This was so funny i just have to share (I won't spoil the winner in case for some reason you don't know).

So my wife is totally into A.I. , i personally can't stand it. But she's been all into it this year even more than the last ones. She TiVo's it so she can skip most of the fluff in the show which is like 70% of the content i think but anyway...

We're watching it last night in bed. It gets all the way to the end and my wife's like oh i hope David Cook wins, he's the better choice for selling albums, what's that young kid going to sing really? Anyway she's all totally into this and Brian's announcing, And the winner is .... David... <end of recording> . The show went like a minute long or something so the tivo shut off and moved on to the next show it was schedule to record.

I almost peed the bed i laughed my ass off so hard. It was just such perfect timing, two Davids were the finalists and not a single syllable of the last name got said so she had no idea who the winner was. The look on her face when the recording stopped right then was just sheer gold. She made me look it up on my phone (after she was finished hitting me for laughing so hard) which was charging on my night stand because she couldn't go to sleep not knowing.

Anyway, i just had to share.

LOL...I so hate it when that happens with the DVR. I HATE it. I know exactly how she feels. Now I know what it looks like when I go...well...ballistic about it.

A few networks do that on purpose just to screw with tivo. If it's a show my wife really wants to see she will set it for 5 min. before and after which really clogs up the reciever when recordings overlap. But that timing was priceless!

LOL! Perfect! I don't have TiVo, but I always used to set those ancient VCR's to start recording a few minutes before and after what I wanted recorded. I have to hand it to you, I don't think I'd be able to handle having to sit through that crap...unless there was some kind of payoff once it's over ;-)

A bunch of people in my office had that happen to them. I asked them why haven't they learned the trick of setting a recording for 2 or 3 minutes past the scheduled end. I do that for almost all the shows I watch.
