Who Watches More TV Than You Do? (Me, Me, I Do!)

What the hell would I do without a DVR and HULU+

I took some time over the weekend and scanned through Hulu+ to see how many TV shows I was actually "following". . . meaning that I put them in a Que to make sure I don't' miss watching them.

I'm appalled. Embarrassed even. Maybe shocked. Startled.

You know, I hardly ever watch any TV when the show is scheduled by the network. But, I'm still making a concerted effort to watch the thirty-one (31) shows listed below in alphabetical order.

Thirty-one? Holy Crap . . . That's a lot of television.

Here's the list.

Backstrom

Bad Judge (Cancel)

Better Call Saul

Big Bang Theory

Black-ish

Blacklist

Bones

Brooklyn Nine Nine

Castle

CSI Cyber

Elementary

The Following

Gotham

House of Cards

Last Man On Earth

Last Man Standing

Major Crimes

The Middle

MOM

Mysteries of Laura

NCIS

One Big Happy

Pawn Stars

Person of Interest

Resurrection

Rizzoli & Isles

Selfie (Cancel)

Two Broke Girls

Undateable

Under The Dome

Wilfred

That's not even counting weekend sports programming, Tiger baseball, a random Murder She Wrote, a few Seinfelds, the always available NCIS-A-Thon, late nite Castle repeats, John Stuart and of course, Jeopardy.

I hope my kids don't read this column.

They just might not approve.

========= The Following -- Body Count Update ==========

It's been a few weeks now since we've taken a close look at the Body Count on The Following.

Recently, we learned that 7,000 people die in the USA every day.

Sometimes it seems that most every one of these 7,000 daily deaths are shown with graphic, gratuitous bloodshed on The Following - starring Kevin Bacon -- every Monday night on FOX.

OK . . . That's probably an exaggeration . . . but the FOX blood and gore cult classic has definitely kept up the dead body count steady during the last five weeks . . .

Although I have to admit that I'm more than a bit disappointed at the (what I expected) lack of mass bloodletting. Is it just me? Or were there more bodies the last two seasons.

Nonetheless, I said I would keep a running total for Season #3 of The Following. So, here's the cumulative body count after 10 episodes

Ten weeks . . . 80 Bodies. I don't think you need me to do the math.

(Note to Self: Do not make any promises like this in the future.)

Episode Ten = +9 Bodies, Season Total 80, Bodies/Episode = 8

Theo stabs homeless guy who was with sister Penny (1)

Joe Carrol stun gun to the eye (1)

Joe Carrol knife slash (1)

Governor's Guy gets it (1)

Prison Riot -- Ryan kills at least (3) (maybe 4)

Joe Carrol executed by injection ... (or is he) (1)

Episode Nine = +4 Bodies, Season Total 71, Bodies/Episode = 8

Gary - guard slashed (1)

Daisy is back as a dark-haired waitress/escort and neck-knifes Walter (pickup guy) (1)

Theo shoots (Ranger) Capt Tubbs (1)

Joe Carrol strangles Gary from his prison cell (1)

Episode Eight = +9 Bodies, Season Total 67, Bodies/Episode = 8+

One body into the food grinder (1)

Joe Carrol has a vision and kills (4)

Nancy and Husband (2)

Eldon Wyck (1)

Theo kills his wife (1)

Kids not killed

Episode Seven = +9 Bodies, Season Total 58, Bodies/Episode = 8+

2 nameless u.s. Marshals moving a prisoner named Duncan

14 min mark -- 3 card players ... Friends of Luis

24 min ..... Luis's girlfriend by Duncan

31 min .... Peter Collins' boy friend by "Theo"

Ryan kills Duncan after taking a shotgun blast to his body armor

Luis is saved

Theo goes to Tucker house ... Head of MANITEK and fakes his suicide.

Everybody goes to bed

An FBI security dude took an ice pick to the brain from Kyle

A second security guard was shot in mid-forehead by Daisy

Kyle took a bullet from Kevin Bacon

An evil lawyer lady was killed/burned to death with an iron . . .

(LINE OF THE WEEK) . . . "You don't have to kill me," the lawyer lady pleaded. THE REPLY BY BAD GUY MARK -- "You're already dead,"he grinned. "It's just about how much it's gonna hurt."

One gruesome "Body in a Box" that will be long remembered.

Episode One = +10 Bodies, Season Total = 10, Bodies/Episode = 10
