hehe..  Yes, last season was pretty bad.  I can't tell you how many 
episodes of "Without A Trace" last season I had to download (Without A 
Trace followed Cold Case which followed The Amazing Race which, in turn, 
followed 60 minutes (which we don't record intentionally!).

Last season, we would pad it about 30 minutes and we'd get the entire 
show, but this year it is horrible.  I am not sure what is playing prior 
to everything, but it consistently runs over.  During football season, 
we always just attributed it to that, but it's off season, so that can't 
be the issue.
