Last spring, as the shows wrapped up their seasons, I started to delete the season passes partially so that my recording history list would be easier to navigate, and partially because I wanted to make a choice as to which shows I should add back on in the fall.
I started adding the network shows this week: These are my returning network shows:
2. Bones (FOX)
3. Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles (FOX)
TBA. Heroes (NBC)
TBA. Lost (ABC)
To be added as a new show:
Life On Mars (ABC)
Gee, do I qualify as DBSTalk's SHORTEST season pass list with 10 shows (and 5 are not airing episodes at this time).
The condo take s care of the outside so that's one thing off my list!
As to the rest, most of my shows are seasonal, so they're not on all at the same time. Some shows I also just don't watch right away. For example, last season I saved all Kyle XY and ER shows and didn't start watching until mid-summer. Then I had marathons...

We'll watch what we can, but mostly the stuff at the bottom of the list will going onto the eSATA drive and/or the TB drive on my PC, for viewing over the Winter when other shows are in reruns. This year, especially, there are so many good new shows and good returning shows that we have an especially long Season Pass list. Typically, we record about 25 shows, watching about 20 of them during the week they're broadcast and the other five at some later date.
We also live in a condo -- it is amazing if that's a big differentiator in one's available leisure time. If so, then I'm doubly-glad.
Beyond that, on a typical night, we're done with dinner after work about 6:30 PM, each night, and we go to bed about 9:15 PM. With a TiVo, we can easily enjoy three hours of television on weekdays, and another hour or so each weekend day, so we probably could watch 23 hours of television a week, excepting vacations and visits and such.
24 pre-movie in Nov. and then Jack's back in January. If Jack Bauer and Chuck Norris mixed their sperm and gave it to Angelina Jolie then that would be one bad a** kid.
Your list looks awfully familiar, but I noticed you don't have Sons of Anarchy which follows The Shield premier on Fx 09/02. Might be worth recording and watching/
The new 90210! I can't wait! I used to watch BH 90210 in High School! I can't wait for Sept 2nd!
