Huh?

[Scott Greczkowski]

So tonight NBC had on "Monsters Versus Aliens" Halloween special on at 8PM. At 8:30 pm they repeated the same show that they showed at 8pm again.

Whats up with that?

 

[Stargazer]

Maybe they didn't have anything for the 8:30 timeslot? Reminds me of what TNT used to do, show the same thing back to back.

 

[Juan]

Thats what the Universal cable channels do now too

 

[dfergie]

I think it was scheduled that way... I'll try to check my Replay guide and see (you can go back in time with it)

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yeah it was scheduled that way. Just strange to have the same show shown twice in a row.

 

[lakebum431]

Yeah, it is bad enough when TBS or TNT do it for a movie, but to replay the same 30 min show back to back is really dumb. NBC just doesn't have much that is decent anymore.

 

[Derwin0]

Argh... I missed getting it for the kids. Oh well, hopefully NBC will replay it, if not, then torrent will have to supply.

Just shows you what's happening with the Networks . I believe ABC has shown the Peanuts Halloween Special twice .

 

[mike123abc]

Kids would watch the shows they like 100x in a row if they could.

 

[VinceT3]

SHO has been doing that for ages.. I always found it odd Californication is replayed on the same channel right after they just played it...

 

[DJ Rob]

It saves them money to do that.
I read they may also repeat the previous days Nightly News if nothing majorly newsworthy happens.

 

[Derwin0]

I believe ABC has shown the Peanuts Halloween Special twice .

Back to back? Or different nights?

Different nights makes sense, as some kids like to watch more than once. But back to back is ridiculous for a 30 min. episode.

Different Nights . But even doing that tells me that Networks are trying to save money. They will do the same thing with some Christmas Specials

SciFi has done that for a long time with the Stargate episodes.
