What Episode From Season 1-5 Does METV Keep Skipping? Very Frustrating! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Jack1000 · 01-27-2012, 06:25 PM

This always happens every time in the rotation it seems, when the episode about Bob's gay patient shows up in the rotation. ("Some of my Best Friends Are...") This was listed last week, and again like clockwork, the episodes are off by a day.

I was waiting to see "Eu Tu Carol" (The 3rd Debbie Episode!) yesterday, which showed up in the listing, but "The Great Rent Strike" played in it's place. My guess is that METV is refusing to show "Some of My Best Friends Are...", or we have another episode in question that is lost, damage, or that ME-TV refuses to play in the rotation.

We know they never show Season 6. Why? Has anyone watched TBNS to determine at what point the schedule in the guide stops synchronizing with what is shown? What episode are they skipping? This happens every time. And than in a week or so, the schedule gets back on track again. What is going on?

Any help would be appreciated! What do your guide's say with regards to the episodes being shown?

Thanks!

Everyone check to see what your Cable, Dish, or U-Verse provider says for the episodes of TBNS, and see if the program description for your guide is consistent with the episode being shown. I have Time Warner Cable, which uses Tribune Media Services for its Guide Data.

I can confirm as stated above, that around the time "Some of My Best Friends Are........." shows up in the program guide listings, the episode that actually airs is not what is in the guide listing. The information in the guide, compared to what is being shown can be off by a day, sometimes more.

I can also confirm that it takes Tribune Media Services and/or ME-TV about a week to get the guide back on track. I do not know if there is a certain episode when this happens. Than, after it gets back on track, it seems to stay that way until around the time, "Some of My Best Friends" is set to air. This has been going on AFAIK for about as long as ME-TV got TBNS.
