What is with network TV lately??

Okay, what is with these TV stations that do funky things with the show times and dates???

It use to be that shows started in the fall, the season ended in spring, and then you had re-runs durring the summer. It was like clockwork, and aushered in the changing of the seasons for me here in So Cal. And if the show was on a Tuesday night, it stayed there for the most part.

Now there is no such thing as a "season" any more. And they mix re-runs and new shows, move nights around at a whim, and might have "mini seasons" that start durring the summer.

Case in point the new show "New Amsterdam". It sounded interesting, I marked my calandar and waited. It was on a Tuesday night and I watched it (good show), and I figured I'd see the second one next Tuesday. WRONG! The second show was the next Thursday and I missed it. And the third show is on Monday. WTF, I they trying to kill the show right out of the gate???

Now I know that with Tivo, DVR, and online viewing it's not as big a deal, but come on......

I just watched it online so I could get caught up before tommorrow night, but what a pain. And now my DVR is set to record the series (I forgot to set it prior). I hate watching it streamed all jearky and sitting at my computer desk! And KTLA needs to learn how to set up their website. It took me just as long to find the show as it did to watch it. ABC has a much better set up.
