Conflict Negotiations

Now that TV is accessible through more than one avenue (god bless you, DVR and internet), figuring out what to watch everything (and how) should be easier, but in the end, all it does it make things more complicated as you can easily fit more shows into any given schedule. Back in the day, I had more than a few Sophie's Choice moments when deciding what to watch (Veronica Mars is the reason I never got hooked on Lost), but now I can catch everything I care about with room to spare most nights. There are still a few log-jams to navigate, however, so it's looking like Monday night might just see a resurgence of the old TV I have in my bedroom to catch the overflow... Awwh, that takes me back...

Anyway, here's a breakdown of what conflicts with what. If you're partial to a grid presentation, here you go. I don't know why, but that just isn't as easy for me to read... The times listed are Mountain Standard Time (assuming I didn't screw up anywhere), so adjust as needed for peeps outside my region.

Good luck! And may the DVR be with you...
