I Finally Did It!

Deb Savvy — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 01:36:50 +0000

Those of you who know me best know all to well about the pathetically small and old televisions at my house. It’s ironic because I really LOVE to watch TV. It’s ridiculous because the rooms in my house are huge and the televisions are beyond tiny. I’d been threatening to replace them for years. Well, I finally bit the bullet. I bought a 26 inch flat screen HDTV LCD television for my bedroom about two weeks ago and I was so thrilled that last night I ordered a new 32 inch flat screen HDTV LCD television / DVD combo. I can hardly wait for it to arrive!

Best of all – I paid less than $250 for the 26 inch television and less than $325 for the 32 inch TV / DVD combo unit.

Wondering where I found such unbelievable bargains? Overstock.com – where else!

If you’re in the market for a new TV I suggest you surf right on over there. The selection is HUGE and the prices as AMAZING! I saw an ad in the paper today for the exact model I ordered last night – and it was $125 more than I paid.

If You Didn’t See It…

Deb Savvy — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 02:26:56 +0000

If you didn’t see it, then you absolutely must. And if you did see it, then, like me, you probably want to see it again.

The Jewish Americans: A Series by David Grubin DVD

And in case you missed it, The Mormons was equally fascinating, exceedingly well done and thoroughly engrossing.

The Mormons DVD

It’s well worth having both in your library. Accompanying books and soundtrack CD’s are also available for many PBS titles, as are many other learning resources.

Just the TV for the Bedroom

Deb Savvy — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 23:46:32 +0000

All the televisions in my house are old. And way too big and bulky. Especially the one in my bedroom. It’s almost as deep as it is wide. And the stack of components underneath it is such a mess.

Like many people, I really enjoy watching TV and movies in my bedroom. But that doesn’t mean I want my personal sactuary to include an entire ‘home entertainment center’. I’ve been shopping for a new television and came across the Toshiba 23 Inch Diagonal LCD TV with Built-in DVD Player. The built in DVD means there’s one less component required – and the flat screen and HD picture are perfect for movie watching. $999 at homevisions.com. A 19 inch model is available for $699.

Office Crazy!

Deb Savvy — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 04:29:32 +0000

I admit it, I’ve gone crazy for The Office. It is by far some of the funniest television I’ve seen in years. It’s not so surprising that I’d be a fan, I’m a huge TV junkie. But I am far from the only one, it seems like everyone I know is a fan of The Office. So far, I’ve watched all of seasons 1 and 2 on DVD. And I can’t wait to watch season 3. I’m not going to watch any of the new episodes until I’m all caught up. It’s just too deliciously evil and fun – and I’m not going to spoil any surprises for myself.
