I do a lot of recording on my DVD recorder, mostly series stuff on PBS. I can usually tell when I’ve already got a recording in the first 15 seconds of the program. So, I delete those seconds.
I don’t know if other Networks do this, but “The Discovery Channel” is kind of sneaky. They “mark” their repeats as “New”, and sometimes I’m viewing something I’ve already seen for awhile before I realize it’s a repeat. Luckily, it’s usually a show like “What On Earth”, that I actually don’t mind seeing many of the segments again…

I prefer to watch a program I’ve already watched when it’s couch nap time.

It’s déjà vu all over again,_ to quote Yogi Berra.

That’s OK—-as long as it’s “new to me”.

Sad to say, but it does happen on occasion.

must’ve been good if it was worth watching twice. :D

Or how about I’ve been watching for an hour and just realized that I could have been zipping through the commercials.

He could probably watch it a third time and still not know. He must be letting his mind wander.

Brutus must suffer from Boredom dementia – He is seeking entertainment.

Oh well, Brutus, oh well?

Sometimes what’s on the screen is just background noise. It’s fine, Brutus, sometimes we all need some time to zone out and not think about things.

Must be good. So many things are good, or even better, the second time around, especially movies……

When I watch something I dvr’d , I usually watch for an hour before I realize I can fast forward through the commercials!

Well at least he didn’t rent a movie and after the first five minutes realized that he had already seen it.

Some times it does take awhile for the brain to awaken and catch up.

Brutus is watching the Yule Log channel.

If it took that long to realize it, did you really watch it before?

That’s how “classics” are identified. :)

That has happened to me. Only with movies. If it has been a while. And it’s not like I have time to watch what I have already seen.

There have been a few times I watched a mediocre but not terrible movie; then years later forgot, watched most of it, and then realized my mistake.
Laurie Stoker Premium Member about 3 years ago
Been there, done that. Although I must say in my defense that I usually recognize it after maybe ten minutes.
