Gah. I'm going to have to break down and get a new Tivo or Tifaux that can record more than one channel.

Well, I think the TC problem goes away next week when TCLV goes back into the 10 pm slot.

I'm so happy I went for the double DVR. Sundays have become my problem now that Mad Men is back on.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The only thing I do not hate about my Cablevision TiFaux is its ability to record 2 channels at once.

I actually have a dual tuner but it doesn't work with satellite.

I live in fear of fall Thursdays. Fringe is up against Supernatural, and SYTYCD is on, too.

Yeah, I ended up dropping Supernatural because of conflicts.

Because books.

Aw! I can hear Dean crying manly tears from here.

I tried, I really did. It was just too much TV.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, Sundays are crazy right now. But I had the dual tuner Tivo from the start because that's the way the Directv one works. And I know they're not together anymore, so you can have mine when you pry it from my cold dead hands.

I forgot about Project Runway. I rely on you guys to remind me of stuff, because I cleared all my season passes over the summer when the family was here. I didn't want it to accidentally record something their lickle 'uns shouldn't be watching.

But now I forget what I had set and am restoring them one by one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm annoyed every year when Top Chef changes the official name of the show, so I have to set a new pass for it, or whatever you call that on a non-Tivo. And I didn't even know what channel Lifetime is, so I had to search out PR, too! But I did learn there's some kind of special before the premiere and the new model show after. As you'll recall, "Models, this is also a competition for you as well."

Crap, that means I'll miss part of the reair of Leverage at 11.

For the first time, I'll actually be watching Leverage on time since I decided that, with the +15min, it made more sense to tape TC:LV and TCM in the middle of the night.

I'm just glad that SYTYCD has finished because Wednesdays have been killer, which is all the more frustrating since I have very few shows I watch. They're just all on the same night of late.

Is anyone else looking forward to Trinny and Susannah's new show?
