I've been checking the online TV guide, and it seems there won't be any Futurama reruns this, or next week. What gives? Family Guy is still being shown, and so is PJs. King of the Hill will be on twice this Tuesday. It would be nice if they got some Futurama in their schedule too.
No reruns??

yeah, I know--I mean, I can watch 'em on tape and everything, but somehow it doesn't compare to watching Futurama in broadcast...

yeah for some real odd reason fox likes that 70's show and is putting it there (I think???????)

What's worse is the crap they're replacing it with. They're showing a special on TRAIN WRECKS on tonight instead of a Futurama rerun. I mean, socially redeeming comedy vs. snuff videos involving people getting hurt really bad?
If I had my way, making profit from the broadcasting of the suffering of others would be a punishable offense.

Yeah, preferably with some sort of public humiliation, like caning. Or stocks! Bring back the stocks!
Bael Zar I'm SORRY, okay?

Maybe so :) , but it would make for a pretty good episode of Futurama. I mean, I'm surprised that they don't all stay up late at night to watch the televised executions instead of watching All My Circuits.

In article ,
I could make an argument about the good that show could do in convincing people not to try to get around train crossings and such, but in a way I agree with you so I won't. And I'd also like for their to be less "news" on the TV anyway, and if you cut out the suffering stuff, I bet those broadcasts be at least 20 minutes shorter..

It's important to look at the competition last night. Home Improvement playing a 90-minute series finale. An hour-long 3rd Rock with William Shatner as the Big Giant Head. (And whatever CBS was showing.) There's no real reason for wasting a good episode on a night when the share available is mighty low. Might as well put on something that's already paid for, is cheap (as are all the "reality shows"), and you don't care if it draws ratings.
It's similar to when Seinfeld ended a year ago--no one want to program against that.

Anyone else catch the story on the May "sweeps" ratings? CBS "won" the month as #1 overall, but the article explained the "debate" that's been going on here. (CBS rated #4 among 18-49-year-olds) If anyone can find it online, post it here! I'll look for it.
