wait a minute

It's 10:00, I'm watching cartoon network, What is going on? Did I miss something? Where's the show?

It was canceled on the Cartoon Network when it started on TBS. It just took a couple of weeks to roll through the schedule.

(For the few weeks that both were playing the show, the Futurama episode that appeared on 'TOON each evening would appear on TBS the next day. Not really a great way for TBS to attract viewers.)

Sorry, thanks for playing. Futurama will be back November 2.

And presumably all the First airing rights should be done by FOX so CN should be able to play all 4 Production Seasons now.

Ahh, the limited local source...

But I take it that it actually returns on November *3rd* then, since the 2nd is a Sunday.

I'll bet 'TOON and TBS are 'out of sync' when it returns, though.

Probably. However, the first run did start with a Sun-Thurs schedule.

I've been saying WTF to myself the past 2 nites. I tried looking here and was about to post because "wait a minute" didn't seem like a thread about why the fuck is it not on when it's supposed to be?

When you only have 72 episodes of a show, let alone only 56 of which you can actually play, its gets a little stale running the same episodes over and over. Adult Siwm does this with their shows sometimes (Home Movies included), putting them on brief hiatus and then bring them back so they'll seem fresher.

Still, how am I not supposed to take this personally? A total Futurama break is hard to take. They could have been playing it just once a week for a while. Or I suppose I could spring for the dvd.

I'm all for mixing things up though. They kept Home Movies at that slot way too long. I always thought HM was ok, but it got way overplayed. It will probably be another 6 months before I'd be willing to sit through one, even if I haven't seen it before.

I'm glad for it, really. Between the constant reruns and the DVD, I have about hit the burnout point.

But you know, if that bugs me I could always turn the TV off. But that's crazy talk.
