Brothers & Sisters, Family Guy, American Dad, The Simpsons, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Heroes, Glee, Fringe, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Office, Parks & Recreation.

Shows I haven't watched yet this season, but plan to: Smallville, Dollhouse, The Cleveland Show, House, Castle (watched the season premiere at least)
Shows under advisement, but may not watch: Community, Vampire Diaries.

Shows I'm trying to watch: FlashForward (only watched the premiere, but the other episodes are in the Hulu queue), Trauma.

Shows I rejected: Mercy (which just got a full season order... yippie...)

Dang it, why am I watching so many half hours...?

I saw the first three episodes of Community before they moved its timeslot, and it was fantastic. Community is on Hulu and you've had like 4 of the last 7 days off, including today. Take the 66 fucking minutes to watch the 3 episodes you missed.

I know that sounds like an easy thing to do, but it is surprisingly difficult. Finding an hour where there's not something else to be watched, do work/chores, sleep, or other social obligation can be tough. Yesterday was the first free day I've had in a couple weeks where I didn't have a giant activity planned and I still was only able to watch the season premiere of "Castle" and a couple other half hour shows. Lousy TV watching deficit! ... Am I really ranting about this?

or just get a DVR. most come w/a $100 rebate

Hulu and iTunes have effectively ended my need for a DVR. A good thing too, because with Comcast's new cable boxes, I am no longer able to use Windows Media Center as my DVR.

I guarantee you there's nothing else worth watching on right now, no chores to be done, and no social obligations since it's a weekday so everyone's at work/school.

I know I want to be catching up on "Community" right now... alas.

Sad thing is, I do... However, DirecTV has something in its signal prohibiting me from connecting it to the computer without it becoming black & white and the sound becoming screwy. I also don't have a receiver in my room, which would be better to hook up to the computer anyway. And I had a choice, I could pay for Netflix or the DVR service on the satellite as both cost about the same (plus the one time upgraded receiver for the DVR). I chose NetFlix.
