Well, from your previous post it appears you've discovered autorecord.  You've also likely discovered the tendency of that feature to fill your list with all sorts of stuff you don't want.

There isn't any system to set up series recordings of "similar" programming.  The DVR uses codes set in the guide to record all of one program on one channel, but it doesn't have the ability to seek out "similar" programs.

 

I personally don't use it but folks say that the search feature on the DVR responds well to the use of Boolean searches.  You'd need to educate yourself as to their use.
