Is it worth it to catch up on Terminator: TSCC and My Name is Earl?

I stopped watch Terminator: TSCC in S2E05 and for My name is earl S04E02.

The reason is I had to catch up on more higher priority shows of mine but I'm all caught up now.


Anyone think it's worth it? What your option?


Thanks.

I'm not sure where that puts you on Terminator? The last few have been rather quiet episodes, you might get away with skipping them, but I'd have to check what's happened since you stopped watching...

EDIT: Wow, you're further behind than I thought! You should probably watch...

FWIW, E13-16 form sort of a closed story arc. Some people have found them a little "slow", I suppose if you ran out of free time you could skip past those... (won't know for sure whether any of it is important until later)

If you are bored, watch Terminator for sure, even though some episodes are boring and slow, I love anything Terminator

Earl, it's a sitcom, doesn't matter at all the order (for 90% of it)

I'm currently trying to catch up on Terminator (among other shows). I'm still undecided about whether it's actually worth it.

The last 3 eps of Terminator have been dreadfully boring, and probably some more before that.

Earl's had a few funny lines each ep but it's hardly been Must See TV.

I deleted Terminator last week. It appeared to be having budgetary problems which was bringing in a lot of poorly written, boring filler episodes. The show's way too young for it to be spinning its wheels in the way it is.

Terminator, yes. Earl, not essential. The story arc over the last few episodes was pretty silly anyway.

Both are very very good shows, IMHO.
