny”\u003c/a> he loves her. But then he (or the writers?) backtrack and wait two more seasons before they give in to the building sexual tension. Then when The Nanny and Mr. Sheffield get hitched, the show gets canned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there was \u003cem>Bones\u003c/em>. I used to love \u003cem>Bones\u003c/em>. Bones and Booth danced around the sex since 2005. It was fun. They solved crimes with science and the tension between them was a knife cut away. It built and grew. It had twists. Turns. Just when you thought they’d give in, Bones has a date with someone. Or Booth does. And “Why am I jealous?”starts creeping into the chemistry of the two. It was endearing. Kinda like real life. Kinda like when two friends of yours start realizing they dig each other. And Bones is kinda “on the spectrum” a bit in the way really smart people have trouble getting in touch with their emotions, so it took time. I was watching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then, boom. They gave in. Then they didn’t give in anymore. Then they gave in, again (I think?). And now, they are in their ninth season, and Booth just proposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I stopped watching the first time they gave in. Even though I had started watching for the science and forensics and the cool smart dreams I’d have afterwards, the chemistry between Booth and Bones had become the show, the flirting, that witty banter, the question, always looming. So when the unknown became known, sorry, but that’s when I lost my TV-Boner for \u003cem>Bones\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I bet it will be cancelled next season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a formula. Give in. Get cancelled or worse, become irrelevant. History tells us. Ross and Rachel. Meredith Grey and McDreampie. Pam and Jim. \u003cem>Vampire Diaries\u003c/em>. \u003cem>Castle\u003c/em>. The list goes on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it makes me wonder, will Bones’ real-life sister, Zooey Deschanel meet the same fate for her date? Will \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em>, a show that has surprised everyone (or at least everyone in my friend group who used to make fun of me for liking it and now likes it) start to suck now that they’ve given in to the whole Jess and Nick sexual tension?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve always loved \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em>. Even when people just wanted Zooey and her bangs and tiny guitar to go away, I still loved it. I loved her nerdy awkward girl schtick. I loved the crafty intro. Hand-made! I loved the guys. I thought, now here’s a show that has chemistry. Everybody has chemistry. All over the place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And stuck in the middle of all the clever banter of roommates with quick wits living interesting idealized hipster city lives, there was Nick and Jess. Roommates with this undercurrent. This question was always there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Are they going to? Do they want it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it tantalized. For two seasons. They toyed with us. The carrot dangled. The dance continued. The jealousy mounted. The dates they kept having kept failing, and we never rooted for any of them, realizing, somewhere inside of us, we were always rooting for this, and there they were Nick and Jess, kissing, on the screen, for a dare, I think.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now we are four episodes into the third season, and Nick and Jess are full-on dating. Roommates still, but giggling through walls, talking about feelings, milestones like “first month,” and we’re watching Nick work harder than he has at just about anything in the whole time we’ve “known” him. So we are still watching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But ratings \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_New_Girl_episodes\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>are \u003c/em>slightly\u003cem> \u003c/em>down\u003c/a>. So, I guess, less of us are watching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes. Nick and Jess are a couple now. But they’ve got other roomies, too. Max Greenfield and Lamorne Morris (Schmidt and Winston respectively) add to the loft’s dynamic with a caffeinated, hyper-active almost-insanity. Like when Winston does a puzzle for an entire episode before realizing he’s colorblind or tries to get his cat (a cat he steals from his cheating girlfriend) to have sex before it loses its balls or when Schmidt somehow has two “girlfriends” at one office party without being caught.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the banter. Conversation written like people actually have conversations, only if we were smarter and quicker hyperbolic versions of ourselves, backed by a room full of baseball caps trying to outsmart one another. \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em>'s conversations are like \u003cem>Seinfeld\u003c/em>. They don’t go anywhere really, but that was its success, highlighting the fact that real life, we don’t talk about anything and like in real life, friends dating wouldn’t be the only thing going on in your life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But still, it’s scary to give in so early in a series. They could have drawn out the blue-balls for another season at least. So I’ll it’s brave. (And they aren’t taking it \u003ca href=\"http://www.eonline.com/news/462721/new-girl-sneak-peek-what-the-writers-are-doing-with-nick-and-jess\">lightly\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I’m not saying anything new.

