Would watching War & Peace get me out of the guilt of having never read it? Legends looks to mix a lot of items but may need some time to be successful but will def watch before one of my returning faves 100. Baskets with Galifianakas and from Louis CK promises to be oddball comedy which may not work for everyone but is def worth a look. Reports are that the new ‘season’ of X-Files starts out a bit of a mess but toward ep 3 or 4 hits a nice note. Plus a couple more Netflix shows, I know someone who has been missing Chelsea. And of course more Australian Open tennis!

Another year and TV is starting again. A few new ones that I’m not sure are worth more than a glance, Zoe is the latest sitcom for Brandy, MTV’s Chronicles based on some fantasy book, Poor Decisions may be just that, and Jane Lynch returns in Angel, while you can’t count out J Lo and Liotta returning to the small screen on the latest cop drama.
