Ok so my shows are on hiatus right now (stupid writer's strike) so it got me thinking.... When new episodes aren't playing, whether its after the season is over or during it, do you watch the reruns?? Why or why not?? Ok so for me I hate watching reruns during the season. (unless its LOST because you can always pick up new things on that show) I guess its because you have the flow of the order things are happening in and then you kindof back track. I just don't like it. However when the season is over I will watch reruns of my favorite shows. I also like watching shows that really don't matter what order they are in like CSI or Law and Order (for the most part).

Yes, I watch reruns. I love House reruns. I like the old classics. The part about reruns and classic TV stations that bothers me is that they often play the same episodes over and over in one day, or even in a week or month. Probably this wouldn't bother me so much but my husband has to watch the same episode over and over in one day and acts like he has never seen it before. Then if that wasn't enough, he has to recount parts of the story to me as if I haven't seen it and also as if it were the number one true life news happening of the day. He acts like the TV characters are real people. This is super annoying to me. He also acts like he believes these people are real families. He has literally asked, numerous times, isn't hard to believe they aren't even related at all and yet they are so much like a family. They get paid for this, honey... really, no kidding.

Ok, but only if you can prove they were a REAL family and not just pretending.

Now come on you know nobody can pretend that good, they had to be real. Is your husband related to mine? LOL

Oh yes, I do love watching reruns. The local TV network that showed "Gilmore Girls" often does reruns of the show, and I love watching it over and over! If given a chance, I hope they do reruns of other programs, too - a rerun of CSI would be awesome!

Sometimes i watch reruns, it depends on how long ago i saw the episode and who much i liked the episode. I hate it when they rerun a serie a thousand times LOL. I love Charmed so when my daughter wanted to she the rerun of that serie i didn't mind to watch it again.

Oh thats exactly what I was talking about. We just saw the episode a few weeks ago but because they are on a break they are replaying recent episodes until they come back with new ones. It really annoys me. We like Charmed too.
