Aw MAN....NICK is REALLY Messing Me Up NOW!!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

OK, I give up....

NICK was SUPPOSED to pre-empt WINGS for FIVE days this week to show CHEERS....

I've just checked the NICK on-line schedule, and it's a good thing that I did....

NOW NICK's weekly and daily schedules are showing that CHEERS was only pre-empting WINGS on Monday and Tuesday of this week....on Wednesday WINGS starts up again!

Now I'm COMPLETELY confused and lost....Somebody HELP me on this...PLEASE!!!!

pilotguy · 08-19-2003, 07:53 AM

Oh wait, wait...I forgot to tell you the BEST part....

When NICK starts showing WINGS again tomorrow night, the schedule is showing the episode to be "Say It Ain't So, Joe"....
which is an episode from the END of SEASON 3!!!!!

Adam was right...There is absolutely NO WAY that I'm going to get every WINGS episode videotaped in it's proper chronological order....JUST NO WAY!

Krista2882 · 08-19-2003, 08:56 AM

WHAT?
That's bizarre! I checked their schedule early afternoon yesterday, and it still showed Cheers on at 1 all week until Firday night! That's weird that they change stuff so abruptly!

and what?! they're not going to show the rest of season 2???! RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm never going to get to see the end of season 2!!!!! or get it on tape!! and I've still never seen the first ep of season 3 either!
and "Airport '90" was SUPPOSED to be coming up soon, and now I won't get to see that one again at all for a long time now, and it's one of my favorites, and I only saw it once, and I don't have it on tape. rrrr.

N@N blows. a large wind.

oooh. that run-on "RRRR" made my previous message annoying to read. sorry about that. lol

Krista2882 · 08-19-2003, 09:16 AM

oh you know what tho? it shows season 3 eps for wednesday, thursday, and Friday, but then season 2 episodes- in the order we should be going in (but skipping over "A Terminal Christmas") for Saturday and Sunday. So it still shows that episodes 016 and 018 will be on on Saturday and Sunday nights. 016 is "There's Always Room For Cello", and 018 is "Airport '90". So hopefully that won't change, because I wanna see "Airport '90" again!!!
I'd REALLy like to see the last half of season 2 tho also, which I've never seen, but we can't have it all. lol.

I mean, I'm still saying what I've been saying all along- that at least the show is on TV and we can watch it. But N@N still ticks me off with the way they treat their shows! (especially Wings. hehe). RRR!

No more annoying than these last-minute, half-thought-out NICK schedule changes!

Don't lose hope, Krista....I THINK that NICK is going to pick up Season 2 next week, when they were SUPPOSED to resume WINGS shows.

yeah, I hope so! i was thinking that that might be possible because they still have season 2 episodes on this weekend...

phoebe7165 · 08-19-2003, 10:19 AM

Gee, do you think maybe N@N was bombarded with calls from viewers complaining about taking Wings off this week, they decided to air it mid-week?

Oh, silly me, what was I thinking? Of course not!! As we all know, N@N doesn't care about it's viewers. N@N executives are being brainwashed by the almighty dollar.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Krista2882 · 08-19-2003, 11:08 AM

but woa. we're forgetting that they actually decided to change this week in FAVOR of Wings! we were supposed to get 5 days in a row with no Wings.. now it's only 2 days.

woooo!

i had forgotten about that while ranting about other aspects of it. lol!

That's all anyone seems to care about these days. As my 11th grade history teacher always used to say, "It's all about money!"

You're right, Krista....I don't know what it is, but SOMETHING'S going on here with NICK...and it looks like it's actually in our favor!

WHY would NICK suddenly switch their schedule around and actually CANCEL a special "Cheers" week (and we all know that "Cheers" is one of NICK's "pet" shows) in favor of "WINGS"?

Also, I heard from a very reliable source (who works in broadcasting) that THE MAJOR reason why NICK suddenly aborted their "Viewer Appreciation" block scheduling was that they were receiving numerous complaints from viewers who hated the "late overnight" timeslot of "Wings"!

The folks at NICK would probably be the last to admit this, but it's starting to look like "Wings" has been making a little more "noise" than they had anticipated!

The TRUE test will be if NICK suddenly changes their planned fall schedule and moves "Wings" from that crazy 3:30 AM timeslot to an earlier time.

I know that this sounds like I'm pipe-dreaming here, but the very recent actions of NICK have shown sudden "second thought" programming decisions in favor of "Wings".....as I said before, SOMETHING'S going on here!

Chocoholic · 08-19-2003, 12:53 PM

I hope that's true, Pilotguy! Maybe more of us Wings fans should keep calling and mailing N@N

spunkygirl · 08-20-2003, 01:31 AM

I am just glad they're showing it again, I thought it would backfire on them, IMO they just expected the Wings viewers to just roll over while they treated us this way in favor of Cheers(which already gets three showings doesn't it?)

I hope they keep getting bombarded with complaints about the timeslot they want to stick Wings in later this year. If I had a phone no. to contact someone at N@N I would surely lodge a complaint.

I always ROFL when they would say VAS, that was a joke cause we know the only viewers they appreciate are Cosby viewers
