Finally got DVR, what shows should I auto record?

[mgoblue]

I don't regularly watch that many dramas/comedies on tv, usually Earl/Office, and now Psych are ones that I make a point to watch. Now that i have a DVR I can set some stuff to record and watch whenever I want, so figured I'd ask what everyone thinks I'm missing. I don't have HBO/Showtime/Cinemax, so any of the cable shows I've heard of aren't an option.

All the ones that are mentioned are good.

If you have HBO: Entourage and Lucky Louie, The Wire

If you have Showtime: Weeds and HUFF

That new super hero reality show on the Sci Fi channel that Novastar was talking about in another thread , i'm gonna start recording that, comedic gold

EDIT: Sorry I didn't read your whole post so i didn't see you didn't have the movie channels. Comedy Central has a lot of stuff like Reno 911, Comedy Central Presents. Pretty much summer is not that great. But atleast you can catch up with stuff like The Office and 24 on reruns.

There's tons of just normal primetime shows that I record with my DVR, but I would have watched them with or without the DVR. One show that I pretty consistently watch now is The Tonight Show because my DVR records it every night. Usually that late at night is my gaming time, so I would never watch it even though I really enjoyed it. With the DVR, I usually watch the monolouge and any guests I like when I get home from work.

So if you are a late night talk show fan, those are really good for DVRs.

You'll really appreciate your DVR during football season. You can watch a game, fast-forwarding between plays and during commercials, in 45 minutes without missing a second of the action.

As for shows:

Lost
Hustle (AMC)
Driving Force (A&E)
Dream Team (FSC)
World Series of Darts (ESPN -- these guys are amazing if you've ever even thrown a dart in your life, and the production quality of the shows are EXCELLENT.)

Let's just say I could live without the networks if it wasn't for sports, as prime-time network TV is sh*t for the most part.

Take care,
PK
