It sucks! It's the late timeslot's fault!

I can't stay up till 4:30 anymore, because I get so drained. (I'm in my last semester at college, so I've got a heavy workload!) Then I tried going to bed early and getting up at 4:30, but my roommate started to complain that having the TV on then bothers her (I keep the volume close to mute that late, though!) And I don't have a programmable VCR, so I'm out of luck. I am going to try to tune in sporadically. If this were on at, say, midnight, this wouldn't be a huge problem. But the 4 o'clock hour?! That's ungodly! "Wings" got a huge premiere, and a good time slot, but "HOTC" didn't (neither did "Perfect Strangers"). If there is an online petition out against this late time...let me know! Better yet, I'll see if I can start one myself!

ETA: so I did!

I can't program my VCR, either, so I bought the VCR co-pilot. It works wonders! You just punch in when you want to start recording, point this gizmo at the TV and it does the rest! I love it!
