***Big BET Alert for People Taping/DVRing***

[Pavan]

For those of you recording every airing on BET or wanting to watch every single episode, this is an important alert!

BET is now airing four episodes a day rather than two episodes with an encore! So you'll need to watch or tape/DVR both 9-10am and 3-4pm now. It started yesterday and we didn't get the notice until after 5PM, so we couldn't alert you in time. So here is the episode schedule reflecting this change that started yesterday:

Wednesday, April 30
9:00AM #505 "Substitute Teacher"
9:30AM #506 "The Peacemaker"
Special time 4:00PM #507 "Older Woman"
Special time 4:30PM #508 "Memories"

Thursday, May 1
9:00AM #509 "A Case of Over Exposure"
9:30AM #510 "Push Comes to Shove"
3:00PM #511 "The Executives"
3:30PM #512 "Santa's Helper"

Friday, May 2
9:00AM #513 "A Growing Problem"
9:30AM #514 "Parents Have Rights Too"
3:00PM #516 "The Bicycle Man, Part 1"
3:30PM #517 "The Bicycle Man, Part 2"

So, if you watched/taped the last marathon you didn't have to worry about the first afternoon episodes since it aired in the marathon...but #508 ("Memories") was all-new to BET. I missed that one also because of this.

Also, starting this week BET will add Saturday airings. More info will come on the blog later today, along with more DS info, but here is a sneak peek for this Saturday:

Saturday, May 2
12:00PM #515 "Independent Women"
12:30PM #518 "Family On Ice"

Four episodes a day (Mon-Sat) continues until further notice.

While this is good because it'll get through the series much faster, I also got screwed over with the episode "Memories". I just hope the channel guide adjusts itself to show the new change, cause right now, it's still showing the encore airings for 3 and 3:30 PM (and still showing today's airings as "The Older Woman" and "Memories").

BET should really announce these changes in advance, rather than just do a last minute change like that. Leave the last minute changes to Nick at Nite...

Yeah the listings won't be up to date until tomorrow or Monday, unfortunately.

Great so now I'm missing 6 episodes from season 5. BET can kiss my A$$

2 of the 4 was my fault because I forget to set the timer on my DVD Recorder but that still leaves me with missing 4 more with this dumb a$$ annoucement

Yeah my on screen guide screwed me over this morning because it said "Memories" but got "Push Comes to Shove" instead.

Here is our blog story on this:

Also, we have more Strokes news there, including a Memorial Day marathon.

yeah that why we missed it cause my dish network program guide had wrong episode listing i really wanted to see memories hope it airs during the marathon was good to see santa helpers though

Yeah, when editing last night I noticed I was missing episodes. DRAT! I missed 507,508; 511,512.

Well, if they keep playing them at this pace, they'll be around again soon!

Oh, Solomon. Why are getting so mad about? Frustration is perfectly normal but at least we are getting more airings. I am definitely watching "Bicycle Man" this afternoon.

[TeeVeeCloset]

Missed "santas helper" of course! my guide wasn't updated and still isn't....why can't these channels at least wait till a monday to make changes....it's so silly.....you can't even keep up with TV land schedules (but of course who would want to?) I really believe TV land decides a minute before they air a show....last weekend was a total change.

They aired 507 and 511 in the last marathon. Did you tape it then?

[Scoobiedoo30]

what do you mean by 507 and 511
