Or I could continue not paying for cable, not paying for a TiVo, and simply using my existing expenses, Netflix (ten-to-fifteen bucks a month) and internet (comped by work) to engage the slim number of television shows that seem worthwhile.
In the arm-wrestling match over better stewardship of time and money, I think I win.
Plus, Devin still has his time management bound up by his need to watch the show before the weekly conversation in which the staff discusses the show. He’s not as free as he thinks.

I’m with you on the Netflix instead of cable plan. It’s worked out great for us. Just missing all the commercials probably added 15 years to our lives.
@Alan – Plus, cable cost what? like a million dollars?
Over 15 years, probably.
