I don't mean to interrupt the chef talk, but I wanted to remind people that Survivor starts tonight. I'm kind of excited about it.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm torn. My housemate already has one tuner set for My Name Is Earl so I have to decide between Survivor and Ugly Betty.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I don't think Earl premieres until next week, if that's any help.

I chose against Ugly Betty last season because it can be caught up with via reruns and rebroadcasts on ABC Family and SoapNet. That may not be the case this year.

Ooh, thanks, bon! My Tivo's still out of order what with the move and all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugly Betty doesn't start until next week, either. Too.

Yeah, but the completist in me needs to decide this now. I can't watch the first episode of Survivor and not watch all. the. rest.

My willingness to jump off survivor the second it got boring is how I missed the good parts of last season. But if you want to watch the whole season, then it stands to reason you prefer it to Ugly Betty, right?

if you want to watch the whole season
It's not so much want as need. I can rationalize testing out new programs with 2 or 3 episodes, but generally my completism makes me sit through the whole season of shows I choose to watch (see also Lost ). I also find it really difficult to pick up something that people recommend after the fact. I need to watch from the very first episode of the first season. I think the only exceptions have been The X-files, Buffy, and, now, Beauty and the Geek.
ETA: I realize this is whack.

The cable guys just left. I have internet, and the tivo is updating as we speak. There was a tense moment when they couldn't find the cable box and I couldn't get a-hold (sp?) of anyone. I got intrepid and walked down to the construction site and got one of the guys to let me into the electric room so they could turn on the cable.
