Desperate houswives
Grey's Anatomy
Men in Trees
Brothers and sisters
Heros
The office
Weeds although its already started
The new GA spinoff

Im sure there is more

BTW, those who have a Comcast DVR if you set your recordings last season for record new shows ie: only record new GA's then it will do it this season too w/o you having to reset it.

thanks for the link. I will add Simpsons and King of the Hill to my list. I had no idea Ghost Whisperer was still on the air. I'm still trying to catch up on Ugly Betty so I might check that out too.

Oh yes, the DVR is a wonderful thing!! Now I can watch what I watch and not be chained to the stupid tv :)

Megan- Did you see this last week's Til Death?! OMG I was laughing outloud, even at the redone intro to the show where they are dancing :biglaugh Salina watched it after I did and we started to both do that loud obnoxious singing to Alaina who thought it was funny at first and then started yelling, "Stop singing! SHUT UP!" :biglaugh Good times messing with your kids :D

Ghost Whisperer used to be a guilty pleasure of mine when my DH would go out with the guys, but it got sooooooo stupid. And I mean sooooo stupid.

I know, we still watch it :bag Although I am not sure why, I have seen enough of Jennifer Love Hewitt's cleavage to last me a lifetime...

I didn't see the intro but OMG the show was so funny. Scott was playing Crack and had headphones on and he kept turning around to see what I was laughing about. Scott and I joke that we are the real life Joy and Eddie :bag

We don't have TiVo or DVR. I don't even use the VCR anymore. If I'm not home I just miss the program.

House, Grey's Anatomy, Monk, Psych, and many more. My husband has all sorts of weird ones (IMO) set to tape - Modern Marvels, Food Network shows, etc. . . so we go back and forth about who's show "wins," meaning who gets to tape over the other's show if they are on at the same time. ;)

we don't have DVR or TIVO ....just basic...basic...cable. The only conflicts I have are with Weds. Bionic Woman & Private PRactice on at the samew time, and THursdays Grey's and CSI on at the same time... But those are BIGGIE!S

TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!! Such boredom with that show...man it won awards and I have no idea why!

I really don't know how I survived before Tivo/DVR! I am so bad at remembering when shows are on...and not only that...but the best part is you don't have to be home to still watch your shows....I think that's the best part.....ok ok ok...the best part is never having to watch commercials.......unless you're watching live tv that is.......

I don't have the dvr either, but I'm looking into it. Thurs is my only tv night. The kids have to be bathed before Survivor comes on. Then I watch CSI and ER--both of them look like they will be so good. I just can't get into ABC's shows.

Wow no one here watches what we watch:
Battlestar Gallactica
Bionic Woman
Smallville
Stargate Atlantis
Biggest Loser (ok someone said they watch that!)
Beauty and the Geek

I think that's it, about 1 show a night when we Tivo it!

Has anyone been watching Saving Grace on TNT? The season is almost over but I just watched all the episodes I had recorded on the DVR. I love this show!! It's one of my new favorites. Holly Hunter is one of my favorite actresses and she does a great job in this role.

If you guys have comcast DVR you can change that. If you go into menu, select DVR, Select scheduled recordings, move the day over to thursday and select GA, click the set or cancel a recording, select modify recording setting for this program, go down to stop recording and change it from "on time" to "1 minute late or 5 minutes late" whatever you want, go down to record program with these settings and press ok, press ok again to confirm. It should record how ever many minutes after the end of the hour that you chose! HTH

I stumbled accross that once and most of the time that works ok but it messes up my scheduling if I have two shows after it that I am recording because then it won't record one. I will have to see if I am recording anything after GA so I can tweak it :)
