Sunday, January 12th...it's TV Overload Day!!!

On Sunday, January 12th I'm going to wish I had whole house DVR service & could record 5 shows at once.  I will have to get creative about scheduling all of my recordings, thank God for reruns!

At 8:00 it's The Golden Globes on NBC which will be on for at least 3 hours (plus the Red Carpet stuff before & after, ahhh!) and it doesn't rerun so I only have room for 1 other recording at the same time & the battles will begin at 9:00 when Shameless is back for its 4th season on Showtime & HBO has the series premiere of True Detective which I'm really looking forward to.  Then at 10:00 on HBO it's the 3rd season premiere of Girls and on Showtime it's the 3rd season premiere of House of Lies followed by the 3rd season premiere of Episodes at 10:30 but I don't watch that show so that saves me 30 minutes of shuffling.

Free Showtime Weekend!!!

You all know I love me some Showtime & they are having a free viewing weekend, Friday to Sunday...conveniently of course the new seasons of Shameless & Californication start Sunday as does the new series House of Lies starring Don Cheadle.  The show is a comedy & has some other great cast members as well so I will at least watch the first episode to see if I like it but if it's on Showtime I'm sure I will.  Of course not all cable providers are offering the free weekend like WOW which most of you probably have but if you have Comcast, Verizon, Charter, Direct TV or some others I've never heard of then you will be getting it.  Click here to see if your company is on the list & for the hell of it, if it isn't, I'd check the channels anyway & don't forget the free OnDemand too!
