This is weird. Smackdown airs tonight from 11:35 PM - 1:35 AM on my local FOX station.

:wtf:

At least that's what my Comcast guide says. What about the rest of you?

Normal time, but I've heard it's really fucked up across the country.

I don't even think I get MyNetwork TV in my area, which is weird, because it used to be UPN 38, and is now My38. Dunno why my cable company doesn't carry it.

But yeah there is a whole page on WWE.com dedicated to listing Smackdown pre-emptions, but it doesn't even mention my state.

I've got it tonight, but I already know there will be problems soon. Even though I am a Pistons fan, they played a number of Friday night games last year on tv20 in Detroit, so I know there will be pre-emptions galore in the future.

Smackdown used to always get pre-empted in my area due to baseball on the CW. Glad that's over.

Thing is, why would it play on FOX on my end?
Xero

The MyNetwork stations are owned by Fox.
Juan

Because the East Coast is weird.

Ohhhh, I didn't know that, Xero, thanks.

That explains why 11:30-1:30 is the new PERMANENT time for Smackdown. :foc:

WTF? I had no idea Smackdown was starting at 7! I missed most of the 8-man tag :mad:

Why is network TV so odd in America?

Anyway Smackdown has been pretty great from what I've seen so far (watching it on YouTube). Something about Chavo's silly/childish-like acting about Taker implies to me he is gonna turn face.

Heh. Over here, UPN was 14 and USA is 40. So, I checked to see if I even had MyNetworkTV; the reason I never saw it before? Channel 373. Apparently, I have a thousand channels. I thought it stopped at, like, 64.

No pre-emtions, tho.

Wow pretty huge pop for CM Punk.

LOL The Divas coming out for the lumberjack match looks like the line-up for the Bunny Ranch. They're all dressed like hookers.

Pretty impressive heat for Kozlov, with the USA chants.

I just realized I have 2 MyNetwork channels. The one for my area and the one for the Bay Area, and the latter is airing Smackdown from 9-11. This is confusing :?:

Only if you're Mexican.
Juan

You're right.

How about you shut your face hole and vote in my polls, k?
Afterlife
10-04-2008, 06:31 PM
Did you make said poll for less than a proper wage?
Juan
10-04-2008, 06:35 PM
No, I get a bonus because I'm bilingual.
Afterlife
10-04-2008, 07:43 PM
A bonus? Would that be a shot of tequila or a free bushel of apples?
Juan

Does it wear a sombrero as you let children ride him whilst you guide it thru tours of the Pueblo ruins?
Juan

No, he's just as lazy as me...

Nah- we both just got high, we just want to chill out.

I don't think MNTV is pre-empted here by anything of interest.
