terra nova

so i watched the entire series terra nova in two nights thanks to the new dvr and while it was mostly predictable, it had a couple of twists and a cast of characters i could sort of enjoy... i probably would not have watched it all week after week but the dvr made it easy as all the shows were on the same day so all it took was setting the dvr... apparently the show was cancelled by fox (the visionary station) and since the first season did wrap up the initial story, any next season would need a different premise... they left one interesting mystery in what they call the badlands and the rest of the story will pretty much be along the lines of land of the lost, so maybe that is why it was not renewed... i'd probably dvr it if it came back...

and then there's under the dome... another show i am watching on dvr... the show is unfortunately tainted by the drones on network television, i will dvr it and check it out when time permits... so far, so so, but i'll give it a season...

enter the dvr

not quite as dramatic as enter the dragon, but then, few things were as dramatic as bruce lee films (just a touch of sarcasm, no disrespect intended), but the fact is, we have a dvr... it's new to me, but jackson has been missing a dvr for years (not enough to pay for the extra cost and since i pay the whole internet and cable bill i wasn't looking for extra expenses, especially not this year)... brighthouse offered the dvr and an upgrade to the internet speed for two dollars less per month, so... we have a dvr... i believe you cannot record two shows at once (isn't that what the hopper commercial is based on?) so we are in the process of selecting the shows we can agree on when there are overlapping shows... gotta set priorities in life, after all... nyuk nyuk...

on a dangit note, i missed the premiere of some shows i wanted to check out... they could definitely make it easier to find shows... so i missed the first two episodes of under the dome... i will try to watch them online...

i have the time scheduled for the crazy ones (9/26/13 CBS)... and Believe (NBC) ... Fall Sunday ???... and In The Flesh (BBC) ... i don't know... and Intelligence (CBS) ... February 24, 2014... and Mind Games (ABC) ... Resurrection (ABC) ... Fall 2013... and The Crazy Ones (CBS) ... September 26, 2013... and The Hundred (CW) ... i don't know... and The Tomorrow People (CW) ... October 9, 2013... and Under the Dome (CBS) ... June 24, 2013... so i've got some more searching to do...

currently on the record series list are shows for both of us, shows for her, and shows for me... since we just got the new toy and we are in the summer season and still learning when shows are scheduled and all that, this is the current scheduled recordings... for both of us: ncis, ... for her (though i watch with her when i am home): rizzoli and isles, major crimes, top chef, ... and for me (she's not into sci-fi): continuum, warehouse 13, defiance, perception, futurama, ... maybe i'll update as we update, or maybe i'll add a sidebar list cuz, obviously, there are not enough of those... ah, the dvr is moving tv out of the background, a bit (we still do other things often when the tv is on, but we just may watch a bit more now that we have the dvr)...

cuz it's there, aye? :)
