So do you guys TiVo your favorites so you can watch when you want, or watch more than once? Or do you TiVo because there are two programs you like that are on at the same time and you can’t watch both? That’s how I use it. I don’t have much to do in the evenings, so I sit down for my favorites and don’t TiVo them. ---

Look, here is the list: air, water, food, Tivo, shelter. How _un-necessary_ does that make it? huh? huh?

I had to return my TiVo, but I’m getting a new one tomorrow (hopefully, it’s scheduled to be delivered then). My season pass will probably be: Xena (reruns, on two different channels) Harvey Birdman Boondocks Family Guy American Dad House Susan ---

Yes and yes. > [@](#): > > Or do you TiVo because there are two programs you like that are on at the same time and you can’t watch both? Yes. I like to “set it and forget it”. The only show that I absolutely make sure to watch live is “Lost”. If I’m home when the other shows are one, fine. If not, fine, too. I do save “Lost” because my group likes to re-watch the previous week’s episode right before watching the latest one. ---

We have something like 35-40 shows on Season Pass at any given time, but they’re not all shows that air regularly (like _The Shield_ or _Rescue Me_). I’ll see how many I can remember, in no particular order: Lost Veronica Mars Smallville Arrested Development Good Eats Justice League Unlimited Battlestar Galactica The Shield Rescue Me My Name Is Earl The Office In Justice Law & Order Teen Titans Naruto (hubby’s) The Simpsons Family Guy Dinner for Five Henry’s Film Corner The Daily Show The Colbert Report Late Night with Conan O’Brien Bones (which now conflicts with Lost & Veronica Mars) Beverly Hills 90210 (reruns on SoapNet) WWE Monday Night Raw (hubby’s) WWE Friday Night Smackdown (also hubby’s) TNA Impact! The Boondocks The Venture Brothers (whenever it’s on again) Robot Chicken (also awaiting new episodes) Kids in the Hall Monty Python South Park MXC Incredible Hulk (sometimes SciFi shows reruns of the old Ferrigno show) That’s 35. I think I’ve figured out why we have no social life… ---

Hustle! I knew I forgot something and I’m ashamed to say I did! Oh how I love this show. It’s a BBC show brought over by AMC after they invested in the third season so that they could have production rights here in the states. Hustle is an amazing Oceans 11 / The Sting sort of show. You’ve got to check it out if you haven’t. But be forewarned Tivoers, the show runs 75 minutes (BBC shows have no commercials, so it natively runs for 60, AMC chucks in 15 minutes of commercials). Oh god I am so ashamed to have forgotten my beloved Hustle. ---
