there is a great article out in circulation about the stress associated with falling behind in your tivo viewing. and it's true - while tivo makes it possible not to plan your thursday night around must-see tv, you do need to have the time to "make-up" your must see tv viewing later - or it haunts you.

currently i have about 4 hours of tv that i'm eager to watch... and no time on the horizon...

that being said, the article puts a very negative spin on the phenomenon. and although i'm "behind" in my viewing and do spend 20 minutes or so "housekeeping" to rid my dear tivo of unneeded shows- i do still love my tivo would recommend it to ANYONE! seriously kids, ask santa for one for christmas... it only mildly enhances the obsessive, compulsive disorder in your nature.
