All those TiNo’d shows
Cory Bergman October 27th, 2006
A couple days ago, I mentioned that Studio 60s were stacking up unwatched on my DVR. Well, TV critic Tim Goodman has a name for it: TiNo’d. Other shows I’m TiNo’ing: Frontline (I need to watch, but never have time) and Countdown (Sorry, but I watch the 30-minute Daily Show instead). What shows have you TiNo’d?

What a great and relevant term for TiVo users. I can think of many shows, movies, etc. that I’ve TiNo’d: Nova, Frontline, Studio 60, Curb Your Enthusiam reruns, etc.

Smallville and Supernatural…
My friend coined another phrase which I’d like to present here. The situation is that you have TiNo’d a show and then before you got around to watching it, it gets axed (Smith, for example): TiWhoa! as in TiWhoa! where did Smith go?

Give “The Wrap Party” (episode 4) a try. It is the next best one after the Pilot. Back to some good Sorkin writing again.

If watched in sequence, the first four episodes hang together better as one piece than as individual episodes. The Wrap Party is the perfect third act.

It’s actually a good thing when this happens with serialized shows (Lost, 24, Heroes, etc), ’cause you can catch up with 2-4 episodes at one time and it’s vastly more entertaining.
As far as Tivo’ing Countdown, what you should do is watch Countdown completely on double-fast forward from beginning to end; that way, it’s just like Orwell’s “Two-Minute Hate”, in both content AND time.

Not because it’s a bad show, cause I know it’s good, but I just do not have time for Heroes, especially after Galactica got started up again.
Galactica, by the way - best drama on TV. Forget all the critics of it saying that it’s simply metaphorical for the present day’s troubles - it’s much better than that. And after last week’s episode, if they don’t win an Emmy for effects (at the very least), then I don’t know what Emmy voters want. The mattes on last week’s show were simply awesome and seamless too. I felt like I was looking up in the sky watching a battle.

I’ve got a bunch of episodes of Heroes stacking up as well. There’s also several episodes of ABC’s The Nine piling up, which for all of the buzz around it before it came out, I can not get into.

Corey: you’re in line for a TiWhoa! with The Nine… see? it’s totally catching on!!

PBS might as well be my personal TiNo Network.

TiNo’d (shows I recorded a lot of and never watched much of…):
1) Joan of Arcadia. Great premise, good acting, tedious unveiling. Even God doesn’t have this much patience.
2) House. Hugh Laurie can sneer like no one else. But week after week after week, don’t his muscles get tired?
3) Anything labelled “culturally signficant.”
And I’m now a three-TiVo household. New Series3, installed in the living room; two-year-old Series2, installed in the bedroom; and a six-year-old Series1, installed in the back of the closet.

I’m with Safran on the PBS thing. I still have Novas from last year on my TiVo.

I have all the episodes of this season’s Lost that I’m supposed to be waiting to watch with my girlfriend but its getting harder to resist a solo Lost marathon. As far as Countdown goes, I’ll let you free up some space on the DVR by telling you what happens: Keith pretends to be a real journalist but really just wants any attention he can get, so he attacks someone to make himself feel self-righteous and important. There, now you have more room for more Daily Show.

[...] If you’re a podcast subscriber, you know the process: you subscribe to a bunch of shows, they download to your iPod (or whatever) and then… what? Maybe you watch. Maybe you don’t. Maybe you start it but that’s it. Come on – my iPod is jammed with the things. I get to a fraction of the ones actually on my iPod. It’s a bit like the TiNo syndrome: you gather all those episodes of “NOVA” and “Frontline,” you just don’t watch them. [...]
