Well, I am just tickled pink because today I finally got my DVR. The hubby and I have had a DirecTV satellite for about 10-11 years. (Paid like $700 for it too...)

We got a new system today - new dish, local channels, room splitter, and the much-anticipated DVR. I can't wait to read the owner's manual and figure out all the cool things I can do.

On my list, as soon as I do get the do-hickey (sp?) figured out:

Daily Show

The Colbert Report

Lost (when it returns)

Spongebob

Anything Steelers related

TIVO? Cable? DVR?

And speaking of viewing - I love Moviegoer's blog. He's probably got one of the best here at the AT and he posts every day (if not multiple times a day). No one seems to be looking there much; or, at least, no one's posting.

I suggest his hard work be rewarded with visitors, if you have the chance.

Arrested Development
The Office
History Channel
TCM

Because I want the county to be forced to bury me when I die under the bridge, we have Dish DVR and Tivo because we want to record every channel on earth 24-7 lest we miss something.

John Philpot is to Phyllis Spear what Ed McMahon used to be to Johnny Carson.

Battlestar Galactica is now what Dark Angel used to be.

Nicky Hayden, from Kentucky, was the first American to win a MotoGP world title in the 21st Century.

Y'all are big-time boring.

"Anything with John Philpot and his cook.."

John is a friend and a cousin of mine. Visited with him this past weekend as he attended his brother's wedding anniversary. We used to bird hunt all the time, back when Ark. had a quail population.

movies movies movies, since its forty miles round trip to the video store.

Love Tivo! Never watch anything live anymore, just start late and zip through the commercials.

OK Max? How do you manage to keep watching Washington Week? You must keep a pillow near your chair for screaming into while Broder does Broder.

is Curb Your Enthusiasm back?

Like "Curious" - yet unlike "curious" cos I know you know what cable is - I don't have an inkling what Tivo or DVR are...?? So sorry you all were engrossed in some corporate, made-for-tv fantasy show while the best live music I've ever heard was played tonight at Flag & Banner downtown. This was a benefit show - if you're interested in details, check R4G.
Thursday night is not too early in the week(end) to get out - even if it is the coldest night so far this season...

Here goes:
Friday Night Lights
Lost
Bones
House
Prison Break
ER
CSI

Here would be my Tivo list.

Daily Show

Here is what my Tivo list would be if they made some improvements on the shows.

Survivor - if they didn't let hot chicks get eaten by bugs within the third episode.

Colbert - if he wasn't losing the spark on some segments like word of the day. That has fallen quickly since the start.

Bill Oriley - if he wasn't so lame for 60% of every show. All his views are not hateful. Even he can't believe that his audience believes he believes all his oppinions . (That one may need to be read slowly but it does make sense.)

Rachel Ray - the early years, before she started to get dumpy. Before you attack me, she was popular because she was cute and perky. Who wants some teenager teaching cooking? We want some one to teach us that has had 30 years of horrible then average then excellent pot roasts. If you haven't ruined ten or twenty pies then you don't know enough to explain to others.

Greta von Susteren - if she wasn't forced to go to the "dead or missing white teenage blondes all the time" programming like Nancy Grace.
(Speaking of Nancy Grace- that woman is one dumb bitch - my appologies to respectible female dogs everywhere.)

Razorbacks football - if when behind they would quit trying to have Dick pass to triple covered receivers for 3 and punt. It loses everytime they try.

"CSI (the original one, not that crappy one with acting so bad it's high comedy...or maybe that should read it's funny if you're high)"

Amen...the main character (goober) on CSI Miami is LOL funny. His posing (sideways with hands on hips) while he delivers those campy lines is so bad it's got to be purposeful. But I really don't think being high would help...and it'd be a waste of a good time!

I love the Closer and the Shield (one of the best shows ever); hubby loves Mythbusters (and I've become a fan)...and most of HBO's stuff. Most everything else we catch during one of the MANY, many times they're rerun.

It is irritating, however, how all the Sunday morning talk shows air at the same time.

I use the lazy Arkansan Tivo. If I'm not there to watch it, I'll catch it on the later reruns or just pass.

