Arghhh, TV OVERLOAD! I’m kidding, but I’m not because there really are so many good shows to keep track of, and plenty of new ones too that have yet to prove themselves worthy. I’ve noticed that it’s just easier for me to keep my Hopper’s Primetime Anytime feature on so that I can always be sure to have all the primetime shows from the four major networks saved on my DVR. I’m happy to read that I can look forward to more Arrow, especially since one of my coworkers at DISH just introduced me to a few Green Arrow comics. I’ve learned that Oliver Queen is a tough guy who’s not to be messed with, and I can’t wait to see how the show portrays this attribute during it’s FULL season!
