Why do they NEVER re-broadcast the dang show...
The ClubHouse: Archives: Why do they NEVER re-broadcast the dang show...
Ryn | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 08:25 am     I can see 24 if I miss it, I can see Real World, Combat Missions etc, I can catch some ABC stuff re-run, you can't tell me there is not a market to re-run Survivor at least once more during any given week. Could they be too afraid that they will suck away some of their ratings if they have it on twice? I just hate it when I forget to set my VCR or (like last night) record the wrong channel for the 1st 30 minutes. <sigh> Once I miss a show I start to lose interest...... |
Moondance | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 08:42 am     Sorry Ryn... I didn't tape except the last part of it... if you want that I can send it to you but it is just the last bit of the challenge and TC... there are others here who tape it though... I am mad because my vcr didn't tape Friends in the other room One of these days they will invent something that will just pull up a program anytime! |
Black_No_No | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 09:32 am     Same thing happened to me last week Ryn. Something happened to my vcr setup. But I got all of this week... maybe we can trade tapes? |
Urgrace | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 03:35 pm     Yep Ryn, it really sucks when that happens. I know because it happened to me too last week, BNN. When they first promoted BB, I thought it was going to be on every day of the week and was so stoked. Then after the first week of 3(?)shows it went to once a week, and I ended up looking and eventually finding TVCH. The live feed posters put sanity back into my daily life! Hey, even Ozzy has several re-runs during the week! |
Gina8642 | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 04:48 pm     I wish they re-ran it too. I know diluting the ratings is bad. But isn't it bad to lose viewers who missed an episode or two, so they lost interest? More realistically - I don't believe CBS has a sister network with which to partner to show rebroadcasts. ABC has the ABC family channel. Some other shows partner with Lifetime or A&E. I don't know who Survivor whould partner with. Maybe FX? I love Ozzy, getting more addicted to it each week. I think last time was only the third time I've seen it. That guy is dotty. Doesn't strike me at all as some scary dark rock star. More like a loony old british lady. lol |
Niceguy | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 06:58 pm     Mark Burnett wants every time he shows it to put dollars in his wallet directly. Just have to wait for the DVD. |
Kitt | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 07:03 pm     CBS has just acquired (or some legal partnership thingy) UPN, so maybe they will start showing reruns on there, like they've been doing for the Amazing Race. But I think the conspiracy story is correct... if it's only shown once they get all the viewers on that one night and the ratings are so high the sponsors like it. |
Llkoolaid | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 07:17 pm     I usually tape it. The first time I watch it I am too caught up in who is getting booted, so I watch it a second time and usually find all kinds of things that I missed. Just like reading a good book. |
