Don't blame Tivo
Okay, I'll admit it: I had a ranting fit when I got to the end of the Gilmore Girls season finale--at about a 40-minute delay--and ReplayTV had cut off the very last few seconds of the show. Then I went to the boards to see what happened at the end and found that all the Tivo users had the same problem, so it wasn't my ReplayTV; it was the WB.
I have a feeling that the networks have finally figured out a way to get back at us for the whole PVR thing: they run the shows over so we lose the cliffhanger ending. Thus encouraging us to... what? Quit using our PVRs? Get real, WB: I'd rather wait till the whole season comes out on DVD or on Lifetime or something than give up my ReplayTV. It's the last model with commercial advance. So neener neener neener.
