TV Addicted Turtle

A Turtle and her TiVo.

What happens when you miss just one night on the TiVo? October 20, 2006

You mess up your entire TV schedule.  I think I watched Monday shows on Tuesday and one Tuesday show (Gilmore Girls) and then Wednesday was dedicated to all of Tuesday’s shows, Thursday we finished watching Weds shows (luckily Weds is our slimmest day) and tonight we’ll finish Thursday’s shows and then MAYBE watch Friday’s shows…..I really watch too much TV.  But it’s free entertainment, who can beat free*??

So let’s see, I read on ‘The Remote’ that 30 Rock and 20 Good Years aren’t doing so hot in the ratings, surprised? Not me…..30 Rock sucks, so why even stick around for 20 Good Years?  Even though I LOVE 20 GYs….I can see it getting cancelled.  NBC really needs to broaden their horizions when it comes to show types.  They are sticking to the stupid comedies and law dramas, granted this season they finally got out of their law and doctor drama rut and found Studio 60 and Friday Night Lights but still….they need people who actually WATCH TV choosing shows and not some suits who read focus group reports.  NBC used to be THE Network, then CBS stole that from them and now ABC is starting to steal the spotlight from CBS.  There have been times when I forget that NBC even exists….sad.

So hopefully this weekend I’ll get caught up on the TiVo and get my schoolwork done and won’t have to disappear for a week to finish my final project.  I’ll post when something relevant happens on TV…..maybe….if I get to see it happen, that is.

*yes, I know that TV isn’t really FREE, we pay a sattellite bill, but at least we aren’t charged per hour….damn THAT would be a big bill!
