Can we begin posting about the rant?

Anyways, good rant, Solomon! The only problme I had was you were a little too focused on FOX. There are other channels that do the same thing. NAN, for instance would change the weekend schedule, and not tell us about it until the day before. So, that day, I did not get a chance to go on the internet, and when I turned to NAN, I saw a Fresh Prince marathon instead of the normal schedule! But, that's just one example.

I really loved the turn the channel moment of the week. I would have to agree that that was the exact moment. I was watching that episode in the morning, and I was just thinking "how dumb can you get?"

What I try to do is make the rant a GENERAL discussion and allow everyone to relate to the topic I'm ranting about rather than just making it about me. Thats why I started the rant off with a question so that someone can share simlar experiences with another TV station doing the same thing. The Fox subject was what went through and was basically open to hearing if anyone else experienced this with another network.

And, I told you about my experience with this happening, so I see your point in wanting everyone to relate

Good rant Solomon, but I agree, it's not just Fox that does it. Also, I watch Fox News, and they don't pull any last minute switches that I'm aware of. I know their lineup like the back of my hand. I know you're not political Solomon. Who's your editor, lol. Nick and TV Land are the worst offenders ever. They have no respect for their viewers.

Mr. Television · 08-11-2007, 05:29 PM

The Fox network has done that to me before. I've sat down to watch a show only to discover it's been replaced by an AI special.

I know more stations do it, but it maybe a station I don't watch which is why I was open to hearing if anyone else on the board is going through the same thing with another station. I watch one show on FOXNEWS, "the Oreilly Factor"
