PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

I agree it would be better if they ran them all in a row, but this will be an improvement. A rerun every two weeks got old real fast. I don't like the new trend of not making enough shows to fill a so called season. But that is just me longing for the old days when summer was for reruns or replacement series, and Fall series went all the way to summer.

Except it’s never really been that way. The average season length has been rather unchanged over time. The original Star Trek, back in 67, had an average season length of 27 shows. Next Generation, starting in the mid-80s, had an average season length of 26 shows. Most shows these days have an average season length of 24-25 shows. What’s different is that these days there are more shows like Lost or 24 where the narrative continues on from week to week. In the old days, most episodes had a beginning, middle, and end that took place all within the same episode. (A notable exception were the shows considered primetime soap operas like Dallas, Dynasty, etc.) There may have been things that were developed later on down the line, or mentioned later on down the line, but storylines did not continue across two or three episodes let alone an entire season. Reruns are far less noticeable in a one and done episodic structure than they are in a continuing episodic structure.

14. "RE: Season 3 Schedule" |
I don't really like it when they take it off and stuff another show in there for the break. I'd rather have longer stretches of shows (like 6 in a row then replay those 6) than have them do the we will show you 6 shows and then you don't get anything, not even reruns for months at a time.But that is me. I don't mind re-runs, I'd just like longer chunks of shows and reruns for shows with long story arcs. I find that as soon as a show goes all episodes in a row no reruns at all until over I tend to get lost and can't catch up and stop watching the show completely. T That happened to me with 24 and alias. I missed a couple of shows and then couldn't catch up so dropped them. Might be better now I have DVR and some of these shows have the episode available on the internet for when the DVR screws up.

I'm convinced the writers read this Board for story ideas. Eventually we will have unknowingly written an entire season for them
