I recorded many, many movies during TCM's 31 days of Oscar this year, and On the Waterfront and The Conversation are still lingering. Once the fall season starts, things will begin to pile up as I fall behind, but in the summer I tend to stay fairly current.

Spartacus for months, otherwise, The 4400, Psych, Burn Notice, Eureka. My usual summer series
Almost time to clean out the summer and start the fall programming.

Right now... The Company and Faster Pussycat Kill Kill. I normally will rip something quickly to my computer to watch on iTunes or my iPod later.

A few assorted movies I taped during a free trial of Showtime, the "Slap Bet" episode of How I Met Your Mother (which I refuse to delete until I get the Season Two DVD set), the last couple of episodes of The Riches, which I recorded months ago and have been watching over the summer, and the first few episodes of Damages, which I plan to catch up on soon.

I have about 20 episodes of COPS, and 6 of COPS 2.0. These are great when I need 20 minutes of time filler entertainment. The eps from 2000+ always get priority viewing...the quality of early-mid 90's era eps are hit or miss.

I am not mentioning the hottest shows, which are viewed immediately and deleted...there are too many.

Everyone should have a season pass for Mad Money.

I have an Amazon Unbox purchase of Ghost Rider, which I picked up on a $0.99 sale, however I only have 3 more days to view it before it disappears. ( I used my free $15 credit to order it...I'd never pay real money for that movie.)

I had more than a dozen movies sitting on the DVR (the oldest for 15 months), but I just joined Netflix and put them all in the queue. So I'm current for now, with the exception of Sarah Silverman's ComCen show that I recorded but never got around to watching.

By the way, people should be warned about a new DVR software that Time Warner is developing (and VERY prematurely releasing). It's called Navigator. It is a disaster. It's loaded on the Scientific Atlanta 8300HDC machines, so fight for the 8300HD with Passport, which isn't perfect, but is tons better. (You might want to Google "time warner" lincoln nebraska -- that's where the software was first rolled out. TW almost lost the franchise as a result.)

I only just - finally! - upgraded my cable to have DVR two weeks ago. And I have no concept yet of how full it can get. To me, I think there's already too much on there and so I find I'm deleting as soon as I watch something.

I have:
from American Life Network:
My Favorite Martian & F Troop & Combat & Maverick & 77 Sunset Strip plus one episode of WKRP and one of Superman featuring Joi Lansing. Wow!

from USA Network:
Psych, Monk, Burn Notice, the 4400, Dead Zone

from Cartoon Network:
Robot chicken

from HBO:
Entourage & As You Like It (Not sure when I'll ever get to that!)

from AMC:
Mad Men

From Sci-Fi:
Eureka & Doctor Who

From TNT:
The Closer & The Company

from ABC Family:
Kyle XY & the whole run of Fallen

from TBS:
My Boys

from TCM:
New Faces of 1937

From IFC:
Jackie Woodman & Garage Days

from WLIW:
Winged MIgration (sounds like one of those movies you record and NEVER get around to watching!)

The last of the Masters of Science Fiction

and I was dvr'ing The Bronx Is Burnng but I'm caught up and deleted that.

I guess I only have a few weeks before I have to start weeding it out for all of the fall offerings.

The last season of Crossing Jordan. Still haven't got around to watching the season or recording it onto a different format.

I have lots of episodes of "Picket Fences" which I record when they air here, in the U.K., a couple of Tonight Shows a few documentaries and its 65% full.

As the daddy of twin 3 year old boys, our DVR seems to be filled with a plethora of Wiggles, Little Einstein, Babar, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Sesame Street. Though they have started watching a new show called "Jane and Dragon" based on a book series (and not a bad little show).

As for rare times my wife and I are able to get in some TV time, we've got episodes of Doctor Who, Planet Earth, Last Comic Standing and Top Chef to watch while waiting for the Fall Season to begin. Then we'll be making room for Heroes, Smallville, Supernatural, CSI, House, Family Guy and a few others. Plus, we'll be giving the obligatory trial run (two-three eps) for several of the new series starting, including Bionic Woman, Pushing Daisies, etc.

Bad horror and detective shows.

Tales from the Darkside, The Hitcher(1986), Werewolf Hunter: The Legend of Romansanta, Cry Wolf, Venom.

24, Law & Order:CI, JAG, NYPD Blue

And I have saved the last episode of John from Cincinnati. and Lost

Most of this season of Rescue Me is on there, but I disliked the first few eps of the year so much, I haven't gotten going on it yet. My wife still has the entire second half of Jericho on there, though I'm becoming less convinced she's ever going to watch them.

Most embarrassing: about a dozen episodes of BBC's How Clean Is Your House? We actually watch that one pretty regularly, but with BBC America showing three eps a weekday, it's still more than we can keep up on.

The Singing Bee
Don't Forget the Lyrics

The entire Season 3 of Battlestar Galactica - won't delete this until the DVD comes out (and who knows when that'll be!) - we continue to go back and rewatch just to get a BSG fill, and a few eps of Top Gear from BBC America..I'm pretty good at keeping up with the watching, as BSG takes up almost 1/2 of my DVR (only 48 hours of programming...)

I've got 2 episodes of The Office and 4 of 30 Rock, all in HD. I have an ep of Old Christine that I haven't watched yet. I've been wanting to check that show out. I also have 5 episodes of How I Met Your Mother, all in HD. SNL's Best of 06/07 special, 1 ep of Brothers & Sisters, a Matchbox Twenty HD concert, a Rob Thomas HD concert, a couple 4400 episodes, some Live Earth, and Green Day's Storytellers.

Oh, I also have an 8 minute recording of VH1, with the videos of Maroon 5's "Wake Up Call" and Lifehouse's "First Time."

I've got lots of movies recorded, some of which have yet to be released on DVD, like 'The Gong Show Movie' and 'The Last Days of Disco'. Also, every episode of 'The Knights of Prosperity', the last five episodes of 'Jericho' I haven't gotten to yet, lots of 'Mad Men' that I may or may not catch up on and 'The Universe' on the History Channel. I have some serious catching up to do before the fall season starts...

My biggest space taker is all but two episodes of FRIDAY THE 13th - THE SERIES from the Chiller channel. They keep skipping one episode I need, and I have to wait for them to cycle through for the other episode from season 1. I also record WHAT'S MY LINE from GSN every week (30+ episodes). Love the classic game shows! But this stuff has got to go before the new season starts! I also have MAD MEN from AMC and a bunch of Joan Crawford movies from TCM. I do keep up with current shows though.
