Iowa Caucus

On Tuesday we had the Iowa Caucus. And since I live in Iowa the national programming was preempted locally for Caucus coverage. One of those shows I usually record for my mother.

According to my TV the show was suppose to start at 2:07 AM this morning. So I set my VCR adding several extra minutes at the end and set my DVR just to be on the safe side.

This morning I checked my recording and found I recorded about an hour and a half of a cartoonish image of a city skyline with the words 'ABOUT FUNNY' in bold. No sound, just this image for the entirety of the recording. Looking at my DVR there was no recording listed.

I hate when I have to record something in the middle of the night when it's not its normal scheduled time.

I know I could have added this to my previous post, but meh. People at TV networks are idiots.

From president of ABC, Steve McPherson: When asked about the cancellation of the much-loved "Men in Trees," McPherson said "we just couldn't get traction on that show" (but did not mention the many time-slot changes and long hiatuses it was subject to).

They couldn't get traction because they couldn't be bothered to keep the show on at the same time slot for more than a few weeks before changing it again and again and months on end off the air.

And Boston Legal's last season is only going to have thirteen episodes because of David E. Kelley's new baby Life On Mars which was an awesome British show, but is just gonna be another American cop show. Like we really need that.

The rest of the article about ABC shows coming and going next fall are here.
