Official Tivo Season Pass thread

[KingofCards]

What do you have tivoed as a season pass?

I got six feet under, hells kitchen, real world, cold case files, american justice, first 48 hours, jeopardy, and a bunch of sitcoms.

What do you guys have? I wanna make sure I ain't missing anything cool!

I just started watching a show on Bravo called "30 Days." It's a documentary series by the guy who did "Super Size Me" and follows the same premise every show. For example, the first one they had him and his girlfriend trying to get by on minimum wage for 30 days (just like in the movie he tried eating nothing but McD's for a month).

Really good show, so I added it.

I also have:
Lost (I didn't watch it the first time around)
Mythbusters
Smallville (now in reruns so I shoudl take it off, probably)
House (reruns, seen 'em)

and, the crown jewel of my season pass manager...
The Wiggles

Great idea!

This is a great thread to post when you take something OFF season pass...that's usually a big deal to people, lol.

We took West Wing off SP a year or two ago...a big decision.

Although next year, I may add ER back into our SP's...

[KingofCards]

Thanks C-Mike!


I have lost and Survivor on there as well, and the Amazing Race.

Just took off City Confidential. It had too many reruns and they switched narrators, got too boring. One of the reasons we tivoed it was because the dudes voice would put us to sleep. Good for afternoon naps!

We also got the Simpsons, Deadwood, Dharma and Greg, Yes Dear..

Wife took off Roseanne cause it conflicted with the Simpsons.

I just added 30 days. Inspired by Pariah's description.

My Name is Earl - Sep 20 NBC 8:00 PM

I'm intrigued by this show, but it shares a timeslot with House.

 

[nathan]

Here's what new shows I think are doomed to fail:
1) Commander in Chief: Does anyone actually think this is going to succeed?
2) E-Ring: If the timeslot doesn't kill it (same as Lost), a weak cast will.
3) Freddie: Pretty obvious why this will fail
4) Head Cases: Chris O'Donnell really has fallen pretty far
5) Night Stalker: Concept doesn't seem that great

As for other shows, I am excited by Threshold (aliens messing with our DNA) which has Brent Spiner, but CBS must not think that much of it if they have it on Fridays. Invasion and Surface could be good, but based on the commercials I am not that optimistic about them. Then again, I didn't expect much from Lost.

I totally agree, Geena Davis sucks and Commander in Chief is going to bomb I think.
