Law and Order/Monday Night Football

Yesterday we borrowed a different TV from some friends. He is a pro football player who is now playing in the Netherlands. They still have a house in Stavanger, and they keep their basement apartment furnished for when they return home to visit. This is a larger TV than the one we had. It is an English TV, so we need a little adaptor for the outlet. It is still 220 volts, but it uses a different plugin. Also, we need to tune it through a Norwegian VCR. It gets a bit complicated sometimes.

Last night I watched a rerun of the Vikings/Packers game. Again, no commercials, except during half-time- and there were only a few. It really cut the game short. It is like Tivo, except I don't need to pay any attention to fast forwarding. Later, on NRK, Law and Order was on- again, with no commercials. Back in Minneapolis, we had a DVR, and we would usually time shift watching Law and Order (and most TV, for that matter). We would record it and start watching it about twenty minutes late. That way we could speed through all the commercials.
