DVR

After a major-league VCR FUBAR last weekend (which resulted in us missing the finale of THE COMPLEX: MALIBU and the third episode of WORST WEEK OF MY LIFE on BBCAmerica; if anyone can provide copies, please e-mail me at cgaldieri-at-yahoo-dot-com) we bit the bullet and signed up for a DVR box from our local cable company.

We've had it for less than 8 hours and I'm already in love.

We taped SMALLVILLE and LOST at the same time, as well as the debate. TNT is showing the "Smile Time" episode of ANGEL tomorrow so I'm recording that one just for fun. I've programmed it to tape every new episode of CSI, WITHOUT A TRACE, TEEN TITANS, JUSTICE LEAGUE, SOUTH PARK, LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION, and SCRUBS. We'll give the new season of ENTERPRISE a try, as well as VERONICA MARS.

I am giddy with delight and in awe of the DVR's power.

There is the love of a man for a woman, and then there is the love of a man for a fine Cuban cigar, and then there is the love of a man for his DVR.
