Every year I look at my television watchlist and I know I need to cut it down. There is not enough time in the world to watch every single show that interests me, unfortunately. With this year especially being my first as a college student, I know I won’t be getting to watch every show on my watchlist. So it’s no better time than now to narrow the watchlist down to what I really want/need to watch.

I am watching/will watch a total of 61 shows. Compared to last year’s which was 67 shows. That doesn’t seem like much of a difference, but the 10 shows listed above with an asterisk are either in their final season, is a mini-series or I only have a few episodes left to watch of it. It’s a bigger difference when you think about it like that.
