Time’s Winged Chariot
BJK&E Media’s Steve Sternberg says, in the TV Upfront report, “There’s something for everyone in the [Wednesday at 9 p.m.] time period” [“The Time-Slot Chronicles,” June 2]. He’s got it backwards. There’s everything I like in that time period, and no time to watch it.
Like most people, I have only one VCR, so here’s how it goes on Wednesday: Do we watch Drew Carey and Ellen and tape 3rd Rock from the Sun, try to remember to tape Star Trek: Voyager when it’s rebroadcast at 11:30 on another night, and maybe catch up with Party of Five in reruns? Or try some other combination? What if we want to go out that night? And when do we watch what we’ve taped? Aaaarrghhhhhh! You call this counter-programming?
