I don’t know how the FX Network does it, but they are like the crack of TV stations to me. With the exception of one show (Battlestar Galactica), all of the other shows that I watch are on that station.

In the past two months they have made me a fan of three shows. I
consider this pretty hard to do considering that I think that most of
the stuff on TV is crap. First, they debuted Over There which is a gritty war drama set in Iraq. Tonight, I watched re-runs of two premiere episodes on the network; Starved and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
As comedies, I have to say, that both are funny and creative. This is
rare because I think that most sitcoms are oh so boring.

Next month, Nip / Tuck returns for their third season which brings the count of shows that I watch on FX up to five (Rescue Me being the fifth).

Unfortunately, I like doing other things besides watching TV and I hate
missing episodes of shows that I watch (especially dramas). It would be
nice to be able to record shows for playback later, however, I refuse
to bust out my VCR. Considering this, it might be
time to invest in a PVR/DVR. That reminds me, I downloaded a video segment
from two guys showing you how to put together an open source PVR/DVR
solution (MythTV – you’ll need Linux to run this). While the video is
informative, I think that there is a lot of information that is not
covered. I might have to test this and see how it stacks up to other
commercial solutions.
