TiVo offers look at fish TV viewing habits

A recent examination of the TiVo machine inside our community aquarium revealed that our fish spent a great deal of time watching Animal Planet documentaries and TBS mocudramas such as The Beastmaster.

"When we started going through the list of favorite shows we were surprised by a few of the trends," said an unnamed tank official. "For instance, we never would have suspected that our fish are such big fans of Gilmore Girls. Who would've thought it?"

Animal Planet shows such as Top 10 Most Dangerous Predators and When Animals Attack IV were among the most-viewed shows recorded in the TiVo system.

Tank officials weren't surprised by the nature-related programming choices, but the number of TBS movie presentations that were in the registry stunned officials.

"I cannot understand what these fish find so appealing about The BeastMaster and Dirty Dancing," TankKeeper said. "These fish can't dance and they certainly couldn't wield a sword. The consequences of either action would have catastrophic results. I suppose that might be part of the appeal -- that they can at least watch things they can never do themselves."
