Got a new DVR just in time but...

I still don't think it will help us Monday night. Used to, we could record "Chuck" on NBC, while simultaneously watching "How I Met Your Mother" and "The Big Bang Theory" on CBS. When you've got a DVR that can record one channel and still show another, no problem on a night like that.

Well, tomorrow night, when one of my favorite TV shows returns five months early, we'll be in serious TV crisis mode at the Chittum's.

TNT is bringing back "The Closer" starting tomorrow. Usually, it's the show that keeps me from getting bored over the summer, but for some reason, new episodes start this week. In addition, TNT is debuting a new show, with Tom Cavanagh and Eric McCormack, right after "The Closer." Looks like we'll be taping in the living room, and watching TV in the back bedroom so we can get to all three...I know, I know, it could be a lot worse. We could have REAL problems to worry about.

I really hope "Trust Me" is good, and makes it. I have loved Tom Cavanagh since he was on "Ed" and stuck with him for the wonderful but woefully short-lived "Love Monkey" on CBS. I wish I could find season DVDs of "Ed."

Last night at Betsy's might have been foreshadowing of this impending TV bonanza. Adam and I grabbed a bite at Five Guys Burgers and Fries (really stinkin' good if you haven't tried it yet), and headed to Betsy's to help her clear off her DVR. It was 90 percent full when we started watching. They were shows that we don't typically watch - "Psych" "Top Chef" and "CSI." All were great, but as you can see, I think I'd have to quit my job if we became devoted to any more shows!

That's no good.
