The CW station in Philly will be running them weeknights at 11 pm. What's interesting, though, is that according to Xfinity's built-in guide, they are only running the odd-numbered episodes. The first week they're running episodes 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. And continuing that pattern on the next week.

I don’t know if you literally mean you did not watch past the first 15 min, but I think you have put your finger on the show. The show is not really what it seems to be at first. It goes from unlivable to tolerable to one of the most likable shows one could imagine. On Thu, Sep 24, 2020 at 2:29 AM

I'm looking at two different program guides (TV Guide vs. TitanTV) that are showing different information right now. Both agree that it's going to be running on two stations (with different ownership) in the L.A. market. Both agree that KDOC is running two episodes a night, at 12:30 A.M. and 1:

I literally mean 15 minutes. In recent memory, the shows for which I couldn't even last a single episode were this and "GLOW" (that one was ten minutes). I'll usually give a show (even one I hated, like "The Great") at least one episode, and if I'm on the fence, three, but despite my liking Eug

Isn't KDOC still PBS? Seems odd for them to pick it up. KCOP, to me, will always be the station it was in the 60s. The absolute bargain basement of low-budget local TV, playing public domain movies and the dregs of syndication, so I guess "Schitt's" fits right in there for me. --Dave Sikula O

You almost always dislike shows ai like, so no predictions. My only point is this show is intended to be disliked in its first few episodes- which doesn’t mean it won’t be disliked by you all the way through. On Thu, Sep 24, 2020 at 5:13 PM 'Dave Sikula' via TVorNotTV < tvornottv@googlegroups.com>

Are you thinking of KOCE (Channel 50, which became the primary PBS station for L.A. after KCET dropped PBS)? KDOC is Channel 56, a commercial independent station. They’re both Orange County-based, as the call letters would imply, but that doesn’t make any difference to the average viewer. > O

Less than 90 seconds into “Wilmore” I realized much I missed Larry Wilmore from talk TV. Probably almost as much as Jon Stewart. I like his smart humor and his take on life. He is another one of the talented people to come out of the “Daily Show” correspondents crew. I knew his first show was put
