agree, at least let us go on demand and watch the missing episodes, but it’s not even there, or online at the channel’s site of full length episodes.
I totally agree with Laura she said it just right it totally sucks & is UNFAIR
That sucks what about people who dont watch the world series and want to watch criminal minds & law n order ect??
Agreed that’s what DVR’s are for. Not a baseball fan either but I DVR it and when I went to watch I’m like WHAT! Besides if you miss an episode go online or worst of all it will be in reruns later! Switching schedule stupid only screws the season up! You know it’s all about ratings.
THIS SUCKS! I don’t care one bit but baseball, but due to it being an important game, that I am NOT planning on watching, that means I also am NOT watching any other show I would PREFER TO WATCH over a sporting event, cuz all my shows were cancelled & replaced w/repeat episodes instead? THIS IS SO UNFAIR! If the premier of my favorite show on the same night as some random sporting event, they wouldn’t cancel the sporting event because everyone wanted to watch the season premiere of some big tv show, so why should my shows be cancelled… Read more »
I am really disappointed by this decision. In this age of DVRs and on demand there is no reason for a change like this. Baseball fans could record and watch latter without making those of us who hate televised sports of any kind suffer. Bad decision.
