tv talk

Patrick and I are into SVU. Usually, new ones come on after The Biggest Loser on Tuesday nights. Apparently tonight was some kind of important Biggest Loser because we did not have a new SVU. Bummer.

We are considering getting a tivo. I (Becky) am cheap. I don't like anything that involves extra monthly expenses, even though they are small. We follow several shows, but that's not really the reason for the tivo. The plan is to restrict tv watching to an hour a night, and just watch our specified show (if we have one that day) and spend the rest of the evening being more productive or having more quality time together and/or with others. So we will record the shows we follow and watch them in the designated time and then the tv goes off. I won't lie, sometimes after work I am totally drained and camp out on the couch. So we shall see.

Tivo or no tivo? Your thoughts?

Greatest invention of the last 100 years. Better than the iPod and the movable type printing press.

we are trying to limit tv watching as well in the evenings... its amazing how productive we can be! we dont have a tivo tho.. b/c of the monthly payments. we dont have cable either tho so our watching options are very limited :-)

We are limiting our TV watching also, so Tivo definitely comes in handy. You can watch your set amount of TV whenever you want, and you get to skip the commercials!
