Reruns already?


Is my DVR mistaken, or is it reruns this week? 😒

Gotta be reruns. My DVR is set to record only new episodes, and I'm not seeing any new episodes.

Seriously! Didn't the season just start??? Here I was all geared up for a bunch of new episodes, and all I'm getting right now are repeats. I don't understand.

Yep, this week it's back to reruns on my local TV station.

I don't have a TVgraphic memory, and I don't keep a broadcast log or anything-- but my impression is that even when a new season starts, they alternate between new episodes for a couple of weeks, then reruns, then back to new episodes.

I do know that I've experienced the flip side of the "Reruns again?" moment, when after a week of reruns new shows unexpectedly pop up.

And I kinda-sorta notice that, like now, sometimes the reruns are really recent episodes. But when the new episodes run out, I guess, they show much older reruns for a longer period.

I always wonder why they do this, because it seems like it should be the other way around.

Maybe it has to do with ratings and "sweeps weeks", if this system is still in use.

Again, sorry to be so fuzzy on the details.

It's just reruns for this week. Next week they are having new episodes
