With all the new shows and all the new episodes of the older shows, are you having trouble keeping up with them? One night I had 4 VCR's recording. :eek:

It's like there's this great big video schmogasbord. So many sitcoms I like that I just focus on the one's I love or am very fond of.

I've only committed myself to three new shows this season, Back To You, Damages, and I'll give Caveman a try, and a few others on HBO. I got burned last year with a few dramas that left viewers high and dry with no answers. Vanished, Daybreak, The Nine, Smith, to name a few. If a show becomes a hit now, I'll find a way to catch up.

I'm not bothered when a sitcom fails, just disappointed. I liked last year's, 'Help Me, Help You', but when it was cancelled, it wasn't as if there was a cliffhanger or unanswered questions.

We got one in the living room and then 3 for the bedrooms. One has a DVD/VCR recorder on it but I can't figure out how to record using the DVD part. You can't just push the record button.:lol:

I absolutely agree Janice. I make my decision on whether to stick with new shows very early on. I absolutely refuse to commit to a serialized show with so-so ratings. I have been burned a lot of times by networks ( ABC being the worst) that cancel shows in midseason without any regards to the fans of these shows.


As for the new shows, I have my VCRs working OT right now and I'm sampling quite a few of these new shows. I'll probably drop some of them within the next few weeks.

Oh I was so upset when Help Me, Help You was removed. I liked it. :(

Well, I bought a DVD recorder today. It is a dual DVD/VHS. This way I can record what I have on VHS tapes. I already played around with it today and I am so glad I bought it. I hadn't recorded on VHS in so long because I didn't want to spend money on blank tapes that only take up lots of room.

I am :rofl: at Ann's comment abt Sam's selling VHS by the dozen! That is funny. :lol: I bought this huge stack of blank DVD's to record on. :lol:
