Not sure what kind of a DVR you have, Imzadi. I have a TiVo, model Roamio Plus. It will record 150 hours of HD or 1,000 hours of standard definition, or some combination of both. I do set mine for a 90 minute record for GFM due to the potential sports overlap. I can record, if I recall, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes longer, and then 1, 1 1/2, 2 and 3 hours longer. With the recording capacity of the TiVo I have never run into a problem. It will also record 6 channels simultaneously. As I said in the OP, I am not a weekly series junkie, so that is also part of my not having a problem. The TiVO, though an extra cost, is an excellent device. And they invented the DVR.Haven't seen it yet either. But I have a different question you guys can answer:
How do you record this show on your DVR? Or any Sunday nite show on CBS? With the various ball games in the afternoons on CBS, a Sunday nite show can be air anytime from being on time, to 5 min late, to 75 min late.
I had this same problem when I used to record, The Good Wife, and Madam Secretary. I have Time Warner cable. It doesn't update the programming schedule. If God Friended Me, is listed at 8pm, it starts recording at 8pm, even if the show actually starts at 9:07pm. I end up setting the DVR to record for 2 hours just to catch the 1 hour show, as I don't want to accidentally miss the end. (There is no way to set the recorder for just 1-1/2 hrs.) But, if I don't get to watch the show right away and 2 episodes are recorded, that's an extra (possibly) 2 hours of unneeded stuff recorded that clog up my DVR. I have other shows & movies I have saved on it and I really need those hours to record other shows.
What do you guys do? Do you have a better way to record the Sunday nite CBS shows?

I have DVR through Comcast, and it works the same way - I go into the series recording options and tell it to extend the recording time. (I have the option of 3, 5, or 30 minutes over, so I choose 30 and my recording is 90 minutes for this particular 60 minute program.)
We watch GFM and NCIS Los Angeles and have the same issue. I just record Madam Secretary (after NCIS) and then we have the shows that we like no matter what happens, and we can just delete what we don’t need.
I just looked. Yes, 42 minutes late. So I will have to go online to CBS and watch the end. And extend my preset GFM time to 2 hours from now on.Then you may be missing the ending of GFM. I think it started 41 minutes late last nite. I watched Madam Secretary, live, and it came on that much later.
https://www.tivo.com/Yes, I used to record GFM and Madam Secretary. But, I couldn't give up 2 extra hours each Sunday on top of the shows AND if I don't watch them that week, then I'd have 4 hours of extra stuff, over 2 weeks, that are clogging my DVR. I finally deleted all the Madam Secretary episodes and will have to catch them On Demand - with all the commercials I can't FF through.
Wow last nights show was good. How the writers put the dots together, but we are still left guess what will happen next.
Just finished watching it, about 40 minutes on the TiVo and about 5 or so on CBS online. Another great episode!!! Really great show. Two more episodes left this season.Haven't seen it yet either.

So who do you all think is in charge of the God account? I think it is to easy to have Simon Hayes be behind the God Account.

I agree with Ron here, not for some time yet, end of next season, and only if it is a two season show.I also think that is too easy, plus, if they tell us who it is, how would they continue the show? It would lose a major part of the plot. I don’t think we will find out until they decided that the show has run it’s course.

And welcome to the dis, Ron Rico.
Well, enjoy your trip, neighbor. Make sure to visit the various planning boards, in the top section of the forum. Ask questions, read a lot. A wealth of information on these boards.Thanks! My wife and I are heading to WDW in a couple of weeks on a sort of last minute trip so I joined to learn
I noticed your e-mail address and location. It is rare to see another sbcglobal address any more We are in Batavia.
