Lots of times at home I find myself ready to fold laundry, cook a meal, dust, or do some other mindless task and I usually flip on the TV for some entertainment. With TiVo it only takes me about 38 minutes to watch a 60 minute program because I fast forward through the whole intro, the commercials, the credits, the 'sneak peeks' at what will be on later in the week, etc. I have been filling this 38 minutes with the Ellen show, which I have to admit, I really, really like, but Ellen has a lot of celebrity interviews and/or bands on her show and I fast forward through those and sometimes only end up with about 18 minutes of interesting-to-me Ellen.
Last year I decided to add Oprah to my TV viewing. Sadly, poor Oprah didn't last but 2 weeks before she got yanked from my TiVo because of I couldn't take her coverage of the election any longer. I haven't seen a single show or even a preview since.
Are there any Oprah watchers out there? Any suggestions for shows that require little attention and can be TiVo edited down to about 20 minutes?

I am starting to become a fan of the Dr. Oz show. I turn it on while I cook dinner at night. There are a lot of segments that you could fast forward through as not all of them will be of interest.
I love a few comedies that are on in the evenings too-Modern Family, Community and The Office are all funny.
Hi Karen, you know I have never tried the Dr. Oz show and I bet I would like it. I like The Office too but have never seen Modern Family or Community. Thank you for your suggestions, I'll give them a try.
Funny how Dr. Oz started on Oprah and he is where he is today because of her.....minus the election she still has some interesting stuff....although I have to be honest and say I have only checked online because I am not a TV person. ETWN has been really good during lent...Sr. Angelica is hilarious and very thought provoking.
I am not familiar with ETWN - I'll have to check that out too. Thanks for the feedback!

Real Housewives. Millionnair Matchmaker or Shear Genius on BRAVO or Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the Wild Things or Kendra on E! network...I like to dummy down for mundane houseshores....
