the tv channels here are doing something i havent seen them do before. all the ‘new’ american tv shows are starting (it’s the beginning of the season here… same as at home… season starts when kids go back to school at the beginning of the new school year.. except here that’s feb).
the thing i havent seen them do before is have ‘encore presentations’. this means they air the show and then a few days later they air the exact same episode just in case someone missed it or can’t work their vcr (sorry, no tivo in this country).
so far they’ve done it with desperate housewives, lost & the medium. there might be more but those are the ones ive noticed. just strikes me as an odd thing to do. sure you might get ur money’s worth but wouldn’t you piss off the viewers?
