LAST EDITED ON 08-04-04 AT 01:03 AM (EST)SPIKE is run by a bunch of morons.
Last night, I tune in to the last minutes of OBLIVIOUS (great show by the way). Show ends. It's 11:00. Commercials come on.
More commercials. Not a single "Stay tuned for Joe Schmoe!" clip. NOTHING to tell the Oblivious viewers to stick around.
By 11:07 they've re-run commercial after commercial for wrestling and other Spike shows or Spike "identity" spots, and still not a single mention of the show that's on next.
11:07 and 45 seconds: What do you know, a short clip that shows what the next 3 shows are gonna be, and then 11:08pm finally Joe Schmoe starts.
WTF!?! 8 minutes of Spike commercials over and over is a SURE-FIRE way to get people to change the channel. What the hell are they smoking over there?!?! And why is the show cut down to 52 minutes?
