Well, not really evil… \u00a0Devious, perhaps.<\/p>\n
I’ve been making a concerted effort lately to limit my TV viewing. \u00a0I’ve always been of the opinion that my time could be better spent on more noble and creative pursuits, but after a full day of work, school assignments, household chores, and seemingly unending battles of wits with my kids (and occasionally, my wife), sometimes all I want to do is relax on the couch with some passive entertainment.<\/p>\n
But my \u00a0TiVo doesn’t want it that way.<\/p>\n
It knows the shows that I like. \u00a0Even though I have not asked it to, it records reruns of such beloved shows as Cheers<\/em> and Seinfeld<\/em>–episodes I’ve almost committed to memory and offer the comfort and predictability that is so lacking in every other aspect of my life.<\/p>\n I appreciate the thought, TiVo, and you’re doing a great job, but I’m afraid I must break this spell you’ve cast over me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, not really evil… \u00a0Devious, perhaps.
