[JT]

Don't they air "Star Trek: the Next Generation" too much anyway?

[Mr. Television]

The only show on that channel that I like is The A-Team.

[ClassicComedyFan2]

Three episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation is a great thing, and I'm glad that A-Team will still be around. Still overall, aside from Trek, its a bad schedule.

* remembers when they played Diff'rent Strokes, Three's Company, Kids Say and Star Trek: TNG all on the same station *

At least the black bar is a thing of the past, though!

Spike TV SPECIALS/SERIES Highlights - September 2003


SPIKE TV ORIGINAL SERIES

New Series!
THE JOE SCHMO SHOW (TV-14)
Series debuts Tuesday, September 2 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) with a special two hour event. Regularly telecasts Tuesdays (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT); repeats Sundays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT & 1:00-2:00 AM, ET/PT).
Spike TV's "The Joe Schmo Show" is one of television's biggest and riskiest experiments. Playing into men's appetites for competition, humor and beautiful women, "The Joe Schmo Show" combines elements from many reality shows found on TV...except with one huge secret-only one of the contestants is
real. Everyone else on the show, from the host to the other 'players', are actors following a pre-determined outline. Matt Kennedy Gould is our unsuspecting "contestant" and the ultimate wildcard element that this entire show revolves around. Think middle. Middle class. Middle America and middle of the road. A native of Pittsburgh, PA, Matt recently dropped out of law
school and is a pizza deliveryman until he figures out what he wants to do with his life. He is the only non-actor of the house. Matt Kennedy Gould is our "Joe Schmo."
