The way I have this figured, TiVo does not count repeat episodes in this list, and with the WGA strike there is wild movement week-to-week. Journeyman fans rejoice! Props to the CSI franchise and CBS for its top 10 domination, and Nip/Tuck for making the top 10. A special shout out to my Smallville loving brethren.

I’m hesitant to report these numbers because I doubt their accuracy, but these are the numbers reported. Why do I doubt their accuracy? The #2 and #3 shows (Desperate Housewives and House) fell off the list completely. Perhaps some erroneous filtering around the word “House”. Let’s hope that when you’re actually buying data from TiVo they do a better job of number crunching than they do when they’re giving the data away. Don’t shoot the messenger.

This list doesn’t represent the most recorded shows via TiVo, but rather the most recorded shows via TiVo’s “season pass” feature. So far it seems, at least for the top 6 shows, that the TiVo list is a good barometer for the shows that wind up the most recorded and watched across the country. Desperate Housewives and CSI flip around in this list vs. the most watched (numerically) shows via DVR, but otherwise the top 6 is identical.
