Now that you've seen most of the fall schedule, are there times that you will be needing a DVR (or 2?). How about the Monday night at 8pm time slot with House, Heroes and How I Met Your Mother all on at the same time. Do Thursday nights have you realizing that you will have to catch up on most of the shows over the weekend because there are too many good series all in one night?
Good luck figuring out your recording and watching schedule. And don't forget to watch the 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards tomorrow night, Sunday, September 20th at 8pm (Luckily, even if you don't record the premieres of Curb Your Enthusiasm and Bored to Death, HBO will repeat them during the week).
