I didn't get very far, but I do have a plan!

My weekend was jam-packed with fun, friends, food, family, football (BOOMER SOONER) parties, church and shopping.  So I managed to never even look at either of the DVRs until Sunday night.  Oddly enough, I like none of the Sunday night shows.  I know, I know, everyone else loves Sunday night TV, but both of my DVRs are sleeping soundly during that time. 

Anyway, last night I finally sat down in my fabulous big red chair to try and quickly catch up on all of last week's shows before they start over again this week.  Two hours is not nearly enough time to watch an entire week's worth of TV, so I devised a plan for evaluating new TV shows. 

Step one:  Grab a bottle of water and the entire bag of boy scout caramel popcorn so you don't have to keep going back for just one more handful.  **Lesson learned after 3 trips to the kitchen!**

Step two:  Give Carly a bone, because she does not get popcorn.

Step three:  Start with the shows you already suspect you might not like so you can speed through.  (Especially the shows you guys told me to avoid.)

Step four:  Watch the first 10 minutes.  This does not mean blog, pet the dog and talk on the phone all at the same time the way I usually watch TV.  Actually pay attention for 10 minutes!

Step five:  If the show is good, keep watching (so far that has not happened).  If unsure, skip ahead 20 minutes and watch 5 more minutes.

Step six:  If it's better, rewind and watch the rest of the show.  Then decide whether you like the show like a normal person.  Otherwise if you still don't like the show after 5 minutes from the middle....stop, delete the episode, delete it from the schedule, do not pass go, do not collect $200 and never look back!

I was able to delete 6 shows last night!  My DVRs will thank me this week, I'm quite certain.  Unfortunately there are about 20 left that I haven't even watched yet, but hey, it's a start!
