What will you watch LIVE tonight 2/23
All they kept talking about on the news is how tonight is packed with stuff to watch.
Which show will you watch live? If you are going to Tivo everything, pick which you will watch first.

Guess I can't enter a poll answer.

I'll probably stagger the Olympics with Survivor first and then Dancing with the Stars. There's maybe 35 minutes max of actual new material in a Survivor episode, so I'll burn through it pretty quickly. Technically, the first minutes will probably be the Olympics, so I'll vote for that.

I'm a rabid Olympics junkie, and I'm ready for the high drama of the big medal skate off tonight.
As long as I can avoid any news spoilers today, I'll be in good shape....
I don't watch Survivor, Dancing with the Stars or American Idol, so it's sort of a moot point.

I have a meeting tonight, so here's my set-up for this evening:
TiVo Tuner One: Survivor
TiVo Tuner Two: Dancing with the Stars
Live on upstairs TV: American Idol
Late night rebroadcast on TiVo: Olympics
When I get home, my wife'll tell me who got voted out and then I'll watch Survivor and get to the other stuff when I can.

I see no use for Dancing with the Stars tonight as the performances will probably just be rerun on Sunday
I'll be DVR juggling Idol, Survivor and the Olympics

I'm assuming that the skating will all be in the last hour (well, I don't care to see the performance for 6th place), so we'll probably just check out already tivoed/backlogged stuff, then watch the last hour of Olympic coverage live in HD.
I'm already a couple episodes behind on AI, I need to catch up.

I'll finish "thumbsucker" which I started a few nights ago, then at 8:30 tune into Survivor, then Roll over to the Idol results show which will be DVR'd, and then finally start watching some skating , If I don't catch the results beforehand.

I don't watch anything live. Usually after dinner, we'll watch the previous night's Daily Show & Colbert Report, and by then it's usually 8:30 or so and I can start watching whatever the Tivo has got going.
I'll probably watch AI before Survivor as I am more interested in who gets voted off AI at this point.
I don't watch the Dancing or Skating shows.

I will watch some Olympics tonight but *not* live. I'll record it so that later I can zip past events I don't care so much about and mostly the commercials. If I see one more commercial with stupid SUV's busting through snow, I will shoot out my TV screen.
While the Olympics are recording I'll watch something else off the DVR. Still have Lost, some 24, an NCIS and other stuff to get to.
So to answer the question...nothing live.

Live, I will have to go with Dancing with the Stars. I mean, it's the finale. I will DVR American Idol and the Skating for later, and I am not sure what to do with the Olympics. I want to see the ladies. I hate having Idol and Dancing with the Stars against each other.

None of the above.
A. I don't watch live tv anymore.
B. I detest despise and hate "reality" shows or "look! famous people doing stuff!" shows
C. I don't care for sports.
Wasn't American Idol on last night? And the night before? I don't necessarily want to go back to to days of 'winter/spring - new shows, summer - reruns', but I also don't like the current fads of 'double shots', multiple 'encore presentations' soon after initial showing, and multi-night programs [except for things like miniseries/tv movies].
