Crap like Rules of Engagement airs on a million channels while many quality shows are unseen or at bad times.

Reruns in local syndication and first-run episodes on CBS hardly constitutes "a million channels."

I was exaggerating of course, but it will air on FOUR different stations: WGN, TBS, CBS, and broadcast syndication. Other much higher quality shows don't even get to air on one or two stations or don't have convenient slots.

"Rules" has never had its chance, until now. The show has been on the air since 2007, and this is the first year I can watch it outside of the three months CBS decides to air it. If you don't like it, change the channel. We've got 1000s of them these days, haha!

I hate when shows start at the :30 mark. Why air one random show in the middle of the day? Ugh.

I do, however, LOVE that Rules of Engagement has joined the schedule. The only station I get it in syndication is the low-powered CW, which does not come in HD. This will be the first time (other than CBS) that I get to see Rules of Engagement in HD, so I am beyond excited for its arrival!!! One of the funniest comedies currently on the air that really never got the love and attention from CBS.

I'm not a fan of airing several episodes of a show then a couple hours later airing one more. Why not just air all 4 in a block?

The double episodes at the :30 mark are odd, as well. Just kind of a cluttery schedule. Not a big fan of it.

Hard to believe a show like MWC is relegated to just mornings in reruns. I will never understand that show and Viacom.

What about TBS's local station Peachtree? Would it have the same schedule or are there a few cases where they'll have different shows on it, because, to be honest, it doesn't look that great to me.

PAV - i think you made a small mistake on there; I believe it is supposed to be ~~ "The Wedding BAND" NOT ~~ "The Wedding BANG" - that's a COMPLETELY different show.

Am I making this up or did TBS once air Saved by the Bell? I ask because was flipping through channels and saw it recently and can't remember what channel aired it. It might've been WGN or TBS?

Saved by the Bell was on TBS for like 15 years or something like that

That sounds about right. I remember watching it on the network in the 90s, but most recently I guess it was on WGN.

I thought the Office was doing well for TBS? why the F*Ck would they cancel it?
