It floors me that anyone would say this.
I know-floors me too. I go for the Serling intros and am lover of kitschy stuff and a Hitch fan. I blame late night tiredness, and what DVR has done to my patience level.

Now i am back to watching them. I like how after the 60s style macabre ending, Hitch puts a quick happy face on it by letting us know the bad guys are in jail.

And Anne Francis and the 60s chicks and their pointers..va va va voom.

I've never owned, nor had access to a DVR or Tivo or anything like that. Ever.

But only sporting events, The Walking Dead and SOA do I watch "live".

The sports I really care about--namely, the Cardinals--I still watch live. But I have started Super Bowls 90 minutes late or so.

My brother-in-law prides himself on using the DVR between every play and eventually catching up to the live feed for Super Bowls. He still watches all the commercials and I'm pretty sure the halftime show.

It's not that I couldn't do without the banter between Nantz/Simms or Buck/Aikman, but I just don't think I'd care enough to try and remember to hit fast forward after every play.

Not to derail the fundraiser "get Doc a DVR"...after 3 amazing episodes of Walking Dead to start the mid season return they've had 2 pretty marginal episodes & one pretty damn useless one (the whole hospital episode). They look to be leading up to some good stuff here in the next one though.
