Won't be watching tonight . . . Big Bang Theory is on CBS at 8:30. I'll make sure to catch it tomorrow, though.

JulieSomoski · 10-02-2007, 03:36 PM

Do you know if they started with the Pilot last night? I'll watch tonight for sure.

Pavan · 10-02-2007, 06:48 PM

The pilot of course aired first. They are going in order, with no skippings but the Christmas episode so far.

Man, was the sound quality poor on tonight's episode of Perfect Strangers or what? Also, when one of Ion's on screen promos ran, the picture disappeared

There did seem like a lot of edits in unnecessary places. I"m pretty sure there were 3 commercials (unless I counted wrong) and they seemd to take forever.

The picture quality was also pretty bad. Similar to how bad the picture quality is for TWY, but most shows on ION do have poor picture quality, so nothing new there.

Overall, I enjoyed watching. It's good to see something else is on in the 8pm hour besides Mama.

MikeL · 10-03-2007, 06:20 PM

yeah i know tell u truth im tired of mama already we need new shows on not so many back to back shows like variety that is if 1on cares what we want

clj2 · 10-05-2007, 08:28 AM

I never really watched Alice on ION much, but are the cuts for PS as bad as those? There seems to be a lot of commercials, more than WTB? has, or maybe it's just me?

Yeah, the quality's not that great, but I doubt ION does any touching up or remastering on their shows. WTB? and Mama look decent though.

Pavan · 10-05-2007, 10:32 AM

Perfect Strangers' quality is not that bad. I think it is better than Nick at Nite's. The editing is terrible though. Three major commercial breaks.

thebloodyscot · 10-05-2007, 11:47 PM

I timed it, and it runs at somewhat over 21 minutes, which is what Who's The Boss runs at. It just has more commercial breaks, like Mama's Family.

New stunt!

- Perfect Strangers Halloween Stunt
Monday, October 29 and Tuesday, October 30
8:30PM & 9:00PM ET/PT both nights
Join Larry and Balki as they battle The Grim Reaper, the touch of death, a ghost, and some Halloween late night horror movies!

Monday, October 29, 2007
8:30PM #34 The Horn Blows at Midnight
Balki listens humbly as a famous psychic predicts that Larry will be "eating a golden ring and sitting on a sheep" on the day a terrible storm ushers in The Grim Reaper.
9:00PM #147 Lethal Weapon
Balki is convinced he is cursed with a "touch of death" and insists on wearing a protection suit to keep from touching anyone, which tries everyone's patience.

Tuesday, October 30, 2007
8:30PM #125 Fright Night
There's a ghost haunting Balki's room; Balki is thrilled and Larry is skeptical, that is until the spirit becomes angry.
9:00PM #53 Aliens
Larry braves a Halloween night horror-movie marathon but he awakens the next morning believing Balki has turned into a different kind of immigrant - from another planet.

thebloodyscot · 10-18-2007, 12:35 PM

Cool, can't wait to watch it.

clj2 · 10-18-2007, 01:18 PM

I guess this means 'Strangers' is doing well for them.

Any ideas when we'll hear about November? I don't expect any changes, except maybe D: M coming back and airing 7-8pm or airing like 9-10 and airing WTB? from 7-8 or at last 7:30..make sense? LOL

Pavan · 10-18-2007, 01:22 PM

See today's blog about the November note.
