Mtv being my main source of Daria, I have to know these things, or something. OK, so I'm not bothered yet, I'm just very, very bored. I stayed off school today 'cos I'm ill (read: being threatened with detention for not handing in English coursework and too lazy to actually do it, and having no reason to go to school today because it's Wednesday and I have really boring lessons today).
At a rough guess, and in my experience, I'd say this is what MTV plans to do:
Scheduling Department decides when all the programs get shown, sends a copy to Publicity, who informs all the TV magazines that Daria is on at 6:00pm Thursday.
Scheduling Department completely changes shedules, does not inform Publicity. Road rules is now on at 6:00 on Thursday. Daria is on at 6:30 [This happened! Don't know how many eps I missed because of this...].
At 5:00pm Thursday, the technicians look at their schedule, and see Daria is to be broadcast at 6:30. A technician goes to the vault, and finds some 26 tapes, all marked "Daria". Not knowing which one to choose, they take one at random. This happens to be the same episode that aired last week, it was just put back in the wrong place by a different technician.
During the technician's break at 6:45, they spill coffee on the console, hit a few buttons while wiping it up, causing problems in the broadcast.
Repeat procedure week after week, unless it's Madonna Day on MTV, in which case they show a profile of Busta Rhymes.
