Directv also gives you directions about how to record on a DVD recorder.
Back in early November, I posted about my trouble with upgrading to the Genie. It turned out it really was because my wireless router was on the point of death. With the new one (I'm renting from xfinity until I figure what to buy), everything is lovely and I do enjoy not having to worry about recording more than 2 things at a time. Not that it happens often, but there are times when 3 things I want to see overlap.

Damn. I'm so overcome by grief I don't even know what day it is!

What about digital antennas that allow you to watch local broadcast channels without a cable or satellite subscription? Those should hook up to VCRs and DVD recorders OK? You'd still need to find alternate means of watching networks like USA, SyFy, etc. but the broadcast networks would be covered.

It's as I've always known: little kids, like clowns and ventriloquists' dummies, are inherently creepy.
Perhaps hubris will be Samaritan's downfall.
LOVED the Get Smart vending machine. Now if John gets a shoe phone and the others start calling Harry "Chief"...

I loathed Fred.so.very.much. When Amy Acker joined Person of Interest I wasn't sure I'd be able overcome my deep dislike of her because of Fred and keep watching.

It always irks me when contestants blame their youth for not knowing something, especially when they've correctly answered several questions about things that pre-date their very special selves by decades.

In case it hasn't been mentioned: Nestor will be shown on ABCFamily at 8 a.m. Christmas day.

It's too bad they went for a real company--it would've been perfect for Stephen to sell out to Prescott Pharmaceuticals.

It's a small change in the lyrics from Garland's "next year" to Sinatra's "from now on" and using "hang a shining star upon the highest bough" twice instead of using it once and using Garland's "until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow" the second time. I've heard Sinatra requested the changes for the reason legaleagle mentions. I like both versions but prefer Sinatra's voice.

It probably will but I'll be sobbing too loudly to hear it.

Yes, the messed up display bothered me as well--how can they ever find anything when they're clearly not keeping reporter sets together, let alone following either Dewey or Library of Congress? It's chaos! Chaos!

I have decided I detest the Kohl's "Strange Magic" commercial where the little boy ignores his father in the car and then gets all giddy when he sees the reindeer. I don't know why I hate it so much, but I find myself wishing that the dad would have just walked off into the woods and left the snotty little S.O.B. to be trampled or eaten by the reindeer.
For me, it's a depressed to the point of suicide dad. He seems like he's about to pull the car over and hang himself from the nearest branch. Get some perspective, man.

Hell, yeah. CNN was appalling. "This a baaaaad guy." STFU. I switched to MSNBC and Andrea Mitchell's far saner coverage.

With you on the Cassandra business, lordonia. I am tired of the cutesie, womangirl waif type that I puke all over their childish clothes and general preciousness.
I laughed at all of the law books, shapeshifter. So immediately recognizable to anyone who works in a library. I wonder why TV libraries are always so well stocked with U.S. Reports and all of the West series. I laughed out loud at the state code of Rhode Island behind Noah Wiley in the pilot.

I'm perfectly OK with Erin winning, and would've been equally fine with either of the others...Bill more than Naylet because her design in this challenge was kind of repellant to me. I also have no problem with Erin's perkiness--it's less than an hour a week, on TV where I have a choice to watch or not, or fast forward or not, so I don't see what the big deal is.
Duff's perceived favoritism for Erin was more than off-set, I thought, by Lauren's obvious dislike of her. And Lauren's fondness for Bill was off-set by Nancy's not-so-fondness. That's how it looked to me.

Hot damn it! Now I'm really annoyed that I forgot to set the DVR before I went out last night!

Comedy Central is having a Colbert Report marathon on Dec. 18, starting about 10 a.m.

I have an aversion to all things Tolkien but I enjoyed the interview.

That happened to me as well. Loved it when I was growing up, cannot watch it now. When White Collar began, I was annoyed they didn't acknowledge that it was essentially an ITAT reboot. But given the unwatchability of ITAT now, it was probably just as well.The biggest surprise to me was It Takes A Thief. I remember loving the show, loving Wagner, and losing my mind over Fred Astaire, but I tried to re-watch recently and I just couldn't.-

Hollywood Reporter, Deadline, etc. are reporting that Letterman's last show will be in May (20th? 30th?) and the debut date for Stephen will be announced soon.

The writing was pretty bad, definitely not as sharp as I expected from the guys behind Leverage. Yes on the Buffy one-librarian-in-all-the-world and slaying of potential slayers, and on the very Warehouse 13-like library. What I wouldn't have given for Pete, Myka, Claudia, and Artie to show these rookies how it's done.
Christian Kane was also on Angel, so those new to him might want to check out the episodes with Lindsay in addition to Leverage.

I read the FJ clue as meaning a quote or something from red River but couldn't think of anything.

Looking at the onscreen guide description of the final challenge, I'm glad Erin got to stay. It seems like the kind of thing she'll have fun with (cutesie wootsie fun, but it's only one more episode, I can cope) and I'm interested in seeing what she comes up with, mostly based on the yule log challenge.
I wish all of the contestants got to stay through the whole show and that there were running scores throughout, with the final winners and runners-up based on cumulative scores plus the final showpiece.
