Hey I have been messing around with drupal for a little bit now and still find myself very confused. I am trying to build a nice simple tv show web site for me to learn but am finding this a lot harder then originally thought. I know the learning curve is really high with drupal but I really wanna try and make this work.

Any help, guidance would be greatly appreciated I am near giving up I just dont get it. I have tried reading as much as I can about drupal but either it doesnt stick or I am just not understanding it.

Try breaking things down into basic content chunks
Try breaking down that list into what is a "content type" (node).
Kind of like this...
Start with cck and try to identify what fields you need. Season would probably be best as a Vocabulary (taxonomy terms). Look at panels for complex layouts.
