But all that should change in the coming months.</p><p>&#8220;With the end of the writers&#8217; strike and the return of some of the floor&#8217;s favorite shows, I&#8217;m really looking for my popularity to rise,&#8221; he said.</p><p>Cassidy had one of the most highly trafficked rooms at the beginning of the school year when his TiVo offered a unique entertainment opportunity to a variety of students. Floormate Jonathan Blowdart was a frequent visitor to Cassidy&#8217;s room.</p></blockquote><p>See, parents should always pack their kids off to college with TiVo.  It really helps their social life.  Back when I was a student we had to make due with VCRs and, believe it or not, LaserDisc players!  We didn&#8217;t even have DVD!  Kids these days have to keep up with the times.  Make sure they have a TiVo and, of course, a laptop for all the school work &#8211; and TiVoToGo (for those boring lectures).  If you really want to spoil them, give them a Slingbox too!<br
