We're only 10 days out now and I get the privilege (hehe) of heading up the Show Summaries since I sorta did it last year. :) Here is how it works....

Each show night, we need two volunteers to alternate summarizing the show and emailing it to me.

This summary is for those who miss the show and need to know what happened. It is not a transcript of the entire hour (although I found myself doing that waaaaay too often). It is simply a summary to catch people up on what they missed.

Basically, it would be great to have 6 consistent volunteers who could pick a day and then alternate weeks, so each person only has to do a summary every other week. For example, we'll have two people assigned to the Wednesday night show who work between themselves to alternate weeks. Pretty simple.

In addition, I'm looking for 3-4 people who can "pinch hit" in case of VCR malfunction, sickness, vacation, etc. I myself cannot record the shows this year as no one has been able to get my VCR to record the cable.

Please consider the time committment before volunteering. It takes about one hour per show (give or take how fast you type and what you want included in the summary). Since I am volunteering to do the formatting and posting, it will save some time this year.

This is a great way to participate in TVCH and be a part of the experience of many people who read our board. These summaries are read and appreciated by many many people!!!!

I can take a back up position for either a Wednesday and/or Thursday. Because I record now and watch later the same night, my posts would be delayed somewhat.

I'm willing to help out if I can, but like Deedee I record and watch later that night so if you want me as a backup I'm willing!

I can pinch hit, too.

I think I might be able to help out.

My "good" webtv got fried a few days ago and I'm on my backup. I think I might have another one kicking around here someplace, let me see and I'll report back as soon as I can.

We have 2 VCR's, Tivo, cable and Directv so we should be covered. No we are not wealthy or obsessed with tv some of it belongs to our housemate. :) I will be happy to take any time slot you need help with.

I'd be willing to post on all three nights, in the summer however, because of school in the fall.

See you in a bit! :)

I'd be happy to help as well. I could definitely do Wednesday nights and could be a pinch hitter if needed on Saturdays.

Question, Spy.........when do you need the summaries? Same night as the episode, or next day?

I'll help out Spy - let me know where you need me.

War, there isn't a set time limit, but it would be nice to have them by the next day if possible. I'm not gonna be a big gripe about it, just as long as it is done :)

Thanks Everyone!! This is a great turnout!

It seems that we have enough volunteers to have three people on each night!!! Since there have are so many, you guys will not be over stretched, and will only have to do a summary once every three weeks!!

Actually, there will be one extra person, too, and I'm thinking the Wednesday might be a good night to have another person in rotation because it was the one that "got lost" the most last year for some reason.

The only two people who specified a "for sure" night were Sunshinemiss and Saphyre, so I placed you two on that night.

I just sorta randomly assigned the pinch hitters, so if there is a day you would prefer, please switch among yourselves and let me know so I know who to call upon for it.

Deedee and Geogirl, it is fine if you post the summaries later, even the next day is okay, so I placed you in the third rotating positions on two nights. If those don't work for you let me know. The "slots" don't have any value, I just put you in the third week so you guys could see that you don't have to have them done by the end of the show..hehehe :)

What is left to do is for the remaining volunteers to pick a slot and let me know! Once you guys pick your nights and get everything settled, I'll post the schedule of dates and who is responsible for the summary. Thanks again, guys!

Spy,

Could you switch me to Wednesdays? I said I could do Wednesday nights and possibly pinch hit on Saturdays. I am just more sure of being able to do Wednesdays.

Thanks. :)

Spy,

I do not want to do a specified day because my schedule is somewhat full. To be more specific...I have a fair next week. T-Sun. Camp from July 21st to the 3rd of Aug. and somethings inbetween. I am sorry if that does not work out for you but I still will like to post sometimes. Just a reminder in September I will be starting school and will rarely be able to go online. Maybe I could be a pinch hitter for Saturday nights or a pinch pinch hitter if all spots are filled. I am not trying to get out of it but as previously stated I am almost full on the schedule. Thank you and have a good day.
