A couple more reasons never to get off the couch

While there might be a stigma surrounding the claim of "television watching" as a hobby, the Guido's don't mind calling it theirs. And as of yesterday, our television watching experience just got a whole lot better.

A couple weeks ago we came home to a letter at our doorstep. The letter was from a Comcast representative and it stated that our current cable package was about to "expire" and it offered incentive to stay on for another year. Now I thought the whole idea of a package was to hook you for the first year and then jack up the price once the promotional period was over. I guess I was wrong! Long story short, we now have HD, DVR, a ton more channels, and telephone for LESS than what we paid last year. Score!

While Joe is drooling over the crystal clear HD picture, I'm most excited about DVR! So many of my favorite TV shows come on after my bed time so I frequently fall asleep before I finish watching them. And yes, that means they come on after 10:00...I know, we're old people. I've set out to record:




The Little Couple on TLC...love them!






Design Star on HGTV...even better this season because Vern, Genevieve and Candace. Sadly, the Washington D.C. girl is very annoying and needs to be kicked off.






Kendra on E!







...just to name a few. I'll even get to catch daytime flicks like Oprah and Tyra without having to take off work. Joe will continue watching sports, sports, and more sports so I don't know if he'll love DVR as much as I plan to.

Clearly, we are excited!

  1. Awesome deal! I went in to Comcast today to bump down my bill, and when the lady told me I could take the DVR off my plan, I almost cried. I NEED it now that I've had it for a while.

    The Little Couple looks cute. I'll have to check it out!