We could call those the bad old days, when instead of the immediate gratification of Netflix Instant starting a new episode for you 12 seconds after the last one ended, you had to wait for a week between cliff hanger and resolution. Sure we were less busy back then, without the internet, but were our brains really so much better that we could remember plot points and characters for a week?

Nothing compares to immersing yourself in a fictional world and then coming up days later, not really sure where or who you are anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the foggy gloomy of San Francisco summer not looking like it will let up anytime soon, we asked KQED Pop's TV obsessed writers to share their favorite shows for marathoning.

I slipped a disc in the L5S1 part of my vertebrae and there was major pressure on my sciatic nerve. Standing for extended periods of time was virtually impossible. This led to couch time and more importantly TV show marathons! After blowing through \u003cem>The OC, Laguna Beach \u003c/em>and \u003cem>The Ashlee Simpson Show\u003c/em>, I was tired of the sun-kissed cheeks and thoughtless drama. And where else to turn for cerebral joy than HBO? \u003cem>Six Feet Under\u003c/em> was in its last season and was at the height of popularity. So began my indulging of a different side of Los Angeles, the inland side. As we know, each episode began with a death and more often than not that body ended up in the basement of the Fisher Funeral Home. Some of the tightest writing in television history, \u003cem>Six Feet Under \u003c/em>defined that summer for me. I watched the show alone as though it demanded it. I never learned so much about life through death. Claire gave me serious Angela Chase vibes, David was super gay, Nate was hot, Brenda was crazy, Ruth was superb and my favorite character on the show. But what stood out most to me was the tone, supported immensely by the incredible music selections. Each episode quiet and hazy, not too dissimilar from the summer I was having, cooped up indoors while that hot star shown down on the rest of the world outside. And I was perfectly fine with it. Like any great television show, I was living through these characters, they were teaching me and I was affected. Since then I equate \u003cem>Six Feet Under\u003c/em> with summertime, because even in the brightest of seasons you must find room for a little darkness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/serena/\" target=\"_blank\">Serena Cole\u003c/a>: \u003cem>Lost\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/02/the-most-marathonable-tv-shows-ever/305-desmond-hurley-01-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7262\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-7262 aligncenter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/305-desmond-hurley-011.jpg\" alt=\"305-desmond-hurley-01\" width=\"640\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/305-desmond-hurley-011.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/305-desmond-hurley-011-400x216.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I believe in doing things all the way if you're going to do them at all. If you're going to drink, fall over with your pants down, and if you're going to marathon a show this summer, it should be at least a significant portion of your waking life. After all, what good is a show that was cancelled after two seasons, or one you have to wait an entire YEAR for your next fix? The good news for you is that the complete \u003cem>Lost\u003c/em> series is 49 hours, so you could put in a full work week watching it and still have episodes left. And it \u003cem>needs\u003c/em> to be all at once; sleep, hygiene, and food neglected until you really are stranded on a desert island with Sawyer, Hurley, Desmond and Charlie. (Let's just pretend Kate's dead because she is so annoying).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you haven't watched \u003cem>Lost\u003c/em>, it's probably because of how dumb and obsessive your friends sounded after watching the first season. Or maybe you tried to watch it three seasons in and were, ba dum bum, lost. But now that it's all over, you're in the perfect place to really GIVE yourself to \u003cem>Lost\u003c/em>. That shrill, frantic violin ending each time puts you so far off the edge of the couch that you don't even mind that you just got hooked on polar bears and time travel and you absolutely must know what happened in the next episode with the smoke monster. It's embarrassing but true, and then I won't be able to stop you from talking to me about it.

