TV Vent

What is the deal with television shows going 2 or 3 minutes over the time. For example, American Idol tonight is 1hr and 2minutes and Lost is 1hr and 3minutes. I work nights and rely on my Tivo to record my shows but these greedy networks have to spite me and run their shows just a few minutes longer!!!! Chat Icon

Re: TV Vent

i don't get it either, but it's annoying.

I first noticed it several years ago, with E.R. - It starts at 9:59 every week.

With the DVR you can record 2 things at the same time.

When you set up the shows that you want to record, you can set the start and stop times.

Re: TV Vent

My TV vent is... there is nothing good on!

These olympics are f'ing up everything! All the regular NBC shows are put on hold for these two weeks.

A lot of the other channels are running repeats due to lack of competition.

And as far as sports goes... the Knicks **** so they aren't worth watching. The Rangers are on a three week break because of the olympics! And spring training is starting today... but preseason games and the WBC won't start airing till March!

Two weeks of BLAH TV! I don't know if I will be able to handle this! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
