ME-TV...........to be continued

[eggsdannythomas]

Last week me and the wife watched a goofy episode of Starsky & Hutch in which the fellas were about to get killed by a Carribean witch doctor in a voodoo ceremony when we see...........To Be Continued.

We waited all week for last night's episod, and as I predicted to my wife, it wasn't the continuation from last week. I figured that Starsky & Hutch got themselves out of the predicament, but we would like to have seen how.

This is regular practice at ME-TV. Not only do they run programs out of sequence, but I've been screwed out of ....To Be Continued's of Hawaii-5-0, Archie, Batman and this wasn't the first time they messed up a S&H (not the green stamps, the cool cops).

Basically what I'm saying is this. ME-TV does such a good job, they really need to straighten out the sequencing of these classic shows. I know they might not own every season of certain shows, but still. It sucks when they do that. Especially since they know that most of their viewers are TV buffs that get mad when they bounce around like that.

I noticed that. Get smart had a 3 episode story and they played the second one then the 3 rd one and never the first one. Also they are starting from the begining again but left out 4 of the last episodes from the end of the series run (according to my tivo). Also if you noticed what the episode says in the info screen (direct TV)is not the episode it is, I don't know if thats Direct TVs fault or WWME.