If you missed the five seasons of this masterful Canadian sketch comedy show when it originally aired in the late '80/early '90s, Netflix will set you straight. This is stripped down, super funny, sketch comedy at its pinnacle, performed by the equally hysterical Dave Foley, Mark McKinney, Kevin MacDonald, Scott Thompson and Bruce McCulloch. It's ridiculous, hilarious and it's socially conscious with many sketches featuring openly gay characters (kind of a huge deal back then). Don't even bother watching other TV shows, just allow the \u003cem>Kids In The Hall\u003c/em> to introduce you to Cabbage Head, Mr. Tyzik and the Chicken Lady and fall in comedy love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/lauraschadler/\" target=\"_blank\">Laura Schadler\u003c/a>: \u003cem>Pretty Little Liars\u003c/em>/\u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em>/\u003cem>The Mindy Project\u003c/em>/\u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em>/\u003cem>Friday Night Lights\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/02/the-most-marathonable-tv-shows-ever/laura-photo/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7258\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-7258 alignright\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/laura-photo.jpg\" alt=\"laura photo\" width=\"232\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/laura-photo.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/laura-photo-400x400.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/laura-photo-800x800.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/laura-photo-1440x1440.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/laura-photo-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/laura-photo-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/laura-photo-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/laura-photo-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/laura-photo-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you might know by now, I can literally \u003cem>never\u003c/em> choose just one anything. Life is far too complicated for just one favorite movie/band/food/dress/book/color. And television is no exception. For that reason I struggle with which show is my favorite to stream in the summer months. So many ways to answer the question…My ironic answer is \u003cem>Pretty Little Liars\u003c/em>, complete with shiny lip gloss, giant baubles and a text message-centric murder mystery that never ever ends. Bonus points for the fact that it’s laughably predictable suspense is full of repetitive horror movie tropes that could lend themselves to a pretty amusing drinking game. Subtract points for the fact that no one will watch this with me and I don’t think I should be drinking alone while watching \u003cem>Pretty Little Liars\u003c/em>. My genuine answer is \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em>, a show that refreshingly portrays 30-somethings instead of teenagers, and not only that but depicts them as the ridiculous, immature, hilarious people they often are (I’d also nominate \u003cem>The Mindy Project \u003c/em>in this category if I could find it streaming somewhere other than Hulu Plus). I far prefer Mindy to Zooey, but regardless, both of these funny, girl-fronted shows make me happy. Many an episode has me laughing so hard I’m crying. I deeply relate to the thesis statement of both stories, ones where the humor is derived almost solely from the inability of its characters to be grown-ups.

I grew up without a TV so watching shows on DVD was my first way of really experiencing and getting sucked into a TV world. For me it reflects the way I started consuming my stories: novels. I would stay up all night reading a novel, walk to school literally with my nose in a book, get sent out of the classroom for reading too much. Maybe I have an addictive personality. Okay, I definitely have an addictive personality.

Though I still have no idea what the name means, I can tell you I devoured this show back when Netflix didn't even have Instant, the year after I graduated from college (2005 soooo long ago). How could I, a 23-year-old straight girl from America, identify so closely with a group of fictional gay dudes in England? Who knows. Maybe it was the character development, maybe it was the drama and romance. But I can say that before I watched this show I seriously didn't even know any gay men and by the time I finished it, all I wanted was to BE a gay man.

Another, Data, is an android. The residents of the ship spend much of their time painting and reading big tomes of classical literature and generally being comfy, space-bougey, and Frasieresque. In 1989, Ronald D. Moore, who would later reboot \u003cem>Battlestar Galactica\u003c/em>, started writing for the show, fully embracing the awkward comedy of it and allowing for the kind of dark storylines Roddenberry might not have approved of. This clip reminds me of a great deal of poetry readings I've been to.

And then there are the people who reappear or just stay. Claire Danes is part of the latter category for me. When I was a tween, I watched \u003cem>My So-Called Life\u003c/em> over and over, that short-lived, yet enduring time capsule of what it feels like to be a teen, all that thrill and all that terror. Like an older sister, Angela Chase taught me how to dye my hair and battle against who my parents thought I was and how to obsess over Anne Frank and that surly boy incapable of loving me back. Those lessons were enough. If I never heard of Claire again, she would have served her purpose, yet she resurfaced in my life recently, as I was trapped in a Philadelphia airport, in the form of \u003cem>Homeland\u003c/em>. This time, she was playing a grown-up CIA operative who was crazed in a more clinical way than Angela Chase. But the core of what made me fall in love with her the first time remained: both characters share an unrelenting desire for someone just outside their grasp, as well as a stubborn refusal to let go of what they feel and believe. And it's due to these protagonists that both shows are the kind you can't help but devour, the first for its innocent nostalgic relatability and the latter for its passionate insane drama. Will Jordan Catalano hold Angela's hand? Will Carrie Mathison die for love? You'll just have to watch and see.\u003c/p>\n\n","disqusIdentifier":"7234 http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/?p=7234","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/02/the-most-marathonable-tv-shows-ever/","stats":{"hasVideo":true,"hasChartOrMap":false,"hasAudio":false,"hasPolis":false,"wordCount":2080,"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"paragraphCount":21},"modified":1382053823,"excerpt":"Nothing really compares to immersing yourself in a fictional world and then coming up days later, not really sure where or who you are anymore, so we asked KQED Pop's TV obsessed writers to share their favorite shows for marathoning.

