Webster complaint why do networks do this - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

savageamusement · 10-17-2006, 07:01 AM

OKay so I am putting together seaosn one of Webster as I said-

Disc one is done, episode 1 2 3 4

then the rest- COMPLETELY OUT OF ORDER.

8, 5, 12, 10, 14, 20, 18

what the helk why bring back a show after viewers ask for it
only to air it completely and utterly out of order.
episode 21 is the cliffhanger season finale to season one-
and then they aired 5, 8, 12 again

I am SO aggrivated. Why not air them in order?

i share your frustration - TVLand is driving me crazy by skipping all those Benson episodes... hopefully they'll air the other eps soon

savageamusement · 10-17-2006, 08:53 AM

Yeah Benson is another one
and Eight is enough, I am getting irritated with that as well.

I started Gimmie a break and that is absolutely out of order-

So Now I have a hardrive worth of episodes none in order- I don't know if I should burn off what I have and just wait patiently
or put the project on hold.

So many people have been looking forward to the show I want to do a good job with it- and I hate to have them and then make the work of reauthoring later manditory.

Grrr

It is not uncommon for stations to air shows in production order instead of original-broadcast order, thus creating the appearance that the airings are haphazard, when in fact they are not.

Just a thought...maybe they're trying to make it harder for folks like us to make sets

Same over here, I was making up a Rodney set, but it I became so frustrated with it, I gave up.

ABC would show a few out of order eps from season 1, a few from season 2 then back again.

You might be on to something with that connspirisy theory Jenny. I've also noticed that stations will now seldom reply if you enquire their about intension to air further seasons of shows.
