I’ve DVRed a bunch of shows … unfortunately I can’t wait to watch them! I’ve seen pretty much everything on my DVR but I’m saving certain shows to go back and watch again. But due to my lack of time and great tv this season, I have worked up an EXTREMELY long Netflix queue, which I will be visiting soon. With American Idol, American Gladiator and Crowned on the horizon, I’m pretty sure my tv viewing will slow down and then it will be movie time.

Hil, you’ll enjoy Dead Like Me. I was sad to see it cancelled so soon.

I didn’t watch anything showing on Thursday. I popped in a Netflix of last season’s Medium to catch me up to the new season starting soon. That was fun. I got a stock pile of Dexter, half of last season Battlestar Galactica, and the 1980s Robin of Sherwood (Netflix). I am also thinking of Netflixing Dead Like Me, getting my hands on new British stuff, the Doctor Who Christmas Special, and sports. I am not really worried about having something to watch. I’d much rather watch new episodes of Pushing Daisies, Life, etc but I can make due with Netflixing DS9 or other long series until they sort out their guild issues.

Stockpiling? That’s what I ALWAYS do. I’m a college student and thus have months of being busy, busy, busy and then long breaks (Christmas, Spring, Summer) in which I have all the free time in the world (even a 9-5 summer job still gives me much more TV watching time than college does). So, I always have one or two can’t miss shows during the school year and then have huge TV binges where I get through entire seasons during breaks. I like it, because some shows are actually much better when seen all at once than seen a week at a time (especially really pulpy shows like Grey’s Anatomy).

I have been so bored, I’ve checked out tv I didn’t have “time” for before. I saw “chuck”. Not too bad. Not great either. As for stock piling, I have been guilty of that. What is the rush? Especially when we have “american gladiators” to look forward to. LOL Only if the gladiators are naked.
Hey tv addict, do u think this writer’s strike has one good side to it? Maybe now FOX will NOT cancel any original programming until the episodes air. Say “Jezebel James” and “terminator”? Just a tim thougth.

I’ve been stocking up on shows since early summer. If there has been a show I am even marginally interested in I TiVo it, transfer it to my computer and store in on my external hard drive. I’ve got entire seasons of a bunch of shows I have never even watched. I will be good for quite a while.

And I have taken to recording reruns of the shows that everyone else raves about that I have never seen – The Office and 30 Rock being the ones I have recently added.

It still doesn’t lessen the pain of the shelved season of 24 that was to start in January though. I am in dire need of a Soul Patch fix.

I’ve been saving up Weeds, My Name Is Earl and Dexter to tide me over once we’re stuck in rerun and reality hell. I was saving Samantha Who but ended up just deleting them to make room.

I have yet to watch the last new episode of “The Office”
I have almost every episode of “Chuck” to watch
I have several episodes of “Pushing Daisies”
I had “Gossip Girl,” but then I got hooked and watched 5 episodes in one day.

Thursday night comedy rocks. Even though I’m a die-hard fan of “The Office” (the last episode was the first one I have never watched live in 3 years–I had college apps due the next day!), I’m really starting to love “30 Rock.” Even though they kind of mock a lot of my politics (but in a semi-loving way, especially compared to Studio 60 lol), I think it’s’ hilarious. Unlike “The Office,” it’s actually consistently funny, and Alec Baldwin is so awesome. With that said, when “The Office” is good, it’s the best show on TV; I just wish it was more consistent.
