We often see what's on the DVR when we're having lunch and then we generally don't watch any tv programs until 8. I have absolutely no patience for commercials, so if a program is not dvr'd I don't watch it. It is amazing how much time those commercials consume. I fast forward through all the commercials so a one hour show usually only lasts about 40 minutes. We can watch two primetime shows the day after they air in only 80 minutes. I'm usually asleep by 10 pm, so we don't spend as much time in front of the tv as it would appear from our list of preferred programs. Oh, Dave, Jim REALLY likes Limitless, so you may want to try to catch it. It is really interesting. He mentioned that last night as he was wondering when the next episode comes on. I have no idea but I know it is on my DVR series list.

I'm a pretty avid HGTV watcher. Several programs on there I like. And those real estate shows on Bravo. But I like some game shows, too (Let's Make a Deal for example - Wayne Brady is really funny). I generally have the TV on when I'm doing other stuff. The multitasking that women are so good at. 
I've also saved almost all the Oscar movies from this last year. Haven't watched them yet, except for Grand Hotel Budapest. I really, really like Xfinity's (Comcast) X1. So glad I upgraded.
Waiting for Downton Abbey to come back on for it's last season. Great show. I loved Mad Men, but alas, it's gone.

See, you're not as much of a couch potato as you thought.

A new show that I am enjoying is the Jim Gaffigan show on TVLand I find it very funny.

NBC’s “Blindspot” and CBS’ “Limitless” are the new series with the greatest likelihood of continued ratings success, according to predictive data compiled by Peel, maker of the world’s leading smart remote app.

I am very sad to report that Blindspot was listed on dvr as a recorded program so we thought we'd get to see it last night. Apparently my power outage caused only a partial recording. 
I may resolve myself to simply mute commercials and watch it on demand. Boooo. We watched the comedies Grandfathered and Grinder instead. Aside from a zillion commercials I have to admit they were funny and a pleasant little watch. If you're looking for comedy, I'd suggest to give them a look-see. Silly, but sometimes silly is good.

We met up with another couple in their MG for an early dinner at lake patio bar. These 70* days in MI are the best. Dinner and drinks lasted 3.5 hours with tons of laughs. So, we wrapped things up and we came home where we binged on 3-hours of Limitless (1st 3 shows). So we are now up to speed. Its a pretty good show with a mix of comedy, etc. Thankfully, the next show I will not have to sit through all those damn commercials, like we did watching it On Demand.

I saw "Shark Tank" last night for the first time. I can't decide whether I like it a lot or dislike it a lot.
