We have a real struggle going on in the Bogie household. We are mightily trying not to get too far behind, but the struggle is almost overwhelming.
We go to bed early enough that everything we watch on TV is taped for later viewing. There are 3 shows that we watch; 24, CSI (the original) and Battlestar Galactica. Our struggle is trying to keep the amount of tapes used to a minimum (thus our confusion as to which tape has the next episode of what we want to watch be kept to a minimum also).
See, we really only watch TV at dinner. Dinner is usually served somewhere between 7 and 8. I go to bed somewhere between 8 and 8:30. If we eat closer to 7, we have time to watch a taped show. If we eat closer to 8, we don't so we either turn to the Man channel and "watch" re-runs of CSI or go to the History channel and watch whatever is on.
Wednesday night we finally watched the Battlestar Galactica from 2 weeks ago, last week's is still on tape. Monday, we watched 24 from 2 weeks ago - another episode was taped that same night. Last night we got thru CSI from last week (only because I failed to turn off the VCR a couple of Thursdays ago, so the CSI from 2 weeks ago did not get taped), but last night it taped another episode.
We have 3 tapes going to date and the only reason that they are segregated by show is that we are only one week behind on everything. one tape held Battlestar Galactica, wth CSI next, then Battlestar Galactica again We got the first 2 shows watched, and that tape now resides above the machine for future watching.
Every new season is like this - our watching season doesn't end for at least a month after the shows have gone to reruns.
Movies haven't fared any better - I don't believe we have watched a movie since Thanksgiving when we watched Ice Age 2 over at Jimmy's. We have movies on DVD (we only watch 3-5 movies a year, so I am really picky about what I pick up), we have the Earth 2 DVD's (we loved that when it was on), we have 2 more seasons of 24 to catch up on (season's 3 and 4). At the rate we watch stuff, we will be retired before we actually see some of the stuff on that list.
We can't imagine how others manage to spend as much time in front of the tube as statistics say they do (and apparently, someone is making up for the time we don't spend watching).
