TV.....What the hell??

[Moraff]

I would really like to know what the model for programming is these days.....keep 'em guessing?

First question:
Seems like the first season or two of a show is shown on the east coast and we on the west coast get to see the re-runs, true or false.

Second question:
What is up with the on again off again thing? They build you up saying that there are gonna be new episodes, and you might get two new ones then back to the re-runs, or the show vanishes entirely.

I don't understand the network's model nor do I understand the public mentality that puts up with this crap.

I really wish someone would 'enlighten' me.

First question: false

Second question: It's all about ratings.Shows with high ratings and viewership generate revenue in the form of advertising $$$. Crappy ratings or viewership = low advertising revenue = show is axed.

Enlightenment should be fulfilled.

Perhaps a more pressing question, and a concern regarding moral decay and that of the American society is, why is hollywood so obsessed, absorbed and infactuated with promoting homosexuals/queers/sexual deviants/abnormal sexual behavior, etc in their shows. God created Adam and Eve, he did NOT create Adam and Steve. Which is why a whole lot of us with a moral compass don't even bother with most trashy TV shows from hollywood, they tend to amount to the execution of an agenda of people reprogramming, designed to desensitize America to wrongful, abnormal and antisocial behavior.
