Wow, and I thought I had it bad!
Right now I've got
Monday: Boston Public, Crossing Jordan
Tuesday: 70s Show and Undeclared (but Undeclared had better get good quick, the premiere was only so-so)
Wednesday: Ed (when it starts), Amazing Race, Wolf Lake
Thursday: E.R.
Friday: Dark Angel, Thieves (unless it sucks-- we'll find out tomorrow)
Sunday: Alias (unless it sucks)
Problem here is I only have one VCR and it only supports 8 timers! So I'm hoping a few of these shows are bad so I can give them up :)

Jake, the primary reason for not going TiVo is simply the multi-channel recording (same time slots), and the associated cost of buying more TiVo units. I have way too many overlapping TV shows and would be frustrated if I had to fork over $200-$300 for such capability when I already have my sunk cost in 3 VCRs which work for my situation.
Does anyone knows what happens if TiVo goes under w/r/t the subscriber services? That's another one of my concerns, being stuck with a TiVo unit when/if TiVo goes under.

Even in the unlikely event that TiVo would "go under", the things can still be programmed manually like a VCR...

Well, I can almost cross off "The Agency" off the list, as much as I like to stare at Paige Turco, I think this show is just going to run itself into the ground with its "I've seen this espionage thriller" angle of the week.
Undeclared stay on the list for a few more episodes.

Hmm... my TV viewing schedule is light in comparison
Sunday:
Football, King of the Hill, Futurama, Simpsons, Evangelion (gotta love PBS)
Monday:
Buffy, Simpsons, Monday Night Football
Tuesday:
Buffy (FX & UPN), Simpsons
Wednesday:
Buffy, Simpsons, South Park
Thursday:
Buffy, Simpsons
Friday:
Buffy, Simpsons
Saturday:
Mystery Science Theater, Band of Brothers, College Football
I've also got 15-18 other shows set up for recording at various times (all have lower priorities than Buffy and Simpsons, though), so I really have no idea when those will be recorded.
I'd like to add an extra 80GB or so to my TiVo, and I'd really like to figure out how to receive HD signals (I'd love to get HBO-HD, but I'll probably have to wait a few months for that)
