So today, I go to workout and turn on UM at 11, which on the website it SAYS UM is on today from 11 to 3 or what not, just like everyday before this week. BUT.... low and behold, another mini marathon of the ultra horrible CSI is on! Great, they better not have screwed us over again, just as I was getting into a routine....I seriously have never seen ANY station in the history of TV that has changed their lineup so much or w/o warning as much as spike. It's a disgrace that they have to have the rights to the show if they cannot actually SHOW it.

I don't watch CSI but I remember seeing promo this past weekend that a major cast member was leaving the show. SPIKE was airing a CSI marathon in honor of this cast member. Stupid but yeah thats the story behind the marathon.

Ahh...that makes sense. The primary cast member of that series (Grissom?) is leaving and his final episode airs on network tv tonight. Given the amount of money Spike paid for the rights to air CSI, it would make sense they would take advantage of the situation and air a marathon.
Thanks for the explanation DarkDante! I couldn't believe my eyes when I checked the Tivo this evening and there were no episodes of UM from today...I thought it was broken :(

Is that the case? I tuned in and it was Married with Children. Turned i toff, and it was CSI when itsaid it was Unsolved. They need to stop %#)*)*%#)%* with the schedule and stick to a timeslot.
