Our DVR.
Apparently they were too weak after ripping out our DVD player and loading up on my sports collectibles that they couldn’t carry the DVR too.
Thank goodness for that. I guess.
And thank you to the smarty who came up with the ‘ol DVR and his cousin TiVo.
Kates and I treated ourselves to one as an early Christmas present -- mostly because we’d been thinking about it for months and the cable co. gave us a good deal …
We still won’t be watching any DVDs for awhile … But from now on (hopefully), we can forget rummaging through VHS tapes or accidentally recording over something we’d meant to save, all so we could tape another show we’re unable to watch.
Yes, now we can set our precious little silver box to automatically record each and every episode all of our favorite TV shows. And then watch them freely, after work, before bed, or the next day! And we can skip the commercials!!
No longer do we have to pick just one show to watch at 8 p.m. on a Tuesday when there’s three that we want to see. And we can join in on all the shows we’ve been hearing about for years -- like ‘The Daily Show’ (which I LOVE by the way!) -- but haven’t watched because of allegiances to other shows or schedules that won’t allow it …
Wonderful, I know.
Yep. So last night -- a night that, for the past three or four years, at least, a videotape always seemed to be rolling in our house -- I waited for Kates to come home from her exercise class. And when she did, around 8 p.m., we turned back the clock -- on our TV anyway -- and watched our NBC favorites. ‘Will & Grace,’ ‘Four Kings,’ (we skipped ‘Earl.’ Frankly, I can’t understand what all the buzz is about. I watched the premiere and didn’t even chuckle. Seriously. And then when they moved it to Thursdays, I tried again, thinking maybe it would be better. Not a chance. Help me out somebody? …) ‘The Office,’ and then since ‘ER’ was a repeat we caught up on Tuesday’s nights showings of ‘Scrubs’ …
And both of us were zonked out on our couch before the end of it …
