I am rarely home when my favorite shows are on, so I program my trusty VCR (the machine still serves a purpose in my life). I record Blind Date and reruns of Friends, Frasier, and Seinfeld every week day. I also record the first run episodes of Frasier and Friends. Now-a-days I record Friends because I am watching Survivor.

Alyoshka 02-23-01 01:39 PM

I personally don't record very much just because I set the shows I want to watch around my schedule. But if a meeting or something comes up I will record survivor, boston public, and the practice.

I should get a Tivo and so should you!

Bandoman 02-23-01 01:42 PM

I should get TiVo too. The shows I won't miss each week:

NYPD Blue
West Wing
ER

Now if I can only find time to watch all this crap. I still haven't gotten around to watching the last few episodes of Dallas and Knot's Landing.(I sure hope the Beta in the closet still works! :))

Danny in Yorktown, VA.

benedict 02-24-01 03:57 AM

I don't suffer much from program clashes but will sometimes time shift when things are on that I feel like watching another day.

On a digital channel I sometimes tape reruns of <b>The Larry Sanders</b> show - which I think is absolutely fantastic by the way; all those quirky, needy characters! I don't know which I like best but Artie certainly rocks! They are on late at night weekdays with the whole five repeated on Saturday nights. So if I'm in I might have a Larry Sanders fest between 9 and 11-30 otherwise the VCR takes over!
