I'm getting annoyd with N@N, the other day I wasn't going to be home so I programed my vcr to start recording at 9:30 and when I go to watch it I have the ending of Diff'rent Strokes and like 5 commercials! Why don't they start their shows off at the right times? That's so annoying, that's wasting my tape.

That has happened to me many times!! I can also think of at least one time when FOL ran over and my tape missed the last scene. I really hate that, too!

That used to happen to me but now I start my vcr a couple of minutes early and end a couple minutes over so then I make sure I get the whole show.

they used to do that a lot a while back. I remember when FOL used to come on after the brady bunch and they used to have like 10-15 commercials then where they would have the last seen 1 minute b4 the next show was due on. so i guess that's wahst their doing now.
Just my thought tho'.
