Thanks, TIVO
Published December 16, 2003
TIVO thinks I speak Spanish. TIVO thinks I like every crime drama on television. TIVO thinks I like sappy movies just because they're on HBO. TIVO thinks I like more than a dozen sitcoms I hate. TIVO thinks a lot of things about me that aren't true.
But one thing that is true — I like 1950s detective stories based in Los Angeles, with lots of fast talking, wise-ass attitude, men in grey suits and dames that would make your gin fizzle. How TIVO figured that out about me, I don't know, but for the first time, tonight, TIVO taped a show that I dug and wouldn't have found on my own: Racket Squad (Also available on DVD).
The dialog is banel. The plot predictable. The acting stilted. Even the editing is subpar. It's so cheesy, only an idiot with no taste would hate it.

TiVO is fantasic! It's too bad they aren't doing so well financially.
If PVRs ever become simpler for PCs, it will really spell doom for TiVO.
The TiVO Season Pass function is particularly useful!
