Ok, so before we’re fully in the swing of things, I figured I’d take the time to share the obscene amount of television I plan on DVRing this fall. There are a few omissions for programs currently finishing their runs (Damages and Top Chef will both be gone soon) and there’s also more than a couple of reality shows you won’t see down here – like I really need a record that I habitually watch The Hills.

*On nights with multiple shows (that’s all but two of them, folks), the asterisk denotes which one I’d save if they were all drowning in a deep, deep pool of looming cancellation. And though Friday Night Lights stands alone, I would very likely choose it over all others.
So wait…you don’t watch House? Wow…this rift between us is getting bigger and bigger. Since you’ve still got room on your 8-10, though, I recommend you at least try Boston Legal’s 1 1/2 hour Season Premier tonight.
wait…I think you left of ANTM and Gossip Girl off Wed night lineup…
