TV

Shortly after we got married, Rex and Edda moved to California. When they got there, they discovered they couldn't use their TiVo, so they gave it to us. It was one of those TiVo Subscriptions they did at the very beginning of TiVo where you pay an upfront fee and then you can use it forever with no monthly cost. We got very used to watching TV via that wonderful TiVo.

When we moved to Spanish Fork, we decided to pay $10 a month for the most basic TV service because the TiVo doesn't work unless you are getting your TV from a cable. But after being here a few months, we realized we don't watch enough TV to justify paying for it. So we canceled our TV. Let me be clear that we didn't do it because we are anti-TV, we did it purely to save $10 a month. So now we get random channels that come through for free. And unfortunately we can't use TiVo.

Last fall when Glee came out we didn't immediately jump on the bandwagon. We already had enough shows we were watching and we missed the first few episodes, so we didn't watch it. But this summer we decided to watch the first season on Netflix. And we ended up absolutely loving it. So now we are Glee watchers. We happen to get Fox (or some version of it) for free, so we watch Glee on Tuesday nights at 7:00 with commercials and without the ability to pause. It's quite a different experience from what we are used to.

We also watch NCIS which happens to be on the exact same day and time as Glee. The only two shows we watch and they are on the same day and time. What are the odds?! So we watch NCIS on their website. And if we were to miss a Glee, we'd watch it on Hulu. Thank goodness for being able to watch TV on the internet!

If you've never watched Glee, you should give it a try. It's all about the music. They pick great songs! Here is my favorite from last night's episode.


How do you watch your TV?

So happy that you watch TV 'ghetto' style like the Pugh's. Gotta love those commercials :)

And bless Hulu's heart.

Same story, no TV! I really wish I had a couple of my favorite channels though. Glee really is all about the music, I love it! Kind of too much drama for me, but the music is great!

Mr. Hummel to (son) Kurt "Well, you sing like a girl....you know, in a good way."
(When K wanted to sing the traditionally "girl's song" "Defying Gravity".)

There are soooo many "Brittanyism's" It's hard to choose a favorite.

"Take it away, Brittany." "Take what away?"

"Did you know that, dolphins are just gay sharks?"

"Sometimes I forget my middle name."

"I had a cold. I took all of my antibiotics. I've been here since first period. And now i forgot how to leave."

Kurt "Raise your right hand." Immeadiately Brittany goes left. "You r i g h t hand, Brittany." Santana helps her find her right hand....

Bet you're so happy you got me started.......
