Question about TV in the USA. Let's say The Bob Show is on NBC at 9pm. Does that mean 9pm New York time, or LA time, or Central or Mountain? Or is it staggered?

Generally speaking, it would be staggered. Since NBC is located in New York, I'd say it would be NY time. Than again, I might have no idea what I'm talking about.

Usually two feeds: New York and Los Angeles. The LA feed airs three hours behind NYC, and the time zones in the middle have the option to run either the NYC or the LA feed.

Often you'll hear that a program airs at "8:00; 7 Central."

[EDIT: Oh, and since the shows all air three hours late here, often I'll have big shows/sports spoiled for me if I happen to log on to Yahoo! and spot a news link about it on the front page.]

Ok, that makes sense. The Edit note was what I was thinking of: must be annoying for big episodes.

Yahoo! has stopped spoiling shows on its homepage recently, probably after getting a fair number of complaints.

There was a slight controversy when a Colorado Comedy Central affiliate switched from the NYC to the LA feed, thus consigning "The Daily Show" to midnight, and prompting local leftists to accuse the station of trying to "censor" Jon Stewart for opposing the war. The station said they switched so "South Park" would stop airing at 8:00, which is supposed to be a "family-friendly" TV viewing hour.

It also means that those of us on the west coast rarely get anything labeled as "live" live. :angry:

What am I watching? Tonight will be the series finale of The OC. I am not impressed by this. I get addicted to a show and then they end it. :angry:

The same thing happened with Angel.

The worse part about that finale and the OC's? They were seriously rushed. Grrr...

I will also be watching CSI, Grey's Anatomy and ER.

Nah, Kenny. I miss Buffy too. I don't think they even play re-runs here anymore. :(


I guess we'll just have to buy Seasons 1 through 8 on DVD. Hee.

It's still on FX in the morning, but you know, waking up at 7 a.m., just to watch Buffy? ... <_<
