Hey Kids! Do You Know What Time It Is?

I've made enough references in my previous posts about my TV viewing habits that I thought that I might explain exactly what they are. I guess the best place to start is with a run down of the shows that, for me at least, are must see TV (my apologies to NBC for borrowing their tag line).

Sunday: Alias (ABC, 9/8c); Crossing Jordan (NBC, 10/9c)
Monday: Everwood (WB, 9/8c); CSI: Miami (10/9c)
Tuesday: Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (Bravo, 10/9c)
Wednesday: Enterprise (UPN, 8/7c); The West Wing (NBC, 9/8c); Angel (WB, 9/8c);
Thursday: Survivor: All-Stars (CBS, 8/7c); CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (CBS, 9/8c)
Friday: Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda (Sci Fi, 8/7c); Stargate SG-1 (Sci Fi, 9/8c)
Saturday: No specific programs

So there you go, that's the basic schedule...mostly. Spike (the first channel for men, which is a good thing with Lifetime & Oxygen starting their slow domination over the hearts and souls of all television viewers) has recently begun broadcasting Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Monday through Friday evenings. Also, I watch two programs on TechTV, Call for Help & The Screen Savers everyday. I know, I know, that seems a bit much. When you add it up, that's 27 total hours of viewing. And that doesn't include any channel surfing or movies that might catch my eye.

So how does a busy person keep up with all of this? Well, honestly, I wouldn't know - I'm not a busy person. As I said in my very first post...I get up, get ready to go to work, go to work, work, come home from work, watch TV, eat dinner (when there's food in the apartment), watch more TV, get ready for bed, read, go to sleep. However, I do have a trick up my sleeve that helps to even out the viewing and makes sure that if I were to actually go out that I wouldn't miss anything. Yes, I have a PVR (or personal video recorder, aka DVR - digital video recorder, aka TiVo). Right now there are about 7 or 8 movies that I recorded that I haven't gotten around to watching or been in the mood to watch including Apocalypse Now Redux, Serendipity and The Secret of Roan Inish.

Alright, that's it. Nothing profound or life-shaking. Just thought you should know. Oh, one more thing. For those of you who don't get the title reference just click on it and all shall be revealed
