I am a TV addict. There! I said it. The DVR has become my enabler. It single handily has stretched my addiction from "appointment TV" to now including every cheesy piece of reality TV I can get my hands on. And, yes, that includes recording Cheaters at 1am.
As a media buyer, I justify my addiction on my job. I mean, in order to sufficiently buy for every demo under the sun, I NEED to watch every program I can get my hands on. That is the only way I will understand the mom, teenager, empty nester, young professional (list goes on) I am trying to reach. OK, obviously all the research and reading I do plays a big part in that, but that is how I justify the over-loaded DVR to myself.
It used to be, my to-do list was the only thing that piled up around me. Now, it is also my to-watch list. That is why I am so glad the Olympics are here. Not because I am excited to watch them..... I have never been a big fan from a personal level. No, it is because I know that as the entire world is tuned in to the diving and the sand volleyball, many of the other networks will be running re-runs and awful TV specials.
It's my chance! My chance to finally get caught up on all those shows I have been taping over the last few months. No new programs to distract me! Well, unless you count Project Runway, Mad Men, Swingtown, Sunset Tan........
Maybe I can even get to those Netflix DVDs I have had for the last 4 weeks. And, I have some library books piling up. Not to mention the photos that need cataloged. Oh well, maybe I won't catch up after all, but I will give it the best shot I have.
