This Is Us. Anyone watching?

Can you schedule your DVR to tape beyond the scheduled show time @deb922 ??? Is that what you mean that because sports is never on time the taping gets mixed up?

I can @abasket. I like Madam Secretary and have the series set to record. CBS is terrible about timing and more often than not I will only get maybe half of the show. I don’t always remember to tape the show afterwards.

Maybe this should go in the little things that annoy you. But when the games always go over, it’s a pattern and not unintentional. I will tape the show afterwards but then I have to scroll for where it starts and hope that I’ve recorded enough.

I know why my kids have unplugged from traditional cable. I would too but there is a lot of sports that we watch.

What I do for shows affected by the Sunday football game, like 60 Minutes and Madame Secretary, is have the DVR regularly record the show that comes on after. Hopefully, I’ll remember to do that for the Superbowl, which I don’t watch.

@deb922 Does your cable offer replays, for example, Comcast/Xfinity and their OnDemand?

What is a DVR? One of few households that has never had one. If I miss a show, I watch it online. Most shows at this point are available online after a few days.

Man, the therapy session his some nerves. lol

I don’t have cable or a DVR. I’ve watched ā€œThis is Usā€ online the next day if I miss it Tues night. I’ll probably do that for the episode after the Super Bowl since I won’t be watching the game & don’t want to stay up that late to catch it live.

Obviously, I meant ā€œhitā€ above.

I also set the dvr with extra time, I think I can even give it a few hours extra. But I’d hate to have to accidentally see football instead - lol I’m more likely to watch the puppy/kitten bowls.

If there is reason to think we will find out how Jack died in the episode after the Super Bowl, I will be watching it live even if the SB ends at 2 am.

According to ā€œThis is Usā€ executive producer, Isaac Aptaker, in an interview I just read today, ā€œThe last five minutes might be my favorite thing we’ve done on the show to date. I think it’s going to leave our audience very eager to see what happens next.ā€

Happy watching tonight everyone :slight_smile:

:((

Very emotional.
Lines (maybe not exact) that got to me :

Kevin to Randall- You’re going to be a great old man, by the way, you’ll be like your other dad."

Jack to Randall, when Randall tells him he kissed a girl. ā€œI’m sure you were a gentleman.ā€

Answer a question, ask 5 more.

The last 5 minutes tonight, no no no… !! Reminder to self, stock up on Kleenex for the after super bowl episode.

I didn’t love this episode but looking forward to the next one!

Yup, executive producer was right :(( (see my above post, #670)ā€¦ā€œyou’ve got to fiddle with the switchā€¦ā€

Ugh! The crockpot!! So at least the fire isn’t anyone’s fault. I am definitely watching after the Super Bowl!

My heart hurts…I think I’m a little too invested in this show! But I still don’t understand why Kate thinks it’s her fault. I wonder if she doesn’t go when her dad tells her to or she begs him to run back in for the dog or…?

DH makes chili in our ancient crockpot on SB Sunday. We’ve always been sure to unplug it when we’re done.

It broke my heart that Kevin never saw the note that Jack left for him. Unfortunately, I’ll have to rewatch to see what exactly was in the note. It reminded me of my last interaction with my father before he died unexpectedly. We argued about where he’d rent the tux for my wedding - an issue I personally didn’t care about but which DH’s parents wanted me to talk to my father about (groom’s tux would’ve been free if they rented enough tuxes).
