Watching The Wire is by far our most popular resolution. A sampling:
I am locking myself in for all of January's (and February's, if necessary) weekends and watching all of The Wire, dammit, —Jennifer Armstrong
I will call in ''sick'' for a week and watch The Wire on DVD from beginning to end. I feel so inadequate for having missed out on this show. —Chris Nashawaty
I vow to finally rent The Wire so I can stop pretending to know what my friends have been talking about for the last seven years. Who is Bubbles? What is an Omar?? —Leah Greenblatt

My resolution is not to get so emotionally involved in The Bachelor that I scare my husband out of the room by screaming and ranting at the TV during the final rose ceremony as the Bachelor inevitably picks the wrong woman. That said, I know I will break this resolution. —Kristen Baldwin

I promise to watch all the episodes of FlashForward on my TiVo. And at least one episode of Jersey Shore to see what all the hype is about. —Connie Yu

I resolve to finally read 2666 by Roberto Bolano. Because it's almost 1,000 pages, it may be the only book I read all year. —Darren Franich

I will watch all of the Oscar's Best Picture nominees, even though there are 10 this year — and they can't all be that good. —Kate Stroup

I vow to start tuning in for The Big Bang Theory, and to watch even more on the Discovery, History, and Science channels so I can pretend my anthropology degree wasn't a total waste. —Mandi Bierly

I resolve to not judge my boyfriend when he laughs during commercials for comedy specials starring Dane Cook or Carlos Mencia. I say ''commercials,'' because if he so much as attempts to watch a second of the specials themselves, I will break him Dolph Lundgren-style. —Kate Ward

To play MORE video games. I bought this damn XBox, I should probably play it once in a while. Whenever I do I'm always shocked by how cool the games are. My wife is less impressed, though...and there's the rub. —Mike Bruno
