So overwhelmed, I'll NEVER catch up!

I have got so many shows in my Tivo list that I don't know how I'll ever get caught up! I've got 7 Oprahs, 5 Marthas, 6 Views, and an Ugly Betty. I am tellin' ya what.....
Yes, folks, I love television. I feel like a kid in a candy shop with the amount of shows I have to choose from.
Where did this obsession come from?
Here's my theory:
When we lived in Sweden, there were only 2 television channels. They were government owned so there were no commercials and few shows in English. I'm trying to recall all of the shows we got. I do know that we got Dallas. My Dad subscribed to Time and/or Newsweek magazine but they were always a few months behind.....mail service to Europe was VERY slow back in the day :). I do know that we got the "Who Shot JR?" issue at least a year (maybe more) before we ever got close to getting that episode on TV.
I think we also got Little House on the Prairie, but I don't remember as a definite. There had to have been more, but I'm so bogged down with my Tivo that I'm just not sure.
FAMILY: Chime in by posting a comment if you remember others!

Tivo Helps!

I really wouldn't be able to keep up with television these days if it wasn't for Tivo. Mine can record 2 shows at the same time or record 1 while I watch another.......as long as it isn't on digital cable stations. Don't worry! I only have the digital for SoapNet, On Demand......that might be it, but I'm not sure. I'll look into that.
So, I can keep up with numerous reality TV shows. If I don't, then it will all be ruined for me because I will hear the results on the radio or online news the next day. Ruining the reality results is akin to disaster.
Here I sit, sipping a lovely Cabernet-Merlot called Hell Raiser, and checking out The Bachelor (already saw tonight's results), Dancing with the Stars (watching now), and The Biggest Loser(ready to watch in the next few minutes).
And, WOW!!!! I must tell you how much I love having my windows open this evening to capture the crispness of the air, the smell of the season..........and the wafting of the cigartettes from my most interesting neighbor who must smoke on her front porch, right next to my window. That's a story for another night!
