DVRing is the first sign of addiction.

I've developed an irrational love for the Comedy Central show tosh.0. It's basically like The Soup except making fun of web videos instead of crappy TV and the host is some kind of deranged bastard child of Joel McHale and Dane Cook. I can see where this would generally raise two questions:

1. Why would anyone watch a show about things on the internet? I don't really have an answer to that one, but it comes on after South Park so I saw it the first time and now I'm hooked and unable to be pulled away by things like logic.

2. Doesn't adding an abomination like Dane Cook to anything automatically make it intolerably bad? One would think so, but while I hate Dane Cook, I find this other dude's spastic yelling so amusing that I'm actually considering going to see his stand up.

I love that I never bothered to watch the premieres of summer shows that I was interested in (Colin Hanks and Bradley Whitford's mustache in The Good Guys!) or keep up with shows I love (Justified!) and yet this I make the effort to DVR. Is this the first sign of the loss of touch with reality that comes with crippling old age? Or just another sign of my rapidly deteriorating good taste?
