And "The Starter Wife", which I couldn't watch period, even the opening credits - its last marathon kicked off a 8:00 am on the nose.
H'Wood stuppid... ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : [scifinoir2] "Burn Notice" Date : Tue, 20 Jan 2009 02:36:04 +0000 From : keithbjohn...@comcast.net To : scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com I will never understand how networks schedule their programs. For example, USA network keeps trumpeting the fact that "Burn Notice" is one of their most highly rated programs. They run commercials for it all the time. Why then, do they air reruns at such crazy times? The show's been airing at odd hours, typically weeknights around midnight or 1 am EST. I keep wondering why such a hot show is given such a lousy rerun time? Checking the primetime hours throughout the week, I see USA airs wrestling, House, NCIS, and Law and Order all the time. All get better times than Burn Notice. NCIS, for example, often gets several hours of programming starting around 4 or 5 pm. They're running a Burn Notice marathon ahead of this week's season premiere on Thursday. The times? Starting Wednesday night at 11 pm, running 'til around 4 am, then again starting at 6 am Thursday, airing throughout the day. Neither slot is accommodating to those who have to work (or sleep), and don't want to fill up a VCR tape or DVR listing. I just don't get it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQdwk8Yntds
