I've been in the same situation for a while, and I still find out about new shows. Tivo just suggests more of the same stuff I already watch. ("You like Will & Grace and Frasier? Try watching Friends." "Thanks! I'd never heard of Friends before!") But my friends talk about shows they like, that's how I heard of The West Wing and 24.
And if you do find yourself going a day or two without watching TV, is that so bad? Will you be worse off because you read a book or called a friend instead of watching TV?
I turned off Tivo's suggestions entirely. Now instead of watching reruns of Buffy, I stay in better touch with my friends, my apartment is cleaner, and I spend more time on my hobbies. With Firefly gone, mabey I'll watch another show instead, or mabey I'll watch less TV. Either way is OK with me.
