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.
but margie!! tv is your friend. if you left your friend then it would be sad, and you dont want to make your friend sad do you? hehe reminds me of an aqua teen hunger force quote. yes yes i know no one likes that show. the quote is still funny.
Meatwad: But I thought you said television was evil.
Frylock: Oh it is. But we fucking need it.
I like aqua teen hunger force...*hides head in shame*
See, there in lies the problem-I don't have cable. If I did, watching TV would be a no brainer.
dont be ashamed kiera. ATHF rulez! i can't wait for the movie
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.
Dont do it!! Get a DVR. Best thing EVER!!!