I slipped a disc in the L5S1 part of my vertebrae and there was major pressure on my sciatic nerve. Standing for extended periods of time was virtually impossible. This led to couch time and more importantly TV show marathons! After blowing through \u003cem>The OC, Laguna Beach \u003c/em>and \u003cem>The Ashlee Simpson Show\u003c/em>, I was tired of the sun-kissed cheeks and thoughtless drama. And where else to turn for cerebral joy than HBO? \u003cem>Six Feet Under\u003c/em> was in its last season and was at the height of popularity. So began my indulging of a different side of Los Angeles, the inland side. As we know, each episode began with a death and more often than not that body ended up in the basement of the Fisher Funeral Home. Some of the tightest writing in television history, \u003cem>Six Feet Under \u003c/em>defined that summer for me. I watched the show alone as though it demanded it. I never learned so much about life through death. Claire gave me serious Angela Chase vibes, David was super gay, Nate was hot, Brenda was crazy, Ruth was superb and my favorite character on the show. But what stood out most to me was the tone, supported immensely by the incredible music selections. Each episode quiet and hazy, not too dissimilar from the summer I was having, cooped up indoors while that hot star shown down on the rest of the world outside. And I was perfectly fine with it. Like any great television show, I was living through these characters, they were teaching me and I was affected. Since then I equate \u003cem>Six Feet Under\u003c/em> with summertime, because even in the brightest of seasons you must find room for a little darkness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/serena/\" target=\"_blank\">Serena Cole\u003c/a>: \u003cem>Lost\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/02/the-most-marathonable-tv-shows-ever/305-desmond-hurley-01-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7262\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-7262 aligncenter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/305-desmond-hurley-011.jpg\" alt=\"305-desmond-hurley-01\" width=\"640\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/305-desmond-hurley-011.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/305-desmond-hurley-011-400x216.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I believe in doing things all the way if you're going to do them at all. If you're going to drink, fall over with your pants down, and if you're going to marathon a show this summer, it should be at least a significant portion of your waking life. After all, what good is a show that was cancelled after two seasons, or one you have to wait an entire YEAR for your next fix? The good news for you is that the complete \u003cem>Lost\u003c/em> series is 49 hours, so you could put in a full work week watching it and still have episodes left. And it \u003cem>needs\u003c/em> to be all at once; sleep, hygiene, and food neglected until you really are stranded on a desert island with Sawyer, Hurley, Desmond and Charlie.

This is stripped down, super funny, sketch comedy at its pinnacle, performed by the equally hysterical Dave Foley, Mark McKinney, Kevin MacDonald, Scott Thompson and Bruce McCulloch. It's ridiculous, hilarious and it's socially conscious with many sketches featuring openly gay characters (kind of a huge deal back then).

