Operation Repo

There is this show on TruTV (formerly Court TV) that is a so called "reality show" about these people who go around repossessing cars.  It's a family business.  How these people got their own show is beyond me.  Probably because they are all jerks and that makes for awesome tv.

I personally can't stand it but Chip loves it.  It just pisses me off and I get so mad that I have to get up and leave.

It's not them repossessing the cars but more how they do it.  They are violent, they hit, shove, yell, scheme, and just act like total assholes the whole time and they are supposed to be in the right.

I'm sorry but it's not legal to just go around hitting people.  If the person who you are basically stealing their car with all their stuff in it hits you first then hitting them is warranted but they are always the ones doing the hitting.

There was this one episode that really stands out for me where they snuck into this place where this jet was and they hid inside the office and as soon as the pilot came into the office their muscle man guy grabbed the pilot by the neck with his arm and held him up against the wall.  For all this guy knew they were robbing him.  He had no idea why they were there or why they were stealing the plane he was in charge of.  He wasn't even the owner, just the pilot (that I know of).

It's not civilized to go around assaulting people.  Just tell the person you are repo'ing their car, have them sign it and take it but don't go bullying and assaulting people.  These people should've been arrested for assault and battery.

Yes I do realize that they have to repo because people are dead beats who don't pay their bills and I'm not excusing them.  All I'm saying is that these repo people aren't acting like civilized human beings.

New Season of My Shows

I've updated my TV page to add links to each show as well as adding more shows to the schedule since they now have dates of when they will be on.  I found all this information at the Futon Critic website which is a great resource for anything that is tv series related.

There are only a few of my shows that are going to be premiering this week such as Destination Truth on Wednesday, Vampire Diaries and SuperNatural are on Thursday.  Those are the only new seasons for me this week.  I will have to wait 2 more weeks for other shows.

I've noticed that there are some shows that will be on at the same time like Smallville and Ghost Whisperer both at 8pm on different channels.  Thank goodness for video on demand with Bright House cable and Hulu and the channels website.

Isn't this a great digital age we live in?  In the past ever since tv was invented if you miss a show then you will have to wait for it to repeat to see it.  That is unless you recorded it.  But what if you didn't?  There have been so many times that I forgot to set my VCR or DVD recorder to record something.  Having a cable box makes it even more difficult to record something because the cable box has to be on that channel to be able to record your show.  You have to set all your programs to record on channel 3.

A lot of people have a TiVo or a DVR with their cable or satellite company but you have to pay a leasing fee as well as a service fee every month to be able to get a DVR with your cable service.  I was looking at the price for DirectTV and they charge you both those fees.  I know TiVo charges you a monthly fee of like $12 or something a month and you have to buy the box up front.

Having a DVR sounds like a really cool idea but I just don't have that $12-$15 per month to put up just to record my shows.  I will just have to rely on the web and my DVD recorder lol.