Somehow the sun still comes up every morning and I have a few more bucks in my pocket and a lot more time for blogs.

Rachel Ray needs to step back from the dinner table. Lordy she's plumped up like a Tyson turkey. Like the wife on the King of Queens did. Almost like Delta Burk!

Now don't jump all over me...men are the most uninteresting thing on earth, so they can get fat or bald or wrinkled and I hardly notice. On the other hand women I love can turn gray, chunk up and turn mean as a whip snake and I still love em.

I don't spend a lot of time watching cooking shows because I'm diabetic and me watching a cooking show is like a women with a hysterectomy watching baby shows, but one thing puzzles me.

My youngest daughter, the dessert chef of the family hates Rachel Ray, hated her from the first, just hates her! I watched her a couple of times to see why and outside of getting aroused in the middle of the day, which is not needed at my house, I didn't see anything wrong with the woman.

Anyone else out there hate Rachel Ray and if so, why?

PS, I was planning on inventing a cure for cancer today, but instead I thought talking about TV was more important. War? What war?

>>>Anyone else out there hate Rachel Ray and if so, why?<<<

Me.
I lothe her.
I do not know why.
Totally irrational hate.

We Tivo:
Daily Show
Cobert Report
Dr. Who
Battlestar Galactica
All the CSI's
Whatever is the Monday night crime drama of the moment on BBC America, even though Wire in the Blood makes me the happiest.
Southpark
Midsommer Murders
The Unit
Lost (while it was on)
Numbers
Cold Case
Good Eats
My Name is Earl (i Lurv Joy)
Boston Legal
The Shield (when it is on)
Rescue Me (when it is on)
Project Runway (ditto)

If we had any of the movie channels:
Weeds
Dexter
Deadwood (is it finally done?)
Carnival

Hey DBI,

Women are way more competitive amoungst themselves than men.

It is my old man (47) and half bald (only half) oppinion that your daughter probably looked at Rachel Ray and determined that her boyfreind or husband or potential boyfreind or potential husband would pick Rachel.

That I believe has been the cause of 95% of all catfights.

Now about the wife of King of Queens. I used to love that show and thought the wife was more sexy than Pia Zadora in the 70's. But when the wife became lumpy I lost all interest AND now if I see an old episode I fail to see what I saw in her.

That reminds me of my elementary school heart-throb Gracey. Man for years I would catch a glance of her and forget alphabetical order. Look at her twice in a day and I would forget my times tables. I never let on about this because I don't think she knew I existed.

At our 25 year highschool reunion I looked at Gracey and it just wasn't there any more and I couldn't see what I had seen. She hadn't let herself go or anything like that but there was nothing.

BUT, Annette had gone from plain to wow! Good thing you don't pick your spouse when you are 8.

But then again I might have hooked up with Ginger or MaryAnn or even Marsha Brady.

Can't stand Rachel "I Never Stop Smiling" Ray. She's every-damn-where at the grocery store. I get it; the girl can cook, she's cute, and apparently something I'm supposed to be jealous of. I think my loathing comes from some sort of cheerleader vibe she gives off. (That plus I can't cook to save my life.)

Where do you people get the
time to watch so much TV?
Are some of you serious?

I'm lucky to have time to
watch Boston Legal, Grey's
Anatomy, Brothers and
Sisters, and Real Time. If
Curb Your Enthusiasm ever
starts a new season, I'll have
to squeeze it in.

Rather late weighing in, here.

We don't have Tivo or any of the premium channels -- just Dish. But we LOVE those HBO shows like The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Six Feet Under. We get these from Blockbuster On-line.

I was a big fan of Seinfeld, but I get way more laughs out of Curb. Funniest show ever. SFU was brilliant; we just finished it last month.

I regularly catch The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Olbermann, sometimes Charlie Rose. Alton Brown's Good Eats is GREAT. More than cooking, it's also chemistry. If there's nothing else on I can watch those DIY shows on HGTV.

Rachel is fairly easy on the eyes, despite the extra el bees she carries these days, but she's just a little too perky. She has a great studio kitchen, though.

Oh, and 24.

"more sexy than Pia Zadora"

You're kidding right? No one is more sexy than Pia.....no one!
