I'll add the Office, My Name is Earl, Robot Chicken, Family Guy, American Dad to that.

That depends on what DVR you are using. I don't have a Tivo so I don't know the steps but fortunately my friend Google does know. However that might not work for too much longer. .

If you have a PC based DVR (like Beyond TV) then all you need is the DVD burning software like MyDVD

Unfortunately I have the DVR provided by Time Warner Cable. I do not have TiVO. I haven't found any information that gives a person with no concept of this stuff instructions on how to do it.

I have an iMac with iDVD and iMovie.

My roomie has a TIVO and while I love the convenience of it, I really miss being able to record programs on my DVD-R (I have a Panasonic DVD-R). In fact, I gave her one, but when Comcast came and set her up, they would not hook up the DVD-R. The damn TIVO has no outputs beyond what goes in the TV, which is a real pain. Maybe I should swap out the VHS? Anyone have thoughts?

My roomie said there is some thing having to do with comcast that we can't record the stuff in the 500's channels (which if true, can't be, that's TCM). Right now I'm just reluctant to pull eveyrthing out and figure out the hook ups

Humm.. The best I could find is this:

Anything Law and Order. I just can't help myself.

Gained a Without A Trace addiction over the summer.

House. The accent creeps me out, but I can't not watch.

Lost. Damn you. Damn you all.

Veronica Mars. Why wasn't I that witty in high school?

Gilmore Girls. Although this season's pilot allegedly sucks now that the creator left.

Desperate Housewives. Just shut up, okay?

And the rest of the time is basically reality shows, which vary depending on the cast that particular run, but may include:

Survivor (this season hasn't really intrigued me yet.)
Amazing Race (the two most interesting couples were eliminated the first night, so not sure on this either.)
ANTM (look, sometimes I just want to see pretty girls do astoundingly stupid things, okay?)
Project Runway (yay! Snarky bitches make clothes!)
Whatever the chef show is that follows a season of Project Runway (yay! Snarky bitches make food!)
Dancing with the Stars - although now I basically just catch the routines on YouTube. Go Jerry!
And if everything else is in reruns: Wife Swap and Super Nanny.

None of the new shows have really grabbed me yet. Studio 60 and Heroes look potentially interesting, but so far I don't care enough to worry if I miss them.

Thanks. I used Google too. That statement really doesn't help me much. I started a new thread in Egg Head so as not to continue to derail this one more.

Oh, I forgot to add:

Bones

Ghost Whisperer

I think to record from a DVR to DVD, just hook up the DVD recorder to the signal out before the TV, and record it in real time. I have a freind who records from the Time Warner DVR to VHS this way.

I have a friend who does that, too.

Let's see...

Stargate SG-1
Stargate Atlantis
Survivor
Amazing Race

Studio 60 looks pretty good. We'll see.
Heroes might be OK. We'll see.

Daily Show and Colbert Report, but not as often as I'd like

I've given up on Lost. I'm convinced there is no plan for this show and it's just floating through time until someone calls the whole thing off. When I thought it was going somewhere, I was interested. Now that I'm fairly convinced it's not, I just don't care.

I'll need another show to replace SG-1 when it ends so I can get my sci-fi fix each week. (Suggestions, anyone?)
