"Scheduling update"
Posted by Bebo on 01-10-04 at 10:35 AM
- According to my local TV listing, the first episode will be rebroadcast tonight at 9pm Eastern.

- More importantly, I saw an ad on NBC last night saying that the second episode will air next Thursday after Friends. The ad touted the number of viewers (27 million), so it looks like NBC wants to keep it in the timeslot where it works.

Thank you Ms. Boop! I'll inform my VCR programmer so he can make the change.

It wasn't on Saturday where I live (Mountain Time Zone). 7PM was AJ2, 8PM was some crime drama. 9PM was an ad for the next episode of Aprentice. 9:01PM was some other crime drama. Did anyone actually see it Saturday night?

They made another last-minute scheduling change. Latest I've heard is that they will be rebroadcasting the premiere episode on Wednesday at 8 (when they originally planned to show a new ep).

I see they're repeating the premiere episode tonight, but it looks like they're only airing it for an hour. Wasn't the premiere episode an hour and a half? What are they going to cut out?

Yas, they are chopping out about 22 minutes (the original broadcast was 1 hour, 22 minutes.)

I'd say Trump's tour would be a prime candidate to get cropped, as well as some of the "tribal council" stuff. And some of the "arrivals." And some of the bickering.

Keep in mind the episode was probably ORIGINALLY edited to be one hour and they probably went back and ADDED 22 minutes so that NBC could claim it was "super-sized," so it might actually be a matter of determining what was added to the original broadcast.

A preview shown during Friends says that The Apprentice will be on Thursdays again at 9/8 p.m. after Friends and Will & Grace starting next Thursday 1/29/04. I guess the tromping from American Idol made them change the date and time again.
