TV land

I'm seriously considering giving up television. I must say, I always love summer, when I'm freed from the shackles of having to watch a show at a certain time. Or even worse, tape the show and then try to watch it later. The problem there being that I only have taping capabilities, and I also only have two tapes. So I have to worry about taping over things I haven't seen yet and getting the right tape in and making sure there's even a tape in there, etc. If I had TiVo, this process would not be nearly as tedious. I know that I should probably be keeping up with the Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars eps that are showing because I missed many this last season, but I can't bring myself to care. Lawrence even has about four episodes of House on tape that I haven't watched, but everytime I go over there, I just don't feel like it. The problem is that the times I do feel like watching shows are always weird times, like late at night or Sunday afternoon. This is another reason I need TiVo. Or on demand TV! Seriously. But I think about when fall comes and I have to go back to the hassle of taping my afore mentioned shows and it just makes me get a headache. Maybe I've kicked this addiction! That would be super sweet. And now that Charmed is off the air, that's one less show to watch. Yay! I would like to say that I will give up TV completely, and maybe I will, but I dunno. I also worry about giving up TV and then being completely removed from popular culture. Weird thing to worry about, I know, but I do. I guess we'll find out in time what happens. Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion. :)

Eh, just wait and buy any show you want to watch on DVD. TV only lasts 30 minutes to an hour, but DVDs last a good two years...sometimes.

That's exactly what I was thinking! AND that way I could watch them whenever I damn well please.

See, there in lies the problem-I don't have cable. If I did, watching TV would be a no brainer.

Oh, I thought this post was going to be about Wings and Bewitched.

TV on DVD is much better than TV on TV. DeepDiscountDVD.com often has good deals on tv shows.

I LOVE Wings and Bewitched! If they still made TV like that, I wouldn't have this problem.
