1.  Time Warner DVR sucks.  I’m so sick of missing the last minute and 1/2 of every show.

2. Modern Family is my new favorite tv show.  Y la actriz latina es mi favorita.

3.  I really liked Paula.  I love Simon.  And Randy and Kara do nothing for me.   I think Ellen should stick to her talk show.tv

4.  I’ve never seen a single episode of Law & Order or that show with McStreamy.

5. Two episodes of Jersey Shore were enough for me.  I get it.

6.  ”That’s a deal breaker, ladies.”   That’s my Liz Lemon impression.  good, right?

7.  They should change the name from Saturday Night Live to The Kristen Wiig Show.

8.  I’m experiencing Mad Men withdrawl.

9.  How crazy is that McDonald’s commercial where the girl mentions ‘Lark Street’.  I was like, “did she just say Lark Street??”  (she’s so hot, by the way).

10.  Who the hell is still watching Ugly Betty?

    #4: I thought I was the only one, my secret shame.
    #10: Where the hell did Ugly Betty go?! I might watch it if it would sit still for a minute………….

  2. dgc says:

    #1 Thanks for the warning, I was considering breaking down and getting it.
    #2 She’s a “coal digger”……HAAA…..love it…..btw when are you and Mark adopting a baby girl from China? :)
    #4 Who needs McStreamy when you’ve got #8 Don Draper….(oooo baby…she purred)
    #8 At least I have those crazy polygamists over on HBO to keep me entertained for the moment, and Lost is coming back to work the rest of my brain cells. Although I think I’m going to have to take a refresher course to “catch up”. Too long between seasons to remember all that crap!

  3. Man D. says:

    I’m in glee withdraw! Agree with #1 but I always tape the show after the show I’m taping so I’m guaranteed the last 2 minutes… And my husband always tapes at least 3 sports games in a row bc what if the game goes into overtime… hello dvr ocd!

  4. Christy says:

    Grey’s Anatomy is the best show on tv. I miss Boston Legal.

  5. Cynthia says:

    24 premieres new season this weekend.. that’s the way to go although completely agree with comments #1 and #3.

  6. Amy says:

    #2. I LOVE Modern Family. I literally laugh out loud everytime I watch it!!
    #8. Also experiencing Mad Men withdrawl.
    #9. “I love you chin dimple” …

  7. not you says:

    hilarious! And oh so true . . .
    ever jumped in the pool of insanity called, “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia”?

  8. -S says:

    #10. they all switched to Glee…

  9. Maureen says:

    I thought it was my DVR cutting off the last 1.5 minutes of every single show!!!!! Figures it’s Time Warner. God, I wish I could get Verizon or Dish out my way.

    Watch the show before Modern Family called The Middle with Patricia Heaton. OMG!!! Funnier than Modern Family.

    And Ugly Betty (UB) is on Wednesday night at 10 pm. And it’s still funny.

    I’ve never watched McDreamy and I don’t watch AI. I am addicted to Hoarders, though. It’s a train wreck and you can’t stop.

  10. JOB says:

    When you go to set the DVR just add more time to the end time of the show. TLC shows do that all the time instead of 10pm-11pm just go from 10pm-11:02pm… I always miss the girl in her wedding dress on Say Yes to the Dress!! What about Rescue Me? Is that ever coming back??

  11. Cathy says:

    Modern Family Rocks! I’m also having Mad Men (and Glee) withdrawal. Love those shows, even though I never see the last minutes of them hahaha.

  12. DB says:

    @#7. Cat in the wall ehh… Now your talking my language.

    @matt. I love her chin dimple. If you find out who she is, Tell her I was asking.

  13. Tonya says:

    #1 — I was just thinking about getting the DVR! Now I’m going to reconsider!
    #2 — LOVE Modern Family!
    #7 — Totally agree – she’s the only reason I’ll watch it (or if Justin Timberlake is on!)
    #9 — Did you just discover that McDonald’s commercial? I’m so sick of seeing it “you get me one?” AARRRGGHHH! Bring back the damn filet-o-fish one!!

