Yabbut, that's why I don't watch "normal" TV.
Most TV is awful .
SHIELD, IMO, is sort of on the bubble between watchable and unwatchable. It's not egregiously bad, but it's also nothing that really excites me. I'm giving it some slack and sticking with it because of the Marvel brand and because Whedon but, so far, it's pretty much a by the numbers case of the week show that happens to be set in the Marvel Filmverse.
