  • Bill

    Ghost Whisperer(will now delete since Jim did indeed die)
    11th Hour
    CSI

  • Cory

    For a while I was DVRing Fringe, Heroes, and Degrassi, but I’ve since cut them all. Fringe is too boring, Heroes has lost too much of it’s sparkle, and Degrassi has lost too many of the original cast members. Plus, my DVR was getting to crowded.

  • Miss Sassy

    Private Practice. But I finally erased them all last night when I had an epiphany and realized I no longer give a crap about any of those whiny characters. Shonda really needs to fix that show. Although Grey’s Anatomy is awesome this year, so if Private Practice stinking is the sacrifice that has to be made, so be it. Bring Kate Walsh back to Seattle. Just make sure she brings Tim Daly with her. He’s so hot. He could hang around with the Dermatology group and make everybody jealous!

  • Wanda

    Bill: Is 11th Hour any good? I’ve heard it was but need a second opinion.

  • Moe

    1. ER
    2. One Tree Hill
    I really want to watch them, yet erase them. I don’t know why.

  • jen

    my own worst enemy (waiting to see if it gets picked up before I waste any time actually watching it, first epi seemed ok)
    heroes (although i finally erased them all last night & removed the season pass
    sanctuary (looks awesome & my husband has watched them & says they’re good, i just don’t have time yet to devote yet)

  • Sara

    “Flip That House”, “How It’s Made”, “What Not to Wear”.

  • Katie

    True Blood [haven't watched any yet but haven't deleted them either]
    Samantha Who? [will probably get around to them eventually, when everything else is in repeats]

  • Rich

    Fringe and Heroes.

  • Patty

    The last thing I did this with was the PBS/Ken Burns series – The War. Couldn’t watch it, even though I have enjoyed all other KB series, this was too depressing, boring. As far as regular series go, if I don’t watch them in a timely manner, they get deleted. I don’t like my TiVo crowded with crap – Earl and Eli are off the season pass this year.

  • Lauren

    Heroes and Ugly Betty. I already kicked Heroes off the season pass and am about to for Ugly Betty.

  • Jennifer

    This is kind of pathetic but I really like having extra stuff on my DVR to watch on lazy days at home. For those purposes I have It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, Throwdown with Bobby Flay, Dinner Impossible, Doctor Who, and Robin Hood. Also have Life on Mars, which I haven’t decided if I want to keep, and Heroes, which I’ve stopped watching but I don’t know, can’t quite cut it off completely yet.

  • Evan

    Crusoe has been sitting on my DVR since the beginning, and I’ve yet to watch an episode. We also have a good number of Jon & Kate Plus 8 piled up.

  • Ceballos

    1. Life on Mars
    2. Life on Mars
    3. Life on Mars
    I mean, I don’t have anything against it. I watched the pilot and enjoyed it, but I just can’t get myself excited about sitting down and watching the rest of them.

  • Anne

    It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and 90210 are constantly on my Tivo and only get watched when I have a lazy Sunday or am sick. I recently gave up watching Heroes, which interestingly, I feel relieved about!

  • banan

    Spain on the road again and the Tudors

  • Todd

    Dirty Sexy Money (finally pulled the DVR plug on it last night)
    Heroes (ok, i keep watching it, but find myself doing other things while it is on)

  • Meghan

    Dancing with the Stars

  • sarah

    Fringe and My Own Worst Enemy

  • Sue Lady

    Life on Mars – haven’t watched any yet, but I keep planning to.
    My Own Worst Enemy – watched the first one, haven’t gotten around to watching the rest yet.
    It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia – I love this show, just always forget about it.

  • April

    Fringe, Life on Mars, and Blind Date (I loved this show in college but I can’t find the time to watch it.)
    I think my subconscious is telling me that I’m no longer interested in these shows.

  • MWC

    1) Eureeka
    2) Pushing Daisies
    3) Heroes
    4) Fringe

  • coco

    True Blood and Life On Mars. Similar to Ceballos, I want to watch them but I can get myself to. I deleted True Blood and I think that Life on Mars is next.
    Also, I record random HGTV shows and never watch them.

  • coco

    *can’t

  • carson

    pushing daisies. i feel really bad not watching it, but i haven’t gotten around to it.

  • To banan

    Watch The Tudors! NOW! And you’ll wonder how you ever let those puppies sit on your DVR so long.

  • Sean

    1.)Heroes
    2.)House
    3.)Sons of Anarchy
    However for Chuck and Life on mars they are definite Must Watch shows. Everyone is missing out on two excellent shows.

  • hiptownrose

    Desperate Housewives, ’cause I love Neil McDonough but I have always hated this show.
    The Mentalist, but I will catch parts of it when it airs.
    How I Met Your Mother, makes me LOL but get on with it already!
    Lost. Sigh.

  • Kellan

    My Own Worst Enemy sits & waits. I want to make sure its not getting cancelled before I bother watching. Fringe constantly ends up waiting at least a week before I watch it. 2 episodes in there now.
    I watched 3 episodes of Tru Blood before they ended up on hold in my DVR. I finally erased them since I can watch them On Demand if I ever want to (unlikely).

  • Lauren

    True Blood
    Fringe
    Stylista
    90210
    and it usually takes me until the following Monday to watch Heroes
