Can't we get some new shows on? The last two weeks have been repeats. What's up with that?

This is supposed to be primetime season. Okay on Thanksgiving there could be a repeat, especially if everyone is at their relatives and doesn't get a chance to put on the tube, but a second week is inexcusable!

Exactly my thoughts. Ofcourse, the same mode of thinking was for the entire Thurs. night lineup as I noticed on my tape that "Veronica's Closet" and "ER" were all reruns again too. I can't imagine why NBC would conclude no one would be watching last Thursday when it wasn't Thanksgiving. I guess they will toss in one new show before Christmas and that will be it until after New Years. However, I noticed that none of these shows were in the top 10 rated last week and in the past I have seen where reruns have made the top 10...which is ridiculous unless the show was an especially momentus one. Well, that gives everyone time to check out the other networks and cable stations. <G> Jennifer

have back to back new shows clear through New Years. Lots of shows were in re-runs the first week of December. By the way, that rerun of Seinfeld was the number 2 rated show last week, second only to Monday Night Football.

Quit your whining already. Its the _holiday_ season, and everyone messes with the schedules to fit in specials and other "fine" television.

Its been this way for years, we can't help it if you are just now noticing. Write to the network...
