I noticed last night the 11 p.m. airings were the episodes they aired the night before at 3 a.m.

So BET is not airing 4 new episodes a night. They are airing 4 episodes, but the 2 episodes airing at 3 a.m. are being repeated that evening at 11 p.m.

BET basically is airing two episodes a day/night instead of 4.

BET is only airing four new episodes each for Diff'rent Strokes and Malcolm & Eddie, because those shows are expiring soon (Aug. 31) and they want to air the most they can if they don't renew. BET is sharing the rights of Different World with Nick at Nite, The N, (and any other Viacom station) so the deal is through June 2009. So it has more of a duration than Strokes and Malcolm & Eddie.

Be on the look out for Sunday evening blocks of A Different World. they are never in a set time, but usually are anywhere between 6:30-10pm.

Well, it helps that BET, Nick and The N are all part of the same corporate family.

But is BET going in order on ADW?

Yes, BET goes in order quite well with all of their sitcoms.

I hate the fact that they are airing the ADW so late at night. I want to record all of the episodes that I can. I guess I'll have to start when they start to air season 3

I had stated the same thing (as you stated above) on the DS board where I said if they are airing 4 new episodes a day, it is because they must be trying to hurry through the series. I thought you said that was not the case? Maybe I read it wrong. :confused:

Anyways, yesterday we were discussing the 4 episodes they air on BET and we were mistaken. We assumed they were 4 new episodes. Not 2 episodes that were shown at 3 a.m.

They are not hurrying it up to air Diff'rent Strokes, they are trying to air the episodes as many times they can since the contract is almost running out. Even if they aired it just two times a day they would still finish the series before August 31. It's not like they are hurrying to finish the series and drop it. Maybe they want to air two full rotations.

Each contract has a set number of plays per episode. For example, the Three's Company Nick at Nite/TV Land contract from 2000-2007 had it where each episode could be aired 25 times (not counting repeats within 24 hours).

There was a mini marathon today, I don't know if anyone caught it.

Same here. They had a great schedule on Oxygen as far as ADW was concerned.

I just checked my line and they just took down the sunday Marathon. So they might show the Xmas episode Monday. At least I hope because that my FAV episode of the 4th season.

LOL, I think I have a bit of OCD :lol: I hate it when things are out of order. It will literally bother me until I fix it. So having all episode with the exception of one will drive me crazy, I'll erase the whole DVD.

I know the feeling. When I am transferring from my videocamera to DVD and I don't get it perfect, I will start over. It drives me crazy knowing I could make it perfect and I don't. :crazy:

Do I miss CONFLICT OF INTEREST episode or is it not going to air

No I don't think so. Did they even show Twelve steps of Christmas? BET is skipping a lot of episodes.

Ok, I thought it was me. I am like, "They are already on the Bryon episodes???!!" :crazy:

why aren't they showing any of the denise episodes?

They already aired the first season with Denise.

Ok, I thought it was me. I am like, "They are already on the Bryon episodes???!!" :crazy:


I know?????? If I were still recording the episodes this would have truly screwed me up.

Ok, during the ADW marathon, I know they aired the episode when Walter leaves the school. I didn't get a chance to catch the marathon though. HOWEVER, I have not seen that episode aired during the regular schedule...or am I wrong?

And get this...last night ADW did NOT air at all. I checked tonight's schedule and it doesn't appear on the schedule...WHAT GIVES???????:mad:

It's not airing tonight either. :mad:

But, they are airing two episodes at the 3 a.m. hour. :rolleyes:

It's coming on tonight and it's staying on for 2 hours. It's starting at 10pm CST.

And they are airing one of my FAVORITE episodes, Love Taps

Also it seems as if BET is really rushing through the 5th season. They are airing the wedding episode tonight.

That comes on at 11pm, why is that ep your favorite. I see it has something to do with Gina, the girl who once was on Def Comedy Jam

Because it was a great episode, has some great drama in it. If you watch it you'll see why it's one of my Fav episodes.

I LOVE Love Taps. Very powerful and compelling. :thumbsup: Why on earth are they rushing through the series? They did not air it all week and tonight they are airing 4 episodes???? WTF?? I emailed BET and guess what? GOT NO ANSWER. Figures. :rolleyes:

Well you missed a GOOOOOOOOOOD episode.

Ok, apparently BET is only airing ADW on Thursdays and Fridays. When and why did this change occur? It doesn't reflect this on their website, the last time I looked. I never got a response from BET when I emailed them. Did Pav post anything regarding this change? And why does BET continue to air promos stating ADW airs Monday-Friday at midnight when it doesn't? I am so disgusted with this crap. :mad:

Yeah he made a post about the change I believe he made it on the DS board. I remember he said that the change in the schedule was due to the BET awards and that things will go back to normal once the hype dies down.

am i the only one noticing that they have been airing the same few episodes several times a week? I must have seen the episode where dwayne and whitley spend the night together and byron finds out like three times this past week. Also, are they airing the episodes in order of out of order?

Yeah they are showing them out of order, and they are also skipping episodes. I'll be glad when BET gets back on track.

God BET is messing up w/ADW, i wish it was still on Oxygen at least then it had some continuity to it's airings.

Like your avatar. :cool:

I too agree with you. BET is screwing up Diff'rent Strokes. I don't watch the show, but I know many fans here on the board are pissed. As for ADW, what the hell is going on there? First they don't air all the episodes and when they do, it is on at 3 a.m. in the morning! What happened to the midnight airings? The show was first shown at 11 p.m. and then a few weeks later they changed it to midnight. Now, they don't air it at all at that hour, BUT!!!! they still air promos saying that ADW is airing at midnight. :mad: :crazy: HOW CAN THEY BOLDLY LIE LIKE THAT? I emailed them but they never respond. BET is nothing but ASS. :rolleyes:

Nothing, BET just has a audience that is into hip-hop more than sitcoms and it looks like the move to add sitcoms should have never been made.

MTV started off as an all music network and now they air more "reality" based shows than they do music. BET has aired sitcoms in the past, this isn't a new thing for them.

It just sounds to me that you're making "Hip Hop" out to be a bad thing.

If they keep PRE-EMPTING sitcoms for hip-hop programming then why even have sitcoms on the lineup???

I was in the doctor's office yesterday and was reading an article from EBONY magazine from Oct. 2007. It was a rather lengthy article on the new creative force behind BET, talking abt the new reality shows and other programming it is airing and will be airing. The age demographic that is their target is the age of 18-34. I wanted to take the magazine and post what that article said. Since I didn't take it, I can only remember the article stating basically it is only concerned with getting rid of the old stuff and bringing more "original" programming. :rolleyes:
