Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

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.

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?

Only for a few more weeks! September 2 is the "Best of" episode, and then it comes back for the sixth season on 9/9 (with Glee on the same night).

Well, I have no interest in Glee, but will it be on at 10, or are they going to actually keep the SYTYCD episodes to an hour?

I think the audition premiere is going to be an hour, allowing for the Glee premiere to follow. As to the rest of the season, I don't know how they're going to run them both--I'm guessing that Glee will move to a different night.
