tivo – mans best friend
This morning I finally got around to getting my TiVo ready for this fall tv season. It’s probably going to be smoking under the hood for awhile because there are a lot of good shows this year. So here’s my rundown on what I’ve got TiVoing…
First off, mondays are looking great, How I Met Your Mother (which is really funny) and of course Heroes, I wouldn’t miss that for anything. New shows I’m going to try out are K-ville, The Big Bang Theory (only because I love Garden State, and the kid from Garden State is in this show, he was the kid in the armored suit, only one of my favorites parts), and I’m giong to give Journeyman a one night shot at making me a believer… I have little hopes for it. I love CSI, but Miami has gotten so lame, I will probably only watch the premiere to see what this hype about H having a son is all about.
Tuesdays are little slow, the biggest show of the night by far is House. This is going to be an interesting year since everybody walked out on him last season. (dont worry they are all coming back – just not in the same position) The only other show I have TiVoed is a new show called Carpoolers, I’m only giving it a shot because it was created by one of the stars of Kids in the Hall. That’s it for me on Tuesdays, I’m really not a fan of the Unit… it just never panned out for me, which is sad because I love David Mamet.
The only returning show for Wednesdays is CSI:NY. Which is turing out to be better than expected. As far as new shows on that night I’m going to give several of them a shot… Back to You, Pushing Daises, and Dirty Sexy Money. The 2 new shows that I got a season pass for are Private Practice (for my wife of course, he he he) and Bionic Woman.
Thursdays are easily the toughest night because of the great Grey’s, CSI, Office dilemma. What were they thinking putting them all up against one another. Anyway, if you havent heard the first 4 episodes of the office are an hour long… holy crap, thats going to be awesome. Anyway, I will have to watch one of those three shows live, which is so devastating (oh how you’ve spoiled me TiVo). Other shows that night are 30 Rock (I love Alec Baldwin, the show would suck without him), My Name is Earl, and Without a Trace. There is one other on Thursdays thats a cable show, if you haven’t seen It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia you should (its on FX). If your easily offended then don’t, but if you can handle a little raunch… then check it out, its one of the funniest shows on tv.
That’s it for me, Fridays are pretty lame, but its ok because I think I’ve got enough from all the other days to keep me busy through the weekend.
