The Glades…and Rizzoli and Isles Anything to do with family of love lives. I just watch for the horrible, horrible police work. ---

Even though it is just the previouslies and the commercials, I feel like I FF through most of _Breaking Bad_. ---

> [@Shark\_Sandwich](#): > > The first two and (usually) the last seven minutes of _The Colbert Report_. The applause sign stays on waaaaay too long at the beginning, and I’m not a big fan of Colbert’s style of interviewing his guests. I’m still working on having perfect timing to stop exactly on Jon Stewarts ffirst words of The Daily Show because the audience noise and opening are so damned loud and irritating. ---

> [@Shark\_Sandwich](#): > > The first two and (usually) the last seven minutes of _The Colbert Report_. The applause sign stays on waaaaay too long at the beginning, and I’m not a big fan of Colbert’s style of interviewing his guests. Isn’t the interview the very last thing on The Colbert Report? Why would you fast-forward it instead of just not watching it? I don’t have a DVR, but I’d probably skip through everything on “Dancing With The Stars” other than the bits where the stars actually dance. I only watch the first few minutes and the last few minutes of the results episodes, for instance. ---

The Superbowl. The only reason to watch it is the commercials and half-time show. It only happens one a year, but I make sure I never actually have to see any football. ---

_The Porn Hour_. Usually the first ten minutes hold nothing of interest. The last 45 minutes, too. ---

> [@hogarth](#): > > Isn’t the interview the very last thing on The Colbert Report? Why would you fast-forward it instead of just not watching it? Because I guess I have borderline OCD. I can’t just stop watching it. For some reason, I _need_ to fast forward until my DVR asks if I want to save it or delete it, and then I delete. Guess it’s the same reason why when I’m looking at the on-screen television guide (Comcast/Xfinity), I have to scroll all the way to the first HD listing, and then work my way back down the list to see what’s on.
