What TV shows do you Tivo?
Is "Tivo" a universal verb, like "Google" now? And if so, do you capitalize it? I capitalize Google, but when I say Google, I mean Google. When I say Tivo, I mean Direct TV. Oh, btw, yeah I sold out and got a TV signal. Please disregard all my previous anti-TV rants. Netflix was too much work (ha), and we also got sick of our baby DVDs. Direct TV has a "Baby First" channel that is commercial free and has educational-type stuff running.
Anyway... My favorite stuff I record is Classic Albums, Family Guy, Futurama (before they stopped running on Cartoon Network), Star Trek: Next Generation (before they stopped running on G4), Mythbusters, and Antiques Roadshow. More "Adult Swim" shows like Xavier: Renegade Angel, Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job, Metalocalypse. Oh, also the Sarah Silverman show. Other stuff like educational documentaries and History Channel/Discovery type stuff. My wife also records Charmed and Friday the 13th: the Series.
A disproportionate amount of the stuff we record is old network TV reruns. There's too many channels, and I get overwhelmed looking for things to watch, so I just stick to what I know. We got the movie channels for free for three months, but they suck. Useless.
