WWTBAM Reruns This Week

#1 Post by TheConfessor » Tue Feb 03, 2009 12:34 pm

Is there some reason why the first week of February would be chosen to show reruns? Was this done in past years? They're not even using the better episodes. Today's show ends with an Expert from Entertainment Weekly ruling out Microsoft as the company where Steve Ballmer is CEO. If they really must show reruns, at least they could use the ones with competent Experts.

Yesterday, someone mentioned that the sweeps schedule is different, with March being Sweeps month instead of February; therefore, they're airing the repeats now instead of in March.

New episodes return the week of February 16th. We'll have the first guest host of the season. Cat Deeley from "So You Think You Can Dance" will be filling in for Meredith. I was suprised to find out that the episodes with Cat would be airing in Feb. I was in the audience for all five shows and the audience warm-up guy told the studio audience that these episodes would be airing in June. These episodes with Cat were taped on Sept 4th. I'm not sure why they chose to move up the air-dates for these episodes. I originally thought they moved it up for sweeps week. In any case I advise you to watch these episodes because Cat did a fantastic job hosting and they gave away more money with Cat than any other guest host.

Last year they showed reruns of Millionaire during the three weeks of the NCAA men's basketball tournament -- the last two weeks of March and the first week of April.

The truly scary thing is I didn't recognize yesterday's show as a rerun. Maybe its one I missed, but I don't miss many. And even on those, I try to read the transcript so the questions are familiar.

Ah, no transcripts to be done, posting to get or stay off the bold list.

Just my luck. The original airing of Monday's shows was pre-empted in SoCal because of coverage of the fires. I was looking forward to finally getting to see it/record it, but KCAL came into it "in progress" so they could stick with the stinking Laker post-game show.
