TV is screwed up these days!

One of my best peeps brought this topic up to me the other day and it really made me think.

Do you remember when we planned our lives around what came on at what time on what day!!!  You used to be able to do that.  You knew that The Wonderful World of Disney was on Sunday night, every Sunday, week in and week out!  All programs were like that.  Life was simple. 

Heck, we planned our classes around soap operas in college!  My sorority sisters and I were big ABC fans - and I remember when Luke and Laura got married....we all missed class that week - if we hadn't already planned our schedules around that time slot.

Nowadays, you can't do that - there are premiers going on all the time.  Just when I get used to watching a show on a certain day and time they change the day, or the time, or the day AND the time!  What's up with that?  Seriously.... I think they would have better audiences if they left the schedule alone.  Really, it is not a priority of mine to play charades trying to figure out when NCIS is coming on this week.  I need CONSISTENCY.

Oh, and don't get me started on why the DIY channels all seem to think we want them to show the same show in a MARATHON!  Then you know what they do?  They show them one at a time, for weeks after that...what's up with that?  Seriously!  You've just ruined it for me for the next 12 weeks. 

And do they realize that we notice that these were filmed 3-4 years ago?  I mean REALLY?  There's a flood on the East Coast and you are showing me some farm in Rhode Island with Spring flowers from 2007???!!!!  I think they could show something a little more up to date than that - don't you?

I love me some good couch time and a tall cold glass of Coca~Cola while I watch my HGTV but I sure wish I could figure out what day and what time my "shows" are going to be on. 

I guess that's asking too much.  I sure miss the good old days.
