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.

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!

I work 2nd shift, so I have to tape all of these in order to see them. I've had as many as 3 VCRs taping at any one time over the past 23 years.

Sunday: King of the Hill, Malcolm in the Middle, X-Files, The Practice
Monday: Boston Public, Ally McBeal, Gideon's Crossing
Tuesday: Dark Angel(schwing), NYPD Blue, Frasier
Wednesday: Ed, West Wing, Law & Order, Once and Again
Thursday: Friends, Just Shoot Me, ER, CSI
Friday: Fugitive, Law & Order: SVU
Hiatusing: Felicity, Welcome to New York

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.

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 The Larry Sanders 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!
