Trading Spaces, Junkyard Wars, home improvement shows on DIY and Discovery:
Home and Garden, West Wing, Scrubs, Dead Like Me, Daily Show, Tough Crowd,
X-Play, Samurai Jack, Daria, Nova, Most Extreme Elimination Challenge and 
Adult Swim on Cartoon Network are all reasons to have TV  The disparate
showing times of all of these shows is a reason to have Tivo.  I find most
good programs are shown at poor times.  I can only derive from this fact
that the shows I enjoy are less popular than the crap that's generally shown
just before or during prime time.
