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......

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!

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?

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!

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

Mark Burnett wants every time he shows it to put dollars in his wallet directly. Just have to wait for the DVD.

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.

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.
