My schedule has been fucked-with.
Used to be that the Fox affiliate in Chicago had a nice, peaceful progression of reruns to lull me to sleep at night. It was the _Simpsons_, then _That 70's Show_, _Seinfeld_, _Frasier_, and then _3rd Rock From the Sun_, if I was being a particularly bad stay-up-late girl.
That was tolerable. I could maybe watch the 10:00 news, if I'd missed the 9:00 for some reason, without feeling deprived--after all, I've memorized most of the Simpsons episodes anyway. And I always felt like I had a good excuse to stay up, because there was always something to watch.
Well, now they've gone and screwed it up. They moved _That 70's Show_ over to UPN, and they replaced it with--of all things--_Malcolm in the Middle_. I can't STAND that show. And they replaced _3rd Rock_ with _Cheers_--which was played-out after the three-hundred-ninety-fourth cycle on Nick at Nite.
I'm just lucky Cartoon Network shows _Futurama_ at 10:30...otherwise, I'd have to go to bed. And that would be a shame.
Don't they normally change the syndicated lineups just after Labor Day? Granted they haven't changed too much recently, but I think you can count on changes each year. They probably got Cheers real cheap.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it usuallly happens around that time. And it always, unfailingly, takes me by surprise. I was peeved when they put _That 70's Show_ on at 10:30 and moved _Seinfeld_ to 11--but I got over it. Not so with this _Malcolm_ shit. :)