Life is far too complicated for just one favorite movie/band/food/dress/book/color. And television is no exception. For that reason I struggle with which show is my favorite to stream in the summer months. So many ways to answer the question…My ironic answer is \u003cem>Pretty Little Liars\u003c/em>, complete with shiny lip gloss, giant baubles and a text message-centric murder mystery that never ever ends. Bonus points for the fact that it’s laughably predictable suspense is full of repetitive horror movie tropes that could lend themselves to a pretty amusing drinking game. Subtract points for the fact that no one will watch this with me and I don’t think I should be drinking alone while watching \u003cem>Pretty Little Liars\u003c/em>. My genuine answer is \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em>, a show that refreshingly portrays 30-somethings instead of teenagers, and not only that but depicts them as the ridiculous, immature, hilarious people they often are (I’d also nominate \u003cem>The Mindy Project \u003c/em>in this category if I could find it streaming somewhere other than Hulu Plus). I far prefer Mindy to Zooey, but regardless, both of these funny, girl-fronted shows make me happy. Many an episode has me laughing so hard I’m crying. I deeply relate to the thesis statement of both stories, ones where the humor is derived almost solely from the inability of its characters to be grown-ups. My nostalgic answers are the swoon-worthy, heartwarming, paradigm-shifting, Tim Riggins-having, \u003cem>Friday Night Lights\u003c/em>, as well as the classic, \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em>, whose conclusion I will one day soon actually see\u003cem>.\u003c/em> There you have it-five answers for the price of one!

Though I still have no idea what the name means, I can tell you I devoured this show back when Netflix didn't even have Instant, the year after I graduated from college (2005 soooo long ago). How could I, a 23-year-old straight girl from America, identify so closely with a group of fictional gay dudes in England? Who knows. Maybe it was the character development, maybe it was the drama and romance. But I can say that before I watched this show I seriously didn't even know any gay men and by the time I finished it, all I wanted was to BE a gay man.

Another, Data, is an android. The residents of the ship spend much of their time painting and reading big tomes of classical literature and generally being comfy, space-bougey, and Frasieresque. In 1989, Ronald D. Moore, who would later reboot \u003cem>Battlestar Galactica\u003c/em>, started writing for the show, fully embracing the awkward comedy of it and allowing for the kind of dark storylines Roddenberry might not have approved of. This clip reminds me of a great deal of poetry readings I've been to.

