What to watch? My DVR can't handle it all!

Premiere week is upon us (starting Sunday, September 23) and I have been as giddy as a schoolgirl for weeks! I simply LOVE new television. I seriously can't remember what life was like before I got my DVR (thanks Debbie) and wouldn't have a clue how to record something on a VHS machine if I had to. In fact, I'm not sure I know where my VHS machine is.

It's that time of year again, the time when I take a highlighter and pick and choose what to watch and what to DVR. In reality, the two aren't that different because if I want to see something, I have to DVR it anyway. With two crazy kids running around at night, I'd have to give them Benadryl if I wanted them to be out by 8:00. Anything that I want to see that airs during that hour automatically goes on the DVR schedule. And, anything that airs at 10:00 also goes on the DVR schedule because half the time I am dead to the world by 10:30. BDVR (before DVR), I used to search the net far and wide every morning to see what happened on the episode of [insert almost any 10:00 show here] the night before!

Okay, enough talk. Here is my viewing schedule for the coming week, and I've got high hopes for many of these!

Sunday, September 23
The only show I watch on Sundays that is premiering this day is Cold Case.

Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters premiere next week.

Monday, September 24
This is the night I'm most excited about. Not only is one of my favorite shows from last year returning, Heroes, but two new shows will premiere that sound promising. Both on NBC, Chuck and Journeyman air on either side of Heroes. The DVR will also be recording my guilty pleasure How I Met Your Mother. Suit up!

Tuesday, September 25
I'll probably watch half of what I recorded yesterday. Oh, and Reaper on the CW. The only returning show I'm interested in is Law and Order: SVU. At least until Nip/Tuck premieres in October!

Wednesday, September 26
One of the new shows I'm looking forward to the most, Pushing Daisies, doesn't premiere until October 3rd. But there are two other new shows premiering this night that I'm excited to check out. They are Bionic Woman on NBC at 9:00 and Dirty Sexy Money on ABC at 10:00. Oh, and give Back to You a chance. It premiered last week and is actually really pretty good!

Thursday, September 27
Thursday is all about old favorites. The comfort food of TV. My DVR will be recording Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, CSI, and Without a Trace. (If I had a second DVR, I'd also record The Office.)

Friday, September 28
This is usually my night for reading my new Entertainment Weekly, but alas, there is actually good TV on this year! The 28th brings a new episode of Ghost Whisperer. In October, Friday Night Lights and Men in Trees return, both on new nights.

Saturday, September 29
Who am I kidding? Nothing airs on Saturday nights!

Wow! That's a lot of TV!
