Betty Fea
I learned what one of the buttons on the VCR remote control does now.
See, we rented the first season of Ugly Betty on Netflix. We really fell in love with the show, and even better, it caught us up to the new season! I programmed the VCR (I'm way behind, no Tivo) to tape it every week. However, I must have pushed this one button on the remote by accident. The button says SAP.
What is SAP? Well, Derrick and I sat down to watch the show, and just like the soap opera the characters watch on their TV, the whole show was dubbed in Spanish. The tape recorded the spanish rather than the English, and we tried to watch it. We even subtitled it in English, but it was just too weird.
Since the show is based on a telenovela, I think I was subconsciously trying to make our experience as authentic as possible. Yeah, that's it.

I don't have "TiVo," but I do have a DVR and it really is the best. I never miss The Daily Show and The Colbert Report now...and you can fast-forward through the commercials! It's like $8/month. Do it!

SAP = Second Audio Program - a second audio track. Sometimes it another language (Spanish for you, French for me) but I've see it used to descriptive video as well.
Catch it this week - Henry's supposed to be showing his very sculpted but sadly fur free upper body.

i discovered that they also call it SAP because that's how you feel when you push it accidentally the first time...

You can watch the show with captions on. I'm not clear on why you don't have them on all the time.
