PROVE IT!!!! What's on your timer list on your DVR? If you don't have a DVR, what do you watch? Don't be shy, list it all.

Here's mine. Wow, I watch waayyyyyyyyyy too much TV. Unless indicated it's my dh's show, I watch every episode. Sometimes I have to get creative and record things on Friday or Saturday, or at midnight in the case of my TNT shows. I had to remove Dancing with the Stars from my list this season, since I have some conflicts. I'm sad about that. :( DVR makes it all possible to watch WAAAY too much tv. If I didn't have a DVR, I would have maybe a 1/4 of those shows. I NEVER watch anything live anymore. It wastes too much of my time watching commercials. I'm pathetic, huh?

I don't really watch any shows while they're running, I almost always watch them in syndication. I watch Full House and What I like About You most days, but not every day (they come on ABC Family during the afternoon after I get home from classes and am winding down). If I catch Cold Case or Without a Trace on I always watch them - they are probably my favorite shows. I actually did watch the season premier of Without a Trace the other night but that's probably the first time I've ever watched an episode when it originally aired.

Oh, I usually try to catch the Biggest Loser when it's running, but I forget about it a lot. I love that show ... But I don't really watch anything at a set time, each week, and I am okay if I miss an episode since I watch most shows in syndication anyway.

I was on my elliptical last night watching ER and a couple commercials came on for season premiers such as Amazing race and cold case and I applauded - DH looked at me like I was insane and his comment was:
"Yeah? You're glad all your friends are back?"
I'm about to leave work, but I'll be back to prove my couch potatoness is pretty high! LOL....got the butt and gut to prove it (well that's really not something to be proud of huh?) - note I started this with "I was on my elliptical last night" so I'm working on that. LOL

PROVE IT!!!! What's on your timer list on your DVR? If you don't have a DVR, what do you watch? Don't be shy, list it all.

OK...there is no way I can match what's on your dvr. WOW! :eek:

All I can counter with is my sports Sunday. I have watched the following games on tv...

-Giants/S'hawks football
-Dolphins/Chargers football
-Phillies/Brewers baseball
-Rays/White Sox baseball
-Niners/Pats football

the above watched via dvr so no commercials.

-Red Sox/Angels baseball LIVE because I can't stand not knowing what's going on
-Steelers/Jaguars football recording to watch after the Sox game

This might be my favorite Sunday of the year. :D
