What are they doing with their programming? Maybe it's not any different but I've been flipping by it for weeks now because it seems like they just keep screwing around with the schedule. I wish they would find a good line-up and stick with it for a while. What they're doing now just isn't working for me. Are they ever going to bring any of the T80s shows back?

What they are trying to do is get into the top of the ratings with their shows, so they are saving the so-called "classic" episodes, for a time when they need a boost in the ratings. If they saved them, they obviosly helped the ratings in the past. Another thing is that, they want the years for FOL and DS to be lined-up, meaning that both episodes must have aired at the same time, or at least close.

I'm not impressed...

I don't really get the whole episode saving thing. I mean, when they decide they need to use them, there's only so long that those episodes can boost the ratings, it's not like they can keep it going. When you only have a certain number of shows in the line up how can you really be concerned with the ratings?... They're bound to be lower the more times a series is rerun.

This was the original theory why NAN was changing around the schedule but it doesn’t make sense anymore. Tonight’s episode of Diff’rent Strokes was the one where Kimberly had over the first season FOL girls for a slumber party. FOL is currently in the fourth season, not the first.

Did anyone catch that DS episode? It was pretty funny with the battle between the boys and girls.
Molly: I’m not a girl. I’m a woman.
Arnold: If you’re a woman then I’m Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
