Dammit why didn't someone tell me that Nip/Tuck already started?
Why didn't season's pass pick it up?
Why?

20 minutes is perfect. 30 is even better. I have a thick soft rug in my office for this very purpose.

I thought it was for your head.

Do they let you out if you're a trial lawyer?

Well, I was a litigator at the time I got picked, although only a 1st year, so hardly a trial lawyer yet. (The Houston based firm I later worked for told me they would make me a trial lawyer, and indeed they did. 6 weeks later I was 2nd chairing a trial, but I digress . . .)

How about a merkin? It's a fashion forward alternative.

Mine didn't either, and I am pissed (damn you TiVo!), but the "Find a Program to Record" feature indicates that there is a Nip/Tuck episode tomorrow night. There is no description, so I cannot tell if it is a repeat of the season premier, but am taping nonetheless.

In an effort to save you all lots and lots of time on the phone, do not call DirecTV re: the MPEG 4 satellite receiver with DVR (not Tivo). They will read from a script, put you on hold and then forward you to a person who supposedly knows something. Then they will hang up on you. Even though you're a fucking VIP customer. And they acknowledge that you're a fucking VIP customer. Then when you call back and ask to be fast-tracked to the appropriate person, they will tell you that that is unpossible and that you will have to wait in the fucking queue with the rest of the schmoes.

So, my gift to you is this - if you'd like to receive FOX in HD and you want a DVR on your HD satellite, and you have the upgraded 5 LNB dish, you will have to go to Best Buy, who has an exclusive on this box until September 16th or so. By then, the supply will have evaporated to about nothing. DirecTV will not have any of these boxes available for free upgrade until some time in November.

The season premier was September 5th according to Fox and Brooke Sheilds who was on Leno the other night, but that I didn't watch the Leno episode until last night. Fox website says next episode is episode 2

Matt's decision to join a new path in life (I don't know how that's done) is met with uncertainty by his family.

I re-set my TiVo season pass for the show yesterday. When I looked up the upcoming episodes, it showed two unnamed episodes this week, two showings of an episode with a common name next week, and two unnamed episodes the week after that, so I think there is a decent chance that they are doing a rebroadcast of each episode later the same week (like they way HBO runs its episodic shows), but who knows . . .

In the past, Tuesday's new episode of Nip/Tuck has been reaired on Friday and Sunday at 11. I've taken advantage of this when there were three shows I wanted to watch Tuesday at 10.

Thank you! That was what I figured. Doesn't explain why TiVo burned me the 1st time, but at least I'll catch the episode.

It's been brought to my attention that I failed to give you my usual Newber welcome and words of wisdom from a high-posting mid-skooler. So, here goes:

The board is like a cocktail party except when it is not. Don't be a jackass.

Thanks for the welcome, PLF! (What, no dainty petunias for the newber?)

Could I please get a definition of "jackass" as used herein? TIA!

I don't think I'm getting the same thing everyone else is. It's just a lingerie page - and pretty low-budget one at that.
