This is like me saying "I don't like ESPN because they have too much about football and I don't like football."
To which ESPN might respond telling me to do an unnatural act upon myself.

Just why does Hallmark start 24/7 Christmas in mid October?

I watch Cheers on there sometimes if I'm up early in the morning, but that's about it.
So then youāre not the audience.
Since you mention it, there are a number of biblical researchers who claim to have worked out that Christ was born in September, and a subset of that group believes he was specifically born on September 11, 3 BC (between 6:18 PM and 7:39 PM, no less). I do remember reading that December 25 was officially chosen in Christianity's first centuries because it allowed the church to assimilate sun worshipers whose beliefs centered around the winter solstice. But if the researchers who've settled on September are correct, the Christmas addicts who've always needed 100+ days of Christmas each year will end up looking somehow prescient.
No, please... please don't. The irony of a network whose original focus was improving people's health now just making them nauseous...

The only things I ever liked watching on Lifetime were Unsolved Mysteries and The Commish, and the overacted TV movies they had were pretty funny.Since you mention it, there are a number of biblical researchers who claim to have worked out that Christ was born in September, and a subset of that group believes he was specifically born on September 11, 3 BC (between 6:18 PM and 7:39 PM, no less).

Again, the audience is who itās for, not you.No, please... please don't. The irony of a network whose original focus was improving people's health now just making them nauseous...
It can still be whoever is stuck in the room with who it's for.
Time to politely leave the room
They donāt have all the segments in them from the original broadcasts, some of the missing ones are on Youtube. I still want to see the NBC Unsolved Mysteries specials hosted by Raymond Burr, but theyāre not available anywhere.
Earbuds also work.
I wonder if from an advertising perspective, they single out individual "shows" to determine how to target it or whether an entire channel is looked at. For example, TBS plays American Dad only on a five hour block once a week late Monday night...I wonder if they specifically tailor it to viewers who might only watch that program on there and nothing else?
If you find sickly sweet holiday movies on showtime nauseous you are clearly not in the demographic ranges that those movies are made to reach: Females 18 to whatever the maximum age advertisers are spending on for television, and any males who might feel obligated to watch if their significant other loves schmaltz and wants to cuddle. No advertiser sees any need to reach males of any age watching these movies alone, because no such male exists.No, please... please don't.

OOPS! I wrote this not knowing that similar opinions had already been posted. I'll leave it up rather than leave a n/m or a "deleted" just for whatever entertainment value it may have.
No, they do that to attract people who like the show who might engage in binge viewing and watch all the episodes, increasing their audience across the full five hours.

No, I think he needed to hear that a second time.
That makes sense. But for instance, on Hallmark, they have Frasier for a few hours overnight then one hour of Cheers at 6 a.m. Do stations ever segment their audience by who watches what...for instance people can watch those shows without liking some of the other junk on that station. I remember years ago, VH1 showed videos in the early morning, while playing different fare during the day and night, which might have had a different audience makeup than the rest of what they consider their audience.

MTV used to do the same thing ... videos in the morning, long-form programming later in the day and in prime time. I always presumed it was just a strategy to run the long-form shows when there were more potential viewers (regardless of demos) and videos became the "filler" during non-prime viewing hours.
That's what CMT has done with country videos. A few hours in the morning only.

I always find these threads amusing, because they invariably are started by people outside the target demographic of the station or network and then attack the programming because they don't like it.
Kind of like the people who would call a Country station to request Miles Davis or John Coltrane.
