Repeats, how utterly obnoxious!

Repeats, why do they put on repeats in the middle of a season? I'm a huge CSI franchise fan, and I was looking forward to sitting down and watching a new episode of CSI Miami this evening. Australia is a season behind the USA in their episodes. February is when CSI started up for the season. The first episode has one of the main characters killed off. So why is it, when I turn on the boob tube, the guy is on the screen?? It absolutely rattles my mind that the tv networks do this.

Goes for the other CSI shows as well, it never fails. On Sundays now, CSI is on at 8:30, with CSI NY on at 9:30. But when the season commenced back in February, they had new episodes on both Sunday AND Tuesday. Then it went to just Sundays. But as soon as Big Brother came on air for the year, new episodes of CSI disappeared. They'd show old episodes of the regular CSI, with Grissom having no facial hair, then on Sundays he's got the facial hair. Will YOU MAKE UP YOUR MINDS??? It ticks me off because a season is a season for a reason. Sometimes there will be dialogue about something that happened episodes ago, that we have watched months ago, but then the dialogue comes up again.

Is the states this bad? I remember once in awhile, they'd have an old episode, but CBS was usually pretty good with keeping on track. It gets utterly annoying when you're seeing re-runs after re-runs, and expecting to see new episodes. They put on old episodes, or completely take the show off the air. Both new episodes of CSI and CSI NY were not on air for a good 2 months. Now they're both on Sunday nights. I guess it's all about the ratings. Channel 9 is always in competition and I guess they will do anything to keep their ratings up.

Another prime example is Will and Grace. They finished season 6 and the next week, season 7 started. I remember season 7 starting because it had Jennifer Lopez and Janet Jackson guest starring. All is great, and the network even does double episodes. Then all of a sudden it's off the air. You don't hear about anything for months, then it miracously (sp) shows up on the weekly tv guide on Sunday nights at 10:30. They show a few weeks of Will and Grace on that time slot, and then it stops again. And I have not seen or heard anything since. There are still a number of episodes left in season 7, so bring them back channel 7!!!!
