Thursdays @ 9PM are the absolute worst for me this year...

Supernatural, Fringe, The Office/Community (?maybe), Grey's Anatomy (for the wife), and CSI all at the same time.

Even with two DVR's running, that leaves something not taped/watched. Personally I vote Grey's Anatomy, but, uh, then I'd be voting for "no sex", so I guess that one has to stay.



what time/night sucks for you?

Superman07

ABC.com usually has Grey's up in HD. Could not the wife go that route? I usually find that the most convenient (aside from having to click "proceed" after each commercial break).

Get a 3rd DVR?

Hook up that VCR that's collecting dust?

Wait for reruns?

Or like Superman says, watch something online.. and I vote for that it's something you watch, seeing that Grey's is the only thing she's asking for.



I don't see any conflicts for us ... so far.
We do have 3 dvr's.

Are you on cable or satellite?

On satellite you would probably have the east and west feeds, tape some on the east and some on the west.

Luckily for me here in Canada Heroes and House air on the same channel, so because of that we will get Heroes Sunday at 10. That was my only chance for conflict.

Our landscape does lead to some weird schedules though. Global only has 1 comedy from the NBC Thursday block (The Office) so they are pairing it with til Death.

The way I deal with kind of problem, is if there's a conflict, I usually will stick with already established shows, that I've watched from the start that I like, and if something new comes on in that time slot that conflicts, I'll stick with what I know is already good, especially since now a days, stuff gets canceled way too quickly. If I have extra time, I'll check it out online if it's available, or buy the DVD when it comes out.

I have two dual-tuners, so I've not had to confront this problem for a few years. My biggest conflict is Mondays at 8:00 -- I've got House and Heroes on the first DVR and HIMYM on the second DVR.

Do you buy any of those shows on DVD? If you're going to pick up (for example) the Supernatural DVD anyway, you may consider skipping it until the season sets come out.

I'm not sure how attached you are to each show, but in my house, Supernatural, Fringe and The Office are mandatory. CSI and Grey's would be my choices for ditching - try to catch them online...

I guess you don't have timeshifting eh? I only have 1 dvr and could tape 4 of these (2 on east coast feed, 2 on west) - so if I had 2 dvr's it would be no problem at all... if my cable provider ever got rid of the time shifting channels, I'd be screwed.

TGM

yeah, I have directv... no east/west coast feeds available to me..

I'm pretty sure CSI will be the one to go....... (again, I would eliminate Gray's)... hopefully one of them will reair on Friday nights and just record at that time? I think Gray's did that last year... or the year before...

I have the exact same conflict. I'm watching The Office/Community/30 Rock on Hulu.

My upstairs DVR will record CSI and Fringe and my downstairs will record Grey's and Supernatural.

Also, look out for shows that run 1-2 mins longer. That will screw up for your DVR as well.

Thurs at 8pm are also a problem with Flash Forward, Survivor, Vampire Diaries, Bones and Parks and Recreation at 8:30pm. I think if I stick w/ Parks, it's also going on Hulu

My only serious conflict these days with all the DVRs I have is which shows rate for HD as I still have SD Tivos in use. I'm hoping for that full on whole house HDTivo upgrade but it won't be this year.

DJariya

There is no Friday re-airs for Grey's this season since they moved Ugly Betty to that day. Friday is full w/ Supernany, Ugly Betty and 20/20.

You can watch CSI on CBS.com and there is a very good chance you can watch it off Netflix in their streaming section (if you have Netflix) since they have a deal with CBS. Last season every episode of all the CSI's was posted on Netflix the day after it aired.

TGM

yeah... no netflix, but I might consider... I'm not a big fan of watching episodes on the computer... the pisser is, looking at the upcoming guide on my dvr, looks like CBS is reairing episodes of CSI on Saturday nights (but ones from 2008), derrr.

ChrisHicks

Another option if you have it is On Demand. I was just looking through mine on Comcast and they have some of the CBS shows there(all 3 CSIs for example) and they even have them in HD.
