We need a TV thread dont we?

I work nights so I dvr Dexter, 24, Chuck, House and Colbert. Daily Show instead of news. Letterman and SNL. And I record a lot of movies on HDNet Movies, a ridiculously great film channel. Now with the season over, I can catch up on movies.

Gossip Girl

EW is on Twitter and said no go on GG spinoff.
You or Julian would know - isn't there a Melrose Place redux?

I inadvertently left Chuck off my list.

Gossip Girl spinoff is not officially dead yet, but it's not looking good.

Melrose Place redux is a go on the CW.

I do this a lot as well.  My new HD-DVR has 100 hours of recording so I sit on HD movies for a while, and I record a ton when we have free preview weekends.  Right now, I've probably got 12-15 movies recorded that were in my queue.

Clearly I watch to much TV...  But Leverage on TNT with Timothy Hutton is a very good con job caper show like early seasons of the UK's Hustle.  Some great characters in that series,

Yes, good show! My mom even watches it b/c she likes Timothy Hutton. She said she also like the character played by blonde actress. (she was pretty funny in the first few episodes)
In the summer I catch up on all the shows you all tell me about that I can't otherwise fit into my schedule or receive on my tele.
Oh and don't worry about watching too much. It's what staying up late, insomnia, winding down after a show and no commericals/recorded TV is for!

Daayaam, 100 hours of HD? My Fios-supplied dvr records about 20, a little less if I have an SD thing or two. I recently recorded the Godfather trilogy on HDNet, which takes a huge chuck of space. Only watched the first so far but I've got a five day weekend ahead 

Here's what HDNet Movies is showing over the next 30 days. And it's just a single channel.

Diggin' this quote from Ethan Supple's twitter

Why I love Greg Garcia(MNIE creator): when asked how he feels about nbc "It?s hard to be too upset about being thrown off the Titanic."

you can blame all those chuck fans....ha ha ha

"During a conference call with reporters today, Ben Silverman, co-chairman of NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios, said the network opted to cancel "Earl" and "Medium" because neither the fans nor the advertisers had waged a campaign to save them the way viewers and the Subway restaurant chain did for "Chuck."

This is a load of BS, there was no indication that MNIE was going to canceled so therefore no need to mount a campaign to save it.   Expect Chuck to become an hour long commercial for Subway every week, while Chuck uses his new found fighting skills.  YAWN

if i were a earl fan, id blame leno for soaking up 5 hours of programming a week

[sonickteam2]

man, i have no shows on my DVR.  i wonder why i even pay for it.

If you're watching Chuck to see Chuck, you're missing the point:
