First.... by StarskyandHushky	Nov 20th, 2008 03:33:41 PM
No one cares!
I care! by StarWarsRedux	Nov 20th, 2008 03:35:24 PM
Well, about "Jericho", anyway.
wow they are desprate. by erichaislar	Nov 20th, 2008 03:37:19 PM
Reruns!
I've never heard of any of those shows by wash	Nov 20th, 2008 03:37:34 PM
Something tells me I'm not missing anything.
Now WPIX can go back to being "New York's Movie Station"... by Mr. Profit	Nov 20th, 2008 03:39:17 PM
I remember being a kid and growing up watching Channel 11 on Saturday and Sunday and being entertained by the movies they played. And then when "Shocktober" rolled along I was even happier because I love horror films. Now that MRC isn't programming on Sunday, maybe the local affiliates can go back to regaining control.
good good by Timahh	Nov 20th, 2008 03:41:19 PM
one step closer to ridding the world of gossip girl.
well not really by Timahh	Nov 20th, 2008 03:41:57 PM
but i can hope.
Seriously? by NormanOsborne	Nov 20th, 2008 03:43:57 PM
Reruns? Why not bring back Reaper early and commission a few more scripts to get through the season.
What's an MRC by ZTR421	Nov 20th, 2008 03:48:51 PM
?
Jericho by Don Lockwood	Nov 20th, 2008 03:50:44 PM
That's an interesting decision considering the lack of ratings that Jericho got on a full-fledged network. If they wanted to go back to the vault to show something, why not pick repeats of a previously-successful show?
PIX! PIX! PIX! PIX! PIX! PIX! PIX! PIX! by slone13	Nov 20th, 2008 03:50:54 PM
Any tri-state folks here that remember the "video game" WPIX had on in the afternoons during their commercial breaks that you could call into the channel and play on air? PIX! PIX!
Jericho Should Have Moved To CW by fedrich519	Nov 20th, 2008 04:07:02 PM
and stayed on the air for first run episodes. Instead, it gets canceled to make room for Viva Laughlin.

That and the unexpected Magic Garden revival are making me feel truly old.
Slone13 by Furzee	Nov 20th, 2008 04:43:20 PM
I remember those pix games. It was essentially an Intellivision game being played by someone in the studio, and when the caller wanted to fire he would say 'PIX' and the guy in the studio would press the button. Needless to say there was often a lag, but I always loved watching that crap. PIX used to be the coolest station in New York. Repeats of Abbot and Costello on Sunday mornings, the Three Stooges, Honeymooners and Odd Couple at 11pm...ahh memories. I would love it if they went old school.

I am from Albany and we got cable in 1978 and all through my childhood we had 5, 9, and 11 from NY (as well as 38 from Boston) on our cable box. I totally remember. Those kids had no timing. It was just pixpixpixpixpix.
Good by TOASTERslayer	Nov 20th, 2008 04:52:53 PM
Thats what the CW gets for canceling Veronica Mars.
FOR YOUR LOCAL INTERESTS by alice 13	Nov 20th, 2008 05:03:11 PM
how bout canceling the other 6 nites. tyvm.
Just don't fuck with Thursdays! by Cotton McKnight	Nov 20th, 2008 05:19:30 PM
I swear if anyone at the CW even has a passing thought about doing something with Supernatural other than renewing it, I will kick their ass.
Save Jericho! by Eyegore	Nov 20th, 2008 06:20:14 PM
sigh
Jericho lives on !!!! by Bill Clay	Nov 20th, 2008 06:33:21 PM
If only we could have kept more people watching! We'd be watching the Second Civil War story arc right about now.
The CW sucks by Mr Spork	Nov 20th, 2008 06:48:08 PM
except for Supernatural, which does not suck.
I have to second... by Noddy93	Nov 20th, 2008 08:18:38 PM
what the fuck is an MRC?
Maybe the CW should call a certain blonde.... by Eternal Watcher	Nov 20th, 2008 08:28:52 PM
named Kristen Bell? If there's ever a time to give "Veronica Mars" a better finish, it's now.
Maybe if they promoted anything else but Gossip Girl and 9021Blo by grendel25	Nov 20th, 2008 09:11:41 PM

and I will third by gotilk	Nov 21st, 2008 12:48:30 AM
MRC?? My retarded channel?
MRC= Media Right Capital by Bob Cryptonight	Nov 21st, 2008 01:41:04 AM
Some sort of independent television production company.
Media Rights Capital by Bob Cryptonight	Nov 21st, 2008 01:42:02 AM
Rights with an "s".
wow by gotilk	Nov 21st, 2008 04:24:17 AM
Thanks for the clarification. Sounds like they've captured the meaning of the creative spirit with that name.
Haha by The McPoyle Clan	Nov 21st, 2008 04:53:45 AM
So they essentially farmed out an entire night to an outside production company, presumably to go cheap, and still can't make it work? Jericho must be really cheap in syndication.
Good call by Dazzler69	Nov 21st, 2008 06:54:30 AM
I never even heard of any of this.
WPIX by Phimseto	Nov 21st, 2008 10:55:23 AM
Hear, hear for the liberation of WPIX. For that matter, WLVI 56 and TV38 in Boston both need saving, too. All three of those stations, along with the "'Yor: Hunter from the Future" on endless repeat'" WWOR in New Jersey were the greatest stations growing up. TV38 had the fantastic Movie Loft and of course WLVI had the legendary Saturday afternoon "Creature Double Feature".
WPIX Pt. II by Phimseto	Nov 21st, 2008 10:56:08 AM
Though in WPIX's defense, it's my understanding that they've brought the Yule Log back. Hopefully whoever took it off the air to begin with is roasting on a yule log in hell as we speak.
Jerico... by Kid Z	Nov 21st, 2008 02:45:39 PM
...The Dr. Doom af dramatic series television. (It can NEVER just die!)
Kid Z by frozen01	Nov 21st, 2008 02:48:52 PM
Nor should it. Damn good show.
Valentine? by Gislef_crow	Nov 21st, 2008 03:18:18 PM
Sounded kinda lame and skipped it. Actually watched the last episode, though, and it seemed mildly interesting. Haephaestus and Ares scheming against each other, Aphrodite trying to get a divorce, Eros with a semi-automatic version of his bow & arrows, hints of some Big Bad with a god-killing sword... The actual romance/A plot was blehh, although it had David Burke (The Tick - Mothman) in it with a pretty skanky ex. I'd probably have actually tuned in for another episode. Now, if only they had a decent name for it: what does "Valentine" have to do with Greek gods? Although I suppose most other titles might have sounded like an extended sodomy joke.
Media Rights Capital? by Cash907	Nov 21st, 2008 08:53:26 PM
More like media sucks capitol. Having one show get canceled sucks, but your entire block getting the axe has got to sting like a bitch.
"protect [...] your local interests" by punto	Nov 22nd, 2008 05:36:59 AM
didn't they already know they'd be getting shitty programming when they became CW affiliates? And now they got rid of the only good show they had (Easy Money).
Fuck the C-dub by lord_zedd	Nov 22nd, 2008 10:30:53 AM
They fucking killed Veronica those fucking fucks....FUCK
