Why is there a GAP in between the 3am eps and 12am eps of the marathon tonight? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 07-11-2008, 12:08 PM

I see that it starts at 10pm and then at 1am so other shows starts and then it shows ADW airing again at 2am

what's the gap for?

can BET do anything right? Why is this station so F*cking ********? What's the point in having a GAP inbetween 1am and 3am? This network is not qualified to air sitcoms

Ireneparalegal · 07-11-2008, 12:23 PM

To air a movie.

LOL-LOL-LOL

The non-black stations aren't too good either.

Solomon, 12-1am and 3-4am is a good gap. You're acting like this is bad...Nick at Nite does it all the time. George Lopez airs 10-11pm and again 1-2am...same gap as Different World tonight.

3-4am is a REGULAR slot for Different World. 12-1am is as well...so what is the problem? It is like that every night mostly.

But why not glue the eps together? Especially if you have multiple eps before 1am

Pavan · 07-11-2008, 01:53 PM

Because they air movies in the Thursday 1-3am slot. Plus 3-4am is not connected to the marathon...those are regular airings, while the marathon seems to be a best of for season 4.

Brieannas21 · 07-11-2008, 02:43 PM

At this point in time I'm not going to be picky anymore. I'm just glad that it's on TV period. Since BET doesn't normally air sitcoms, so of course DS and ADW won't be their top priority.

Ireneparalegal · 07-11-2008, 05:12 PM

I don't mind ADW being on at midnight, since I am usually awake at that hour, HOWEVER, when they air two episodes at 3 a.m. but don't air them the next day or don't air the show at all, while the promos continue to say A DIFFERENT WORLD MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AT MIDNIGHT, that sh*t pisses me off to no end.

I don't care abt the gap at all.
