TV
I watch too much TV.
There I said it.
TIVO is my partner in this crime. (Amanda----you want DVR, you need DVR)
For example---last night, Golden Globes starts at 8, Antiques Roadshow (yes I am a loser) also at 8.
We lay down at about 8:15 after the kids are down and dishes put away, and I convince my wife that we need to watch a little AR so we can build up a "commercial" cushion on the GG's. We can zip through the first hour of the "globes" and skip commericals and boring parts of the show (not that there were too many---one of the reasons it is better than Oscar night).
I still have to watch Apprentice from Sunday night, and we haven't watched last week's ER (so sad to see the shell that this show has become). I am also starting to watch SNL again (Tivo'ed of course), which brings me back to the days of taping it every week and watching a bit before church on Sunday and then finishing before football (dana carvey, mike myers, phil hartman, chris rock, rob schneider, adam sandler days).
Tonight---Two Words......American, freakin', Idol Now my Tuesday nights have meaning again (after Friday Night Lights' move to Wednesday)
Back to work, that is all for now.
Comments
Did you catch the mamapop live blog of the GGs last night and the AI premiere tonight?
My viewing: Monday--How I Met Your Mother, Heroes, Studio 60
Tuesday--Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars
Wednesday--Friday Night Lights, Lost
Thursday---Earl, Office, Scrubs, 30 Rock
Friday--Grey's Anatomy repeat
Nope, can't get a good wireless signal in the bedroom! So no live-blogging, oh well, one of these days I will get high-speed for real.
Here is how TIVO changes your viewing---
Sunday--Desp. Housewives (tivo Apprentice --but this year is shaky so far)
Monday--Watch Antiques Roadshow (if Danielle lets me) Watch Tivo'ed Apprentice (maybe even Tivo'ed ER from prev. Thursday)
Tuesday-- Now AI (D tivos Gilmore Girls)
Wed--Friday Night Lights
Thursday, warm up the Tivo, its gonna be busy--Office, Scrubs, Greys, ER (D will sprinkle in some Ugly Betty watching)
Friday--Catch up on some Tivo'ed stuff, usually ER (10 is so late these days, sad) Las Vegas (pure bubble-gum for 1 hr.)
Depending on the week and my awareness, I will Tivo random stuff such as Mythbusters, Miami Ink, and other stuff up in the 200s on DirecTV, I don't go crazy with the season pass recording stuff.
