What Up with TV?

Posted by

I don’t know what’s been going on with TV for the last year or so, but it seems you can never get an accurate idea of what’s going to be on.

Sometimes the shows you watch regularly at 9:00 are, for some unknown reason, on at 8:00.

Sometimes you tune in to watch a favourite show, only to find that they’ve decided to run some other show instead.

If you look at the TV guide from the newspaper, it always seems to be different than the digital guide on the TV, and usually the paper one is wrong and the digital one is right. But that’s not always so either.

Sometimes the digital TV guide will tell you the name of the show that’s supposed to be on, even when you’re watching a completely different show.

Last night I waited with baited breath (would that be wormy?) for The Office to come on, only to find out that they had decided to play two half hour episodes of My Name is Earl.

My Name is Earl is a new show that we’ve watched this season and the first half hour was the very first episode, and the second half hour was a rerun of the show. We didn’t watch them, we just kept checking back to see if The Office was going to be on.

So The Office was NOT on. And reruns of Earl were on.

So please tell me why, when a brand new season of shows has just started, they’re playing reruns. Did they only make 3 shows? Same with The Office… was it not on because there are no more new shows?

I don’t understand what’s going on with TV any more. You can’t depend on the shows airing when expected, and you can’t count on the TV guide to tell you what’ll be on. :eek:

WTF?
