TV

So.

Community season two finishes on the 13th
Desperate Housewives season 7 finishes on the 16th*
How I Met Your Mother season 6 finishes on the 17th
Big Bang Theory season four finishes on the 20th

and then all we have on is Game of Thrones and Doctor Who** until True Blood kicks off at the end of June.

I may end up reading a book if I'm not careful!

Anything I should be queuing up to replace them until they all restart again?

*More Julie's problem than mine, but there ya go.
**And of course that's only on for seven episodes before it takes a break until September!

As just one short series you'll hate finishing, Journeyman. Time travel with ramifications, surprising emotion, and Kevin McKidd rocking.

Sym-Bionic Titan is about 20 episodes in and is a giant robots and teenagers show by Genndy Tartakovsky. Very sweet, lovely animation and an arc that gets moving quickly.

Wonderfalls is a lot like Dead Like Me if you want whimsical and macabre.

And Castle? Pleasantly distracting Nathan Fillion vehicle. <3

I really like it. I think it has lots of heart and one of the characters in particular is brilliant - Octus, who's a lot like a robot. Some people feel it needs more action, but I think mostly the action sequences punctuate an emotional moment or character arc. A lot of the asides and tone isn't for kids, for sure - I think you'd get a lot out of it.

As an example, and you don't have to watch this as it's a *bit* of a spoiler:
