hmmm, Earl and The Office or Ugly Betty ?

Manda105 · 10-05-2006, 04:02 PM

Gah, so many shows on tonight that I love. The Office, Grey's, and Ugly Betty. I guess I'm going to have to watch the first half of Ugly Betty and then switch to The Office at 8:30 and watch the second half of Betty on ABC's site tomorrow. I think I need to get a Tivo.

Sarah - That's true. But, you need to start watching.

So glad you have your net back.

Danny - Both!

Manda - DVR (like TiVo) is the best thing I ever got. Totally worth it!!!

I wanna see Ugly Betty so bad but I tape The Office each week so I can watch the episode more than once. It's the same reason I've given up Lost. For One Tree Hill of all shows ... Which tells you I'm not only loyal but also a glutton for punishment.

Heh. You are a glutton for punishment.

You can watch Betty though, on ABC's website you can watch it (they still have last week's episode up, and they'll have tonight's up tomorrow as well). It's definitely worth it, I really liked it a lot.

Mel, I've definitely thought about getting DVR. I think I might have to look into it a bit more. I'm sure I'll gave and get it by January or something, because I hate having to figure out ways to see certain shows.

Meghan - You can watch Lost and Ugly Betty on the ABC website..........they stream it.........you don't have to download it.

Manda - So worth it. I love being able to record 2 things at once! Definitely helps with the conflicts.

Ooh! Thank you for that! I'll have to look into it.

Hee. Manda! I still love my One Tree Hill. We've had our ups and downs but we're still pretty solid. I've even given up seeing other shows in the same time slot.

A big step I know!

I still watch OTH..............pure guilty pleasure. I don't take any of it too seriously.

Me neither. I will admit it's a bit more that a guilty pleasure for me. I watch religiously and am very involved in the fandom. The only main storyline I'm completely devoted to at this point is the Nathan and Haley relationship despite their sometimes over-the-top cheesy moments. I simply love them. The episode where they first got together ("The Search For Something More") was the first real episode I watched and got hooked on so alot of my love for the show itself is tied up in them.

I've noticed you posting over there quite a bit. That board is too crazy for me..........I just lurk.

N/H is my ship of the show.

They're what got me hooked as well.

It's definitely an intimidating group over there. Hee. And the rivalries can get BITTER which is why I tend to simply say my peace and then leave. I will say though it's one of the only boards on FF that is like a family in that there are certain posters you know you'll see and interact with at one point or another. It's kind of comforting actually and that's why I love it.

***Enigma*** · 10-05-2006, 10:19 PM

I like the fact that alot of discussion is generated over there. But, it's a bit too teenish (no offense to anyone) over there for me. And yeah the wars keep me away. But, I know alot of posters over there and and I've watched the show from the beginning. I enjoy my lurking.

That's awesome that it's like family over there for you. Definitely nice to find that.

No offense taken because I agree. It can be frustrating sometimes which is why I tend to steer clear of the more "serious" conversations and snark it up with my fellow posters instead. Hee. OTH certainly provides plenty of material for that.

I will add my two sense into the more meaty discussions here and there but for the most part it's not worth it (I've found). You can debate the merits of a character or couple with someone until you're blue in the face and it won't change their opinion. Nor would I want to! Keeps discussion interesting I think.

Yeah I've (luckily!) found a bit of a niche there. It makes the posting process alot more fun.

***Enigma*** · 10-05-2006, 10:32 PM

That is true.

And yep, I know what you mean.

And just for the record I always enjoy your posts.
