I got some bad news on Thursday afternoon and I needed to take my mind off of things by Thursday evening. Usually some of my favorite shows are on on Thursday night but it seems the networks in there wisdom have decided to show a bunch of re-runs this week.
I think the only show that was on last night that I wanted to watch that wasn’t something I’ve already seen was Ugly Betty. I do like that show. I should have added it to yesterdays Thursday thirteen list. Survivor was a rehashing of what’s already happened on the Island this season. I hate those kinds of shows.
I don’t understand why the big networks start new or returning shows in Mid-September or early October and then have the shows take a break for up to two weeks at the end of October. Whats the point in that? Then they usually show reruns again around the American Thanksgiving period, plus half or most of December ends up being re-runs.
Are TV seasons getting shorter and shorter or is it just my imagination? What do you think?
I know what you mean. I ended up watching one half of a show Thurs.
Thurs is the only night I watch evening TV too.
I watch Jericho on Wed if I remember.
I gave up watching network TV. I usually watch Discovery or History channels. And I love the OnDemand feature of cable. What I want, when I want and no commercials.
No, they don’t make as many new shows per season as they did when I was a kid. And you got a whole season of new shows before you got stuck watching reruns. Of course, we only had about half a dozen channels back then! I guess it’s the competition from all the cable networks.
I agree!!! I like Survivor, CSI Vegas, and ER…I have the hots for Luca!!!
ps, thanks for dropping in, and commenting on my Halloween pics!
take care, Nicole
I guess you mean the Office and Earl. I was sad too.
I do hate the rehash stuff. However, I don’t really have any TV right now and would even be happy to have that right now. 😀
I made the same observations to my husband yesterday. I ended up watching some episodes online that I missed.
The other day Justice came on, and I thought, I will have to look and see what I missed. I didn’t miss anthing. They were in break for three weeks.
I always blame baseball or whatever sport it is they play this time of year.
I think TV Shows today are lazy! They work for four weeks, then it’s re-runs for four weeks and the actors get a million dollars per episode for some of these shows!
What I want to know is how much they’re paying John Stamos for ER now?
Hey– FYI– there’s a BBQ in Tricia’s honor in the Cul-de-Sac this weekend, everyone stop by to congratulate her!
This Thursdays reruns were thanks to baseball. BOO BASEBALL!
