cable sked update

[Nftnat]

Nick is now showing P&tB @ 5 again --- yes, with the slime. They're also still showing partial eps @ 4:30 am, without the slime & with whole end credits. So I'll mix & match; I can tweak any holes in my collection with whole eps from evening & whole credits from pre-dawn. When life gives me rotten apples I'll make applesauce er sum junk.

When you say 'Partial' episodes,do you mean only one or two of their 6 or 7 minute skits?

...or however long the skits last, the answer is yes. They only show around 15 minutes of P&tB; might show, for instance, The Third Mouse or The Visit, but not both. And before you ask, the ones I've seen have I Love Lucy taking up the rest of the 1/2 hour. I ask again when that program ever extended to 45 minutes.

When I LOVE LUCY first started airing on Nick at Nite, they aired the episodes uncut, restoring many scenes that had been removed in syndication over the years. LUCY episodes would regularly extend into the first few minutes of a following half-hour to accommodate the restored scenes and all the normal commercial breaks. However, after a couple years, Nick started editing the I LOVE LUCY episodes to fit them into a regular half hour (except on special occasions, like "Block Party Summer" marathons where uncut episodes would sometimes run). It sounds like they have started airing them uncut again in the wee hours... with Pinky and the Brain as filler for the remainder of the second half hour.

Just when you thought they had a plan to put P&TB at a more desirable time without the slime, troz!

For some reason, TV Guide lists that time as Nicktoons TV. Tell me Nick isn't seriously categorizing P&TB as a Nicktoon!

'bout time I utilize some nice video editing tools I have.

Umm, wouldn't that just make rotten applesauce then? Poit.

Now, suppose P&TB had ended up on CN....

... they at least wouldn't be interspaced with slime!

Gads, I am totally clueless as to the appeal of those STL segments. The kids in 'em always look as if somebody's ordering them, at gunpoint, to act as if they're enjoying themselves.

Yes, although, would CN have P&TB on more than just Sundays like A! is? A! used to be on everyday (I thought), but the CN schedule is getting rather crammed. Troz.

Egad, yes. The excitement in their arms (note how they are always in that "I'm really pumped up about this" fashion?) doesn't always match the expression on their faces? Also, the audience seems like they're exhausted from the endless cheering and clapping.

We need a third option, poit.

It's still on everyday, well, 6 days a week. And without any annoying announcer voice over the end credits. But sometimes it's too bright. Sometimes CN does that, other times they have things on dark & with a buzz, especially some LTs & MMs. And then there's their problems with the vertical hold, altho I haven't noticed that problem lately. If CN had P&tB? They'd probably sit on 'em. We'd be lucky to see it once a week.

And we have it, or @ least a 3rd airing. That's right, I interrupt this bandwidth to announce that according to the tv listings @ Yahoo, starting next week Nick will be airing P&tB @ 5:30 am 4:30 am Central, 6 pm 5 pm Central, & 8:30 am 7:30 am Central. Of course this means it goes up against H! over on KWB (enjoy it while you can), but that's why this house has more than 1 vcr. A tape for P&tB, 1 for S!, 1 for other KWB, 1 for LTs-MMs, 1 for...

Also, the Saturday evening airing of P&tB returns, starting this Saturday. Of course, all this is subject to change without notification or warning, blah blah blah yakkity schmackity...

Oh, but this coming Monday late night episodette airing will instead be the lead-in to the evening airing. I don't know why.

One more thing: The ep numbers & titles on Yahoo don't match. For instance, tonight's epi-lette (hey, I just coined a word!) is scheduled as #34A, A Meticulous Analysis of History. Of course, we know that's #31A, & # 34A is actually All You Need Is Narf. But then, we're probably the only ones who know, or care. Oh well. Cy'all.
