We made a little headway on the DVR today as we watched Smallville, Supernatural and NCIS. Now if we could only keep up this pace, we may actually catch up. Luckily, the weekend is ahead of us, and we have no specific plans, so as soon as we watch Stargate Universe, we can tackle the rest of the backlog.
