The argument for DVR
So apparently I'm one of the only people on the planet to not have DVR and you know what? I'm actually ok with that. When I tell people that I don't have DVR, I get the same reaction as if I told them I was still using a rotary phone or that I only worked in DOS. What's the big deal? What people don't understand is that I really don't need to watch more television. Take this weekend - it was cold and I was tired so I only left the house once between Friday night at 11pm and Sunday night at 6pm. What I did in-between was watch TV, a lot of it. Saturday night I watched 2 movies on DVD and then proceeded to watch "Cocktail" on TBS after that. I have two TV's in my apartment, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. There are times that they're both on and I'm home by myself. This my friends, is sad. And is there really that much good TV on to warrant setting aside large chunks of my limited free time to catch up? I don't think so. Aside from "Ugly Betty", the Monday night line-up on CBS, and the Law & Order franchise, I can't think of anything else I need or really want to see. I didn't allow myself to get caught up in "24" or "Lost" or any of those other shows people rave about and frankly, if I can't miss "America's Next Top Model" or "Top Chef" once and a while, I have bigger problems than not having DVR. So unless they make a portable one that I can take with me to the gym, I'm going to abstain for now.

Without DVR, how would I make sure I see the two Family Guy episodes that air on Saturday nights at 1AM and 3AM? Unlike you, I go to bed before 3AM.
