Not too sure how to manage this!

We have a few TV shows we always watch and hey guess what? The schedulers have decided to put them all on the same damn night.....Tuesday!

7pm Biggest Loser / American Idol

8pm Biggest Loser/ American Idol / Dancing with the Stars

9pm Jericho / Dancing with the Stars / The Riches

And then in 2 weeks Hell's Kitchen also starts on YEP you guessed it - Tuesday night 8pm on Fox!

I would cuss (swear) strongly at this point, but I'll refrain....

We do have the late feeds from the West Coast and I am happy to just channel surf and catch crucial bits of the Biggest Loser. But no late feed for us on Fox or FX, so I guess we'll get DWTS on DVR, but that still leaves me with a problem at 9pm. We will watch Jericho but can't DVR The Riches and DWTS!

Math never was my forte and why oh why do they put other shows against the ratings monster that is American Idol? I mean you're never going to win the ratings war, so why not spread them out a bit. I am sure Pam will be adding her 2 cents to this in a bit....

If you're a friend, don't even think about calling here on a Tuesday please :-)

Guess what - no more blogging today folks!

Sarah, don't forget they're doing the weigh in at the start of BL tonight!

Thanks Mary - had no clue on that!

Hee hee that's quite a dilemma, but at least you can catch Jericho on repeat and The Riches via Netflix. I'm not much of a reality fan so Tuesdays aren't a problem for me ;-)

I had to stop watching The Riches after the 2nd ever episode. Much as I am Eddie Izzard's greatest fan in Chicago, the tension was just too much. I might take a peek now that I know they have lasted a season.

Much as I love Eddie Izzard, I had to stop watching The Riches after they moved into that big house. The tension was more than I could stand. Now that I know they have made it to the next series, I might be able to have a look.

Idol was very boring this evening, but then they sang Beatles songs that had a range of about half an octave so what can you expect?

OMG! I know! It was a dilemma! So we watched Idol, DVR'd dancing and The Riches. PLUS, for us, on BBC America has been Last Restaurant Standing, so we had to do the late versions of those on DVR. So much TV -- so little time! I really do have a life, but it was raining after all -- who can go out walking when it is bucketing down? (I just said bucketing down, forgive me)

Well we ended up watching AI (David Archuletta was awesome, the rest blah), watching Jericho, DVR Biggest Loser 1st hour (weigh in) and DWTS.

The Riches is repeated later this week and I will catch it then. I also lost it for a few episodes of this show, but then came back, c'os I LOVE EDDIE IZZARD!

I am utterly knackered and off to bed - night ladies ;-)

Pam - how come it buckets down on you and we get bugger all!!

sarah, it buckets down here to the point of flash flooding sometimes! you picked western oklahoma (land of the dust bowl) ... didn't he warn you about it? one of pam's theories of the universe is that the storms start at lawton and travel up I-44 to OKC and then on to Tulsa. you just live north and west of the storm line!
