I'm telling you, appointment-viewing is for the birds. Tivo, or its non-brand-name equivalent, will change your relationship with television forever. I literally can't remember the last time I watched live TV (and by extension, commercials.) And because I only watch what I want to watch, I never surf anymore, which means my overall watching is actually down.

Things my freeware-running box is currently set to record for me:

Colbert Report
Eureka
Psych
Burn Notice
Charlie & Lola
Battlestar Galactica

Okay, you got me, Charlie & Lola is not for me. But the others, I never miss a single episode, so I guess I would qualify as addicted. Except for the part where it never interferes with my daily life.

That's the chink in my armor. I don't get anything related to "current events" - because they don't package these daily things on DVD. But, again, I fall back on the internet. If anything interesting happened, anywhere, it's on the internet. It's like a highlight reel. With no single "editor" ...

I am totally addicted to this show, but I am even more addicted to Mad Men, which is on at the same time. Last night, I fell asleep before Burn Notice came on again at 1 AM, and now I'm going a little nuts (I have no TiVo).
