Whats up with all the reruns allready, there hasnt been a new Lost for five weeks now, and the CSIs are about as bad. You pay for TV, and all you get are reruns in December and January???????? :confused: They make a big deal about bringing back The Closer and they are all reruns.<br /><br />Am I the only one getting fed up with it all????

It is free to you, you can go somewhere else if you do not like it, start your own network, you have no right to complain.<br /><br />Hey that is what they told me about this site.<br /><br />By the way I do agree but am not sure what can be done with the TV either unless we suddenly fall in love with wrestling.

I am already PO'd about the Christmas commercials on Jan. 3.<br /><br />Come on, networks, you already know the American public are zombies, but this is ridiculous. Are you on autopilot?<br /><br />VACATION IS OVER! <br /><br />This indifference put me over the top. I'll NEVER watch another network program-EVER.

Yes, but the Bowl Games are not; the collages and networks are not done generating football related revenue. As soon as they are through we'll return you to your regularly scheduled programming. And thank you for watching.

Re: Network TV!

And dont forget that a 1 hour and 45 minute show has approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes of lame commercials to make it fit its 3 hour time slot. <br /><br />Its a stretch, but wouldn't it be grand if the network execs finally figured out that if they actually made a QUALITY show, they'd actually get a larger audience, which in turn means that they could charge more for commercials, which means there could be less commercial interruptions and they could still get the profit margin they need???<br />The current network exec, doesn't have a brain since all they can do is create shows that replicate other shows. And wouldn't you WANT to be running new episodes when the competetors are in the rerun doldrums????<br /><br />Go figure....<br /><br />Nav :cool:

The Rose Bowl on Jan. 4, GIVE ME A BREAK.<br /><br />I'm OVER the Holidays/Christmas/New Years.<br /><br />Who cares.<br /><br />I respect the Rose Bowl officials for sticking to their promise of: "Never a Rose Bowl on Sunday".<br /><br />However, it could have been played on Saturday.<br /><br />It's a yawn, at best, tonight. Again, who cares. The turkey triptofane has worn off.<br /> :) <br />Ho-Hum.<br /><br />And, yes, there are FAR too many "bowls". I believe there are 28, in all.<br /><br />Colleges have gone-PRO. Million$$$ involved.<br /><br />I'm gone from PRO and College. Sad!

Close... but you forgot the fact that they need to cut out 15 minutes of a 1 hour and 45 minute movie in order to get it to fit in a 3 hour slot :( . Stupid (*%$$^&%*& "edited to run in time allotted" :mad: .
