ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area What's Your Favorite TV Show.

GUNSMOKE, every day on the Encore Western channel at 5 and 6pm Central time, no commercials.

My favourite TV shows have the following things in common:
- I find it accidentally, while channel surfing, halfway into it;
- I see it a few more times, on a hit-or-miss basis, until it gets 'programmed' into my schedule;
- About then the network begins moving it all over the shaedule;
- I finally find it again, and it gets pre-empted by every sporting event this side of tiddlywinks; and,
- It just "disappears," and I can never remember the name.


The last "Star Trek" series..."Enterprise" followed this pattern to a T. Too bad.


Shows I can't stand are invariably shown four nights aweek, sometimes on four channels at once, and have perpetual re-runs.

Prime time TV over here now is mostly utter garbage. Actually 95% of the main networks is garbage. They still show some of the good old stuff from time to time, but quite often they keep repeating the same episodes over and over while shows that haven't been seen in years never get a screening now.
You're not always in locations like Agent 13 are you?

I'm still working on converting an old Bell System Trimline into a shoephone......

Reno, you need a TiVo. It will take care of every one of your concerns, even skipping duplicates when you set up season recordings.

You can search for programs based on title, genre, actor, keywords, etc. It evn adjusts for program delays and reschedules.
