- this and that about the state of televsion in January 2007
Is it just me or is this the worst television season ever?
Back when I was young (Yes, thank you, we did have television then!), the season lasted from September to May now it seems to last from about September 15 to November 15 and January 7 to March 1, with re-runs in-between.
So the second schedule has started for some shows, but not others. Now mind you I'm too cheap to pay for cable so the number of shows I can view are somewhat limited, but still I can get around 10 stations (depending on the direction the wind is blowing.) But still there are days and nights when there is nothing on worth watching.
The station where I watch westerns replaced Gunsmoke with Bonanza just at a different time slot. They had been advertising the change for over a month, saying it was coming in January and it happened January 1st. Unlike shows on major networks which were coming in January and still haven't started.
It's only been two weeks since Bonanza started back up and already one of the Cartwright boys has fallen in love with somebody they couldn't marry because she was dying. Death was a plight that befell every poor girl that fell in love with Adam, Hoss, or Little Joe. That started with the father, Ben. He was married to 3 different women and they all died before the show hit the airwaves.
I have seen some shows like that - you know, they should have died before they hit the airwaves.
