Revising the DVR

Last night marked the first tv-heavy night of the season. I wanted to watch old favorites like 90210 (8-9pm), Gossip Girl (9-10pm), and How I Met Your Mother (8-8:30pm), as well as new shows like Mike & Molly (9:30pm), Lone Star (9-10pm), and Hawaii Five-O (10-11pm).  The problem is, the DVR only records two shows at once, and you can only watch one of those shows live.  How I wish I could record two shows and watch a third live.  Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) has a previous series recording, probably saved from last season.  Although I do enjoy watching DWTS, especially after it's been recorded so I can fast forward through the commercials, it's 8-10 time slot was forcing me to chose between other shows I love.  I decided to cancel that series recording.  Apologies to my roommates if they were looking forward to DWTS.  But I still had a problem with my 9-10 slot; I couldn't record Lone Star, Gossip Girl, and Mike & Molly.  Not recording Gossip Girl is not an option, and if you know anything about me you know I love seeing my name in print, so I decided to forgo recording Lone Star.

I liked Mike & Molly.  I thought it was cute and I found Mike to be funny and charming.  I was a little surprised at how sitcom-y it is (the beginning scene back from every commercial break included a shot of Chicago with some cheesy music.  It reminded me of Family Matters), but I definitely laughed out loud at some parts.  I'm not sure where the series is going to go, but I will keep watching for now.  I love having Sookie back on my TV.

90210 had some great points, none of which include Adrianna's terrible make-up.  Mr. Cannon is creepy as hell.  Is Liam's brother linked to the playhouse woman?  Shouldn't Ad be going back to school now?  Why didn't she yell, "Hello! I was just in a huge car crash!" when Naomi almost ran Cannon over?  Ivy and Dixon are BORING me.  Oscar's gross.

I want to know if the Gossip Girl writers are forced to include, "I'm Chuck Bass." in every episode.  Either way, last night was the best use case.  I'm glad he's bring Fleur back to the States.  Will she be appalled by all the UES drama?  Or does she have a secret of her own? As Desi pointed out last night, why would Nate want a friend who's meddling like that?  I'm SO HAPPY Serena is single.  She's much more interesting that way.

I'm so glad I get my weekly Jason Segel fix.  Whose wedding was it?  Barney and Robin's??  I wish Rachel Bilson was in the episode more.  I seriously love her.  "Fourteen seconds! Fourteen seconds and already some ding-dong is stepping up thinking he can get some of this broke. off. ho. I still got it.” Love me some Robin.


GLEE is back tonight!  MODERN FAMILY and COUGAR TOWN are back Wednesday!  And pretty much every other great show is back on Thursday.  Welcome back friends.  I missed you.
