Burn Notice is a heavily recorded (and online viewed) show. It's how
I watch. I got put onto the show by someone who'd DVR'ed it.

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...
