Why in the hell are there so many re-runs being played during the time of year when there aren't supposed to be freaking re-runs?!? I swear it almost feels like the writers strike is still going!! It feels like the ratio right now for shows is to air 2 new episodes per month and the other 2 weeks are re-runs! What the hell??

Cause everything is saved for a little thing called May Sweeps.

Yea it's like this every year. There are always breaks for the major networks.

The only thing I didn't understand was why NBC put their Thursday comedies up against the NCAA tournament for two weeks then took the next few weeks off. Why not take the weeks off during the tournament? Makes no sense but I guess that's NBC for you.

Good point on NBC Thursday night. New episodes against the NCAA tournament, then reruns, and what is on tonight when new episodes return? The first round of the NFL draft. A large portion of the target audience of NBC's comedies are men, who would be interested in sports. I love NBC's comedies but I will be recording them tonight.
