You know, TiVo has a dark side.
When you stop watching the stuff TiVo has recorded for you, say for a little more than a week, perhaps because you're alternating between watching season 5 of Babylon 5 and working on a chapter of a book, you end up with a huge backlog of good TV that you really want to watch, but you can never find the time to get through it all.
Curse you TiVo!
