I'm talking about DRIVE'S official time slot, Mondays at 8pm...the opposite of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER (which I'm enjoying this season more than last). It's really not fair--I believe it shouldn't be allowed that shows featuring Jossverse people, or any people from any show that inspired a rabid fanbase--air opposite each other. I do own a VCR, but at that time, I'm usually still in bed (I work from 12am to 12pm) so I basically have to sacrifice one show or the other...or much-needed sleep.

Never watched How I Met Your Mother, not really a sitcom fan. For me, as long as it doesn't interfere with Heroes, I'm shiny.

I don't actually know much about Tivo...other than what Rosie O'Donnell used to say about it when she had her own show. How much does it cost?

It's about $100 plus however much your cable or satellite costs...it's the best thing ever in the whole world. Automatically records shows for the whole season, you can pause and rewind tv for those" did I really just see that" moments, and it never requires you to buy, unwrap, or find a tape...as you can tell I'm hooked

Unfortunately sounds a little steep for me at the moment, but I still might look into it.

Thanks!

And you people call yourselves nerds?

Mythtv all the way. It's the linux based open source tivo alternative. And you get to customize and have all sorts of linux related fun.

It works great once you get it all figured out.

Who needs sleep?

Seriously, even if you don't get an official TIVO, if you have cable or satellite your company probably offers their own dvr box. I got one from my cable company, and it costs just $5.95 extra per month. I can record two different things at the same time, and I also have three vcrs, so I miss nothing I'm interested in.

As for Drive's airtime, I think it's perfect. 24 is one of their most popular show, and they've already started promoting Drive during that show, so it should get a lot of exposure.

Whuh-wait.

Isn't Drive on Fox? 8 Monday is Prison Break's slot! Are they gonna cancel that too?

Frak. I already have three shows on Monday: Prison Break, Heroes, and Dr. Who. Two of whom are on at 8.
