I rarely refer to another's writings, as the whole point of my blog is to write, not just surf the web.
Even worse, I've never referred to writing that included a reference to the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
That said, I want to direct you to a fine piece that better encompasses the concept of the Brave New World of Television viewing than I could ever contemplate.
The Tyranny of Tivo by I M Niles.
Sometimes I feel this same tyranny. Finally there's so much quality television on that I don't have enough hours in the day to watch it. I'm considering losing sleep to manage my habit, but the mornings can be rough.
I've already had to stop myself from hiding Max's morning DVD's such as Thomas the Tank Engine in an effort to ensure I got more Tivo Time.
Anyway, enjoy!

I just watch what I have taped each night when I get home from work. If I don't get to something before I fall asleep or don't have time, I simply rewind the tape and have it ready for the next day:)