  14. chris says:

    1. you can adjust the time a recording stops and starts down to the minute, which might be tedious, but i don’t think it’s really tw’s fault.
    9. there was an article in the TU about the mcdonald’s commercial a while back. they did area specific ones across the country to catch the attention of sloths. also, the girl is really hot, but not local.

  15. MD says:

    Modern Family is my jam. I like Betty too though.

  16. 1. That’s not entirely Time Warner’s fault, and their DVR isn’t the only one that’s doing that. Certain networks are pushing the start and end for a show to a minute or so after the hour to discourage people from using DVR and watching the show real-time. You know, so they don’t fast forward through the commercials. Spike in particular is notorious for this.

    3. I think it’s amazing how someone completely unlikable and confrontational will audition for them, and you’ll be like “wow, what a jerk.” Then Kara opens up her crazy mouth and you’re like “oh nevermind, she’s still the biggest sociopath in the room.”

    7. Am I the only one who doesn’t find her the least bit funny?

    9. Hey, show of hands, how many people have drank that awful terrible coffee? No one. Wow. Great campaign.

  17. andrew says:

    30 rock, the soup, hoarders, it’s always sunny, modern family and glee. those are my must watch shows.

    i always have arrested development on my mind though.

  18. Edna says:

    #7,love it and Hoarders,The Office and Dexter…….

  19. JS says:

    @18..totally agree Dexter is an awesome show (and Michael C. Hall is HOT). Let’s not forget Desparate Housewives…Eva Longoria is fn bea-U-tiful!

  20. Jill D says:

    OMG- I think I might be in love with you people who have now solved my DVR dilemma… god damn thing always cuts off and pisses me off- especially when I want to see what is coming up next week for my favorite show which is done for the season- Son’s of Anarchy… absolutely awesome show! Going to try and catch up on Dexter in the mean time!

  21. Wendy Sue says:

    LOVE Modern Family (missing Glee) and I am considering watching Ugly Betty now that Adam Rodriguez is on it. Aye Carumba!! Yummy!! Google him.
    My guilty pleasures are Intervention and Hoarders. I think I got problems?

  22. Julia says:

    Unfortunately, I think they should’ve canceled SNL years ago..I feel like they’re beating the dead horse b/c there are no other live 1 &1/2 hr variety shows out there nowadays..holding onto to nostalgia to its detriment..It lost it’s edge a loonngg time ago.. It’s not as funny, & they no longer have the huge break out stars

  23. tpal says:

    The girl from the McDonalds commercial was also in a commercial for Target this past holiday season. It was the one where the geek gives the cute girl a necklace and she says “I didn’t think we were there yet”.

  24. Eric ejh says:

    Oddly enough, the hot blonde from the McDonald’s commercial was a guest star on Law and Order a few weeks ago. No joke.

  25. marnie says:

    I love McSteamy, Modern Family and the Middle are too funny! I have to say I am sick of Time Warner …all in one….my bill seems to go up and up they are cable nazi’s….

  26. TamiDz says:

    You forgot commercials…who are you calling a cootie queen, you lint licker?!

  27. Maree says:

    Mad men the bestest show on television… Hands down! Following a hood second and third and fourth… is californication, Dexter, and hung! Love them all… I definately second that mad men withdrawl

  28. Donna says:

    ejh is watching a little too much tv!

  29. My name is not Jenna says:

    Modern Family is so awesome!!! I hate the Dog Butler!! OMG! Law and Order is only fun when you watch it while playing the “Law and Order Drinking Game”!!!

  30. Cynthia says:

    I don’t want to waste 2 hours of my life watching Jersey Shore… so.. and I’m asking seriously.. what is to get?
    I will admit, to my husband’s never-ending irritated surprise, I do watch the housewives shows.
    My favorite is Atanta Housewives.. but if it was a choice between NY and new jersey housewives.. NY wins hands down.

