I choose what TV show to watch based on what's on while I'm sitting on the couch. In addition to that, it has to be agreeable with anyone else here. If I'm looking for a show to watch, I'd check tv guide before this site. If you integrated show times, that might make it more valuable to me personally.

I guess we're aiming more at the DVD-buying/heavy tv-watcher crowd. Granted, a lot of show discovery comes from those sitting on the couch, but I often find channel surfing to be rather tedious. If I already know what I like, flipping through Comcast's 1,000 channels often yields nothing.

And the TV guide doesn't do recommendations, just tells you what's on.

That said, we're looking into getting local times integrated with the results, as that would obviously be hugely useful.
