Happy Quaraversary

So, it’s been a year. We’re not going to rehash all the terrible stuff that happened in 2020. You know how bad it was. Instead, let’s talk about how we spent our time. Like everyone else, we watched TV. But unlike most other people we didn’t really up our consumption much. Our writing projects kept us happily occupied. The only real increase came from Kent working at home and that allowing us to pop on a half-hour diversion during lunch.

In August we started a list of what we watched during quarantine, but of course that was half a year in, and we certainly forgot some things. Since then we’ve sporadically kept up with it. Given how long this incomplete list is, we’re sort of horrified and amazed at how much TV we do actually watch. If we didn’t have our writing it would easily be twice as long.

What have we been watching? Let’s break it down.
