Using the above, I have Myth tell me about /every/ new series that comes
on TV.  Then, I set up a record all rule for each of those series. 
Then, I don't watch the new shows.  Instead, I wait /at least/ 6 months
(often until the season ends) and delete those shows that were canceled
or those shows that people generally say aren't worth watching.  But
those shows that people say are worth watching or that everyone is
talking about, I watch.  I've actually found some shows that I would
/never/ have considered watching based on the titles/descriptions--and
been able to watch every episode of them from the pilot to the most
recent--with this approach.  (Using LiveTV to stumble across new shows,
I'd probably have missed a few episodes--or at least part of the pilot.)