  31. Chris V says:

    Time Warner’s DVR is like the free cell phone you can get with your contract. It isn’t what you want – you want the Iphone or the Droid. For a DVR you want the Tivo. Yes it will cost you more, but it is waaay better. Crazy better. You can pay for it monthly like the Time Warner one or you can go all in and buy an unlimited contract, which is cheaper if you have it 21/2 years or so. I added a external 1 Terrabyte drive to mine, and have never filled it up even with HD programming. The best thing is they have a “secret code” to change the forward key to a 30 second skip key so you zip right past the commercials 10 times faster than with the Time Warner DVRs fast forward buttons. Whats THAT worth over the next 3 years of your life?
    Sorry for the commercial, I just think its way better and most people don’t think about it.

  32. Joshua says:

    You need to check out Gavin and Stacy. I am pretty sure BBC America has started showing them. Amazing you will laugh your fillings out.

  33. maribeth says:

    Totally with you on #1. I never get to see the previews – wtf? Still couldn’t live without it though……..

  34. JV says:

    Couldn’t live without my dvr – sometimes need to adjust end times, pisses me off more when something starts late b/c of sports, so I always have to record something extra. Modern Family is the funniest show on tv. “casablanca”.

  35. Christine says:

    Modern Family is the best show ever!!!!

  36. -S says:

    If you are into adult cartoons (!), give a shot to “Archer” on FX. It’s as morally outrageous as “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”. Voiced by the great H. Jon Benjamin (Coach McGuirk on Home Movies) and Jessica Walter (Lucille Bluth on Arrested Development). First episode was fun.

  37. mrswags says:

    Love Modern Family- best show on TV currently. Set everything on the DVR to run over if you want to see the end guaranteed. Used to like Grey’s, getting old and very stupid, might have to drop it. Maybe I’ll watch DeepEnd.

  38. rebecca says:

    Ceasar Sala – zar!

  39. Margie C says:

    Not a big TV fan- just don’t want to waste time on lousy shows, but caught Modern Family the other night and was hooked from the start. Snappy, funny fresh dialogue. Then, I saw that Christopher Lloyd was one of the writers- Of Course! He’s pure genius! He was so funny as Jim in Taxi!

  40. kbarr428 says:

    I love greys anatomy although the last few episodes suck. Ever get into Dexter or Californication?

  41. Danielle says:

    I was having the same problem with my DVR…. And then I figured out that you can changed the time that your DVR records too… So if you show starts at 8:00 and ends at 8:30, go into the 8:30 timeslot box and change the time to reflect 8:32 or what have you!! This way you dont miss anymore of your show!!!!

  42. Mara says:

    So… did you mean McSteamy when you said McStReamy? just curious… lol

  43. maggie says:

    #39: There is Christopher Lloyd the actor (Taxi) and Christopher Lloyd the screenwriter (Modern Family). I made the same assumption awhile back. Either way, Modern Family is hysterical and my favorite. Next to The Office.

  44. mandi says:

    I love Modern Family!! Its nice to see some of the stars have made a great comeback from their earlier sitcom days.

  45. Christine says:

    Never watched Ugly Betty

  46. Anonymous on this one. says:

    > 8. I

  47. EZ says:

    King Solomon is still watching Ugly Betty…he makes sure to add 4 minutes to the DVR so he doesn’t miss a thing!

  48. Julie says:

    Did you notice TODAY, they changed the programing for DVR recording. I came home to watch my usual BS and none recorded. So now we ALL have to re-record anything that was scheduled. The worst part is trying to understand the new format, it’s not as (I know I hate this term) “user friendly” as before. You may enjoy one new feature of recording it gives you the option of extending the end time, so you won’t be left with a cliffhanger you’ll never see. Love to hear your opinion.

    You are amazing, you got Mona Golub from Price Chopper to contact you.
    Hoping to see Bombers Hot Sauce in Price Chopper soon.

    Julie.
