Comment on Have your TV viewing habits been forever changed by DVR technology? by Lynn

This sounds very similar to how I do things. I don’t have a schedule like you do, but I do find myself taking the time to spend fifteen minutes or so a week going through the guide picking out anything I might like to watch in the upcoming week. Like you, I usually watch a few days later.

The only thing I watch in real time is the news at 6 PM. I usually take the TV Guide from the Sunday paper, circle all the shows I care to watch and then program them into my Cox Cable DVR. In many cases there are two desirable shows on at the same time and the DVR makes it easy to catch both. Then I just watch them at my leisure, usually 1-3 days after they originally aired. I do this with cable channels as well as broadcast channels. I have been doing this for a couple of years and love it. I am no longer forced to watch TV at a certain time. And, Yes, I do FF through the commercials.

Same here. I wanted it to all be a trick, I might have quit watching if it wasn’t.

Comment on Doctor Who 2009 Specials? by Renee

It appears that the 2009 specials will be fantastic, I’m sure. The first special will actually air December 25th 2008.

The “Christmas” special will feature the return of the Cybermen (those designed by Cybus Industries in the parallel universe). Supposedly, it will feature a new type of Cyberman called Cybershade, and a character named the CyberKing. You can watch a preview trailer here (depending on where you’re located as they’ve only made it available in the UK and a few other spots): http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/misc/news/index.shtml?media=2

As for the rest of the specials, there is one slated to be aired around Easter 2009 and another on Christmas Day 2009.

There’s also the news that David Tenant will not be returning for the next run of this series in 2010 for the fifth year run. Here’s a link to the official article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/misc/news/index.shtml

While this doesn’t really say that in 2009 the specials will be focused on either the Time War/Time Lords or if the Master will be in the mix, you can never say as this series has so many twists and turns…you never know! ;-)

I got a feeling the 2009 Dr Who Specials are going to be fantastic. I hope they cover the time war and feature the 8th Doctor. Will the outcome of the 2009 Specials be the return of the Time Lords? Will the Master be behind it all or the Rani.

Comment on Chuck, as Delicious as Ever by Renee

Hey, Lynn!

I watched the premier of Chuck this week, and thought it was good. While I’ve not been that much of a fan of the show, I’ve found that I do enjoy the hope of romance between Chuck and Sarah. That little spark is enough to give me something to keep watching for… :-)

Maybe, just maybe theyâ€™ll give us little teasers for whether or not the series will return in 2010â€¦

But we already know that it will return in 2010 – http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6976178.stm

And we know who will be running it – http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7411177.stm