And then there are the people who reappear or just stay. Claire Danes is part of the latter category for me. When I was a tween, I watched \u003cem>My So-Called Life\u003c/em> over and over, that short-lived, yet enduring time capsule of what it feels like to be a teen, all that thrill and all that terror. Like an older sister, Angela Chase taught me how to dye my hair and battle against who my parents thought I was and how to obsess over Anne Frank and that surly boy incapable of loving me back. Those lessons were enough. If I never heard of Claire again, she would have served her purpose, yet she resurfaced in my life recently, as I was trapped in a Philadelphia airport, in the form of \u003cem>Homeland\u003c/em>. This time, she was playing a grown-up CIA operative who was crazed in a more clinical way than Angela Chase. But the core of what made me fall in love with her the first time remained: both characters share an unrelenting desire for someone just outside their grasp, as well as a stubborn refusal to let go of what they feel and believe. And it's due to these protagonists that both shows are the kind you can't help but devour, the first for its innocent nostalgic relatability and the latter for its passionate insane drama. Will Jordan Catalano hold Angela's hand? Will Carrie Mathison die for love? You'll just have to watch and see.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/pop/7234/the-most-marathonable-tv-shows-ever","authors":["2421"],"categories":["pop_6","pop_3"],"tags":["pop_177","pop_334","pop_1073","pop_1071","pop_386","pop_1077","pop_438","pop_384","pop_70","pop_1074","pop_1078","pop_1072","pop_696","pop_949","pop_1075","pop_1076"],"featImg":"pop_7282","label":"pop"},"pop_2371":{"type":"posts","id":"pop_2371","meta":{"index":"posts_1716263798","site":"pop","id":"2371","score":null,"sort":[1363194731000]},"parent":0,"labelTerm":{"site":"pop"},"blocks":[],"publishDate":1363194731,"format":"aside","disqusTitle":"A Completely Subjective History of Girl Culture","title":"A Completely Subjective History of Girl Culture","headTitle":"KQED Pop | KQED Arts","content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_2374\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 271px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/03/13/a-completely-subjective-history-of-girl-culture/girls-lena-dunham-1_-_copy1/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2374\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-2374\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/girls-lena-dunham-1_-_copy1.jpg\" alt=\"Lena Dunham of 'Girls'\" width=\"271\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/girls-lena-dunham-1_-_copy1.jpg 584w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/girls-lena-dunham-1_-_copy1-400x286.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 271px) 100vw, 271px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lena Dunham of 'Girls'\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>A Girl Renaissance\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Girls are having a moment.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but looking back it seems like it was a good time for girls, but an angry time. And everyone was skinny and on drugs, highlighted by \u003cem>Pulp Fiction\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Trainspotting\u003c/em>, heroin chic and Kate Moss. On the other hand, we had Lilith Fair and the woman warrior weapon of choice: the acoustic guitar. Suddenly everyone was 'PC', and it seemed like everyone had also recently become bi-sexual. Weirdest of all, dreadlocks enjoyed a rise in popularity, with Ani Di Franco as a poster child for basically all of the above.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_110110\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-110110\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-800x798.jpg\" alt=\"Ani DiFranco\" width=\"800\" height=\"798\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-800x798.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-160x160.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-768x766.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-1020x1017.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ani DiFranco\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Soft-Spoken Harpists and Fame-Chasers\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can hardly remember anything about the 2000s. I guess once your personal preferences are formed, and your personality cemented, you are free to go about looking back into history to find your tribe. This is when I discovered the Runaways, X, Siouxsie and the Banshees, \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em> and old horror films. Since I became a punk in this time period, my memory doesn't recall much of the current traditional girl 'pop' culture of the time. I remember that rockabilly had a resurgence, with amazing sculpted girl pompadour beehive things that I wished I could do. Also, there was the band, The Distillers, who took the angry feminism of the '90s and made it more explicit, referencing Susan B. Anthony in their lyrics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODGp9g9nJKk&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mostly what I remember, however, was the bipolar culture of a new way of keeping up with all kinds of the coolest things, amplified by the fact that basically everyone now had the internet and MySpace and a way to broadcast themselves. There was also a very quiet indie culture of soft girliness, like \u003ca href=\"http://lulamag.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lula Magazine\u003c/a>, which I think was a reaction from the more sensitive turtles of girl culture. We had the \u003ca title=\"Cobrasnake\" href=\"http://www.thecobrasnake.com\">Cobrasnake\u003c/a> and New York disco pop trumping everything like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Glass Candy, but we also had the \u003cem>Virgin Suicides\u003c/em> and Cat Power and Joanna Newsom, (which was weird because she is from my hometown). There was \u003cem>Sex and the City\u003c/em>, lest we forget, and a constant push to spend money and keep up, with reality shows like \u003cem>The Hills\u003c/em> and a strange cultural obsession with Paris Hilton. In the end, I think as girls we lost our way again, just like we did last time we had too much money, in the '80s. Girl culture became about labels, the possibility of fame, and the weird alternative reality of Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_110109\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-110109\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Paris and Nicole\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-1920x1081.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paris and Nicole\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>The New Girls\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enter the economic bottom dropping out.

Since I became a punk in this time period, my memory doesn't recall much of the current traditional girl 'pop' culture of the time. I remember that rockabilly had a resurgence, with amazing sculpted girl pompadour beehive things that I wished I could do. Also, there was the band, The Distillers, who took the angry feminism of the '90s and made it more explicit, referencing Susan B.

There was also a very quiet indie culture of soft girliness, like \u003ca href=\"http://lulamag.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lula Magazine\u003c/a>, which I think was a reaction from the more sensitive turtles of girl culture. We had the \u003ca title=\"Cobrasnake\" href=\"http://www.thecobrasnake.com\">Cobrasnake\u003c/a> and New York disco pop trumping everything like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Glass Candy, but we also had the \u003cem>Virgin Suicides\u003c/em> and Cat Power and Joanna Newsom, (which was weird because she is from my hometown).

In the end, I think as girls we lost our way again, just like we did last time we had too much money, in the '80s.

The world no longer moves to the beat of just one drum and the era of a lengthy ditty played over shots of a photogenic cast is all but over. It's no wonder, fewer and fewer people watch TV live and instead prefer to watch on a DVR or a computer where opening credits are easy enough to fast forward through. That being said, there are a few current TV themes that are definitely worth your notice. While they may not all have been written expressly for their shows, they are all performed by artists that have an impressive and enjoyable catalogue worth exploring.
