:)  I just deleted every single episode of 3 seasons of a show I never 
started watching because I decided a) I can't see myself getting into 
that show and b) I have way too much other (more interesting) stuff to 
watch.

I'm really hoping that the networks start canceling some of the new 
series from this year as I always set up my system to record every 
episode of every new series--just in case--and delete any series that's 
canceled or that friends (with similar TV tastes) say aren't worth 
watching.  If, on the other hand, they tell me how great a show is, I'll 
watch it--even if I don't think I'll like it--to find out if it is worth 
watching.  At this point, I have a lot of TV that I would feel guilty 
about deleting but that I don't think I'll ever be interested in 
watching, so I'm hoping the networks will give me an excuse to delete it.
