driven crazy by tv

I've decided that television executives at the various networks are conspiring to drive me insane. Me, personally. Do they have to put so many shows that I watch on at the same day/time? There are lots of nights out there where they are just airing the latest reality crap or police procedural clone. Do we really need five versions of Law & Order or CSI?

Mondays and Thursdays are just about impossible for me. Thank goodness for internet viewing. Otherwise, I'd have to make some tough choices... Really - how do you choose on Thursdays between NBC's comedy block, Bones on Fox, and Vampire Diaries/Supernatural on the CW? All completely different creatures and all really good.

Do you have viewing conflicts? How do you make your decision? Do you watch online?

  1. When I had a DVR in my living room, it was easy. I would record shows during the packed timeslots and watch them when there was nothing else on. Now that I only have a DVR in my bedroom, I have had to give up on shows. I watch The Office in repeats when Supernatural is not on. Same with How I Met Your Mother--I catch it when Chuck is a repeat. I'm not very happy that Glee is now opposite Lost. I may make hubby record that one on his DVR so we can watch on the weekend.

  2. My solution is simple -- I don't watch much TV. :P
    Even when I'm home/do have access to cable, I only pick one or two shows to get into so I won't go crazy trying to keep up with a bunch of different characters/plotlines.

  3. I had dvr when I was living in my parents' garage apartment - I mooched off of their satellite subscription. I miss it terribly...
    My apartment only allows cable and the fees that I would have to pay to get dvr are ridiculous, so I depend on online viewing to make up the difference. Thank goodness for Hulu.

  4. I still prefer to watch TV on my TV. 32" and 61" screens are much more appealing than 15.6" screens!

    I need to try hooking the laptop up to the TV to watch. I have just been too lazy.
