What's on your DVR? - Page 3

I have a lot -

MI5
Top Gear
Murphy's Law
The Soup
The Girls Next Door
Bones
House
Ugly Betty
Grey's Anatomy
CSI
Numbers
Life on Mars
Graham Norton
Robin Hood
Cold Case
iCarley
Suite Life of Zack and Cody
Kim Possible
Hannah Montana
Army Wives
My Life on the D List
Waking the Dead
Silent Witness
What about Brian?
Brothers & Sisters
Murder Prevention Unit
How I Met Your Mother
Kumars at No. 42
Lost
Two and a Half Men

I think it saves me from watching stuff I'm not interested in. There's always stuff on there that I want to watch instead of waiting for my favorite show to come on. Where it totally saves me is getting Maddy to go to bed or do homework. If she's in the middle of watching something I just hit record and she has no excuse to say up "just till the next commercial". And usually she forgets about it and I just delete it anyway.

No DVR.
In fact, no cable TV at all.

There is a bunch of crap on our TiVo that will soon disappear because I need to do a hard reset (which wipes out everything). Instead of listing all of the crap, I will tell you the things I will be dumping to DVD before the reboot:

Tex the Passive Aggressive Gunslinger (a short from IMC that TiVo caught for us when we let it record suggestions)
Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner
Freebird the Movie
Probably some other stuff that I can't think of

It is probably best if you just let that one slide by as a missed opportunity. I watched about 20 minutes of it and it was truly painful.

The Comedy Central roasts definitely have no redeeming value and are an insulting reminder of the old Dean Martin ones.

I just got a new DVR on Saturday. I must have it for the new fall season. I start off watching anything and everything new (which requires a couple time blocks of *gasp* VCR to get 3 shows). After two or three weeks I weed it down based on what I find interesting. Last year the networks seemed to weed a lot out quicker than that.

Waaaa! I miss Veronica Mars, but at least we will see some of the actors on other shows. Veronica on Heroes, Logan on Moonlight and Piz on Private Practice. Remember the great line in the spin-off set-up on Grey's Anatomy? The ladies watched Piz/Dell leave to go surfing at lunch and one says something like, "The show repeats in an hour, only it's wet." I'm not sure I want to watch the show, but he will make me look. (I'm over Grey's, which jumped the shark when Meridith had no side effects from temporarily dying/drowning/hypothermia.)

My regular list: Original Law & Order (back in January - duhn duhn), Family Guy, Shark, Heroes, How I Met Your Mother, Bones, House, The Unit, Smallville, Top Chef, L&O: SVU, CSI (original).

I miss Veronica Mars too. That was the bedrock of my Gilmore/Mars night. Now they're both gone!

Don't forget, Kristen Bell (fondly, Veronica) is the narrator in Gossip Girl as well!
PS... Piz is all that and a bag of chips with no shirt on. Though... I'd eat that bag of chips off his chest muscles.... *sigh*

With the Fall Season arriving, it's time to start programming my DVR (which I always refer to as "TiVo" for some reason)!

What's on my DVR at this moment?

The Simpsons~ Both first-run & repeats. I never remove The Simpsons. I have so many episodes saved that I watch again & again.

My Boys~ It's time to remove My Boys since they just ended their season. I love this show!

Almost everything I watch is syndicated. I love repeats. I rarely tune into the major networks- I'm far too cable happy. I watch endless Simpsons, Friends, heavily edited Sex & the City, all of the Law & Orders, and Family Guy on KTLA, Fox, TNT & TBS. It doesn't matter if I have them on DVD- I still tune in. I must have familiarity issues! I'm almost always doing something else when watching TV whether it be reading, crossword puzzles, chores or anything else, so with repeats I'll never really miss anything I haven't seen before.

I have to add Heroes. I'm obsessed with that show, but Monday Night Football comes first. I tuned into Gossip Girl the other night. I was instantly hooked! I love girly shows like The Hills, too, and I love the E! channel. Golly, I watch a lot of TV!

I can't even get through the podcasts I subscribe to - I suspect I would be constantly buying bigger hard drives.

Alex · 09-20-2007, 06:54 PM

Oh, and while I don't have a DVR, I did watch the entire summer seasons of The Closer and Saving Grace via On Demand. Not timeless storage until I watch, but 4 weeks is plenty of time to allow timeshifting and the commercials are only five seconds long.

Babette · 09-20-2007, 06:58 PM

I would have had The Closer and Psych if I had my DVR sooner.
