TV. Just Enough Of It.

Because I watch so much tv, some of it actively, some of it is "something to have on while I do other things" and some of it is just plain "this is soothingly edited and narrated so I fall asleep to it" I thought it would be interesting (to me, anyway) to list what is on my DVR and put it into some sort of context for my own amusement.

I discovered there are fully 96 things set to auto-record (i took off 4 things that had been canceled since I last went through the list). 

Writing out the "story behind everything on this list" would be an exercise in explaining why I watch such shameful reality tv, or how I can’t stop watching a cop drama that has gotten top far past its prime, but as a completist, I am so far into it, I need to see it through to the end. So far, the process has been mostly "Man, I am grateful for television because I am not sure there are enough books on my reading list to keep me from falling into a pit of passive boredom."

On the other hand, I had been feeling like I might spend too much money on cable, but looking at how much tv I watch makes me realize that I actually really use the service to its fullest without watching the news, sports, or Survivor. And that’s not a bad thing.
