"AIR CHRISTMAS EPISODES WHETHER ITS JULY OR DECEMBER"

This is something I always hated about cable because it prevents you from building a collection of your favorite show in the correct order. Why does it have to be christmas for a cable station to air that type of episode? Just air all the damm episodes and keep everything in order.

Antenna TV does get credit for doing that unlike TV Land/TVOne/N@N

The Third week of July is

"XMAS IN JULY"

at my House. With Temperatures in the 90s I'll break out my Holiday-Themed Shows and Movies and watch them to get my mind off the heat.

Well some local and cable stations are episodes in order. I actually started a thread about this. I was talking about how Christmas movies only air during Christmas. With the exception of Home Alone, The Bells of St. Mary, White Christmas, Its A Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story etc. only air around Christmas. So you have to wait a whole year to watch a Christmas movie, which I think stinks!!

I didn't say anything about stations not airing episodes in order, I mentioned how some stations skip christmas episodes if it's not December. The Good thing is season 9 and 10 of the show I'm recording starts in December so those christmas episodes probably won't be skipped.
