Unit 612. There are so many shows on TV.

There are so many shows on TV.

< 본문 >

There are so many shows on TV these days that sometimes I'll waste a half hour just trying to figure out what to watch.

English On The Go

There's so much stuff on TV, it can be hard to decide what to watch.

Should I start the next episode of a sci-fi drama that I recently got into,

or should I shake things up a bit and watch something new for a change?

Oh, and I'm still on the fence about a horror movie that my friend recommended to me,

not because I'm scared … well, a little … but because there's just so many options and so little time.

I only have a few hours each night as it is, so I have to use that wisely.

And it's always a toss-up each night between watching something on TV or just using my computer.

Tonight I'm leaning toward the TV,

but I've been scratching my head for the past half hour just trying to figure out what I should watch.

Ugh, fine, I'll just put on whatever so at least I don't waste my whole night deciding.

Okay, Season 15, Episode 46. There we go. I've already watched this episode.

In fact, I've already seen every season of this show twice, but I'll watch something new tomorrow … probably.
