Sunday, January 18[/u] (season one repeat)
- Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) & Rachael Ray (The Rachael Ray Show)

There HAS to be some logical reason as to why this eppy is the repeater. Because I don't see it.

Both this and the Feb. 1 date will be going up against the NFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl respectively.

...except that this is the year the AFC Championship game is slated for the late day slot, so it probably doesn't make sense for CBS to program a new episode of anything in the 10:00 hour.

It is theoretically possible (indeed, not a stretch at all) for both the Jets and Giants not only to make it to their respective Conference Championships, but to have obtained home-field advantage for same. In that event, the schedule will change, because they won't make them both play the same day.

Point's well-taken, though. I'm just saying that it's not necessarily set in stone.

It's interesting that the schedule starts it on Dec. 18 instead of the original Dec. 21 starting date because any one of the dates could be problematic in terms of airimg because of the possibility the 8 PM start time will probably be more like 8:15 or 8:20 depending on how long the games last.

Nice to know that Chad & Sodboy13 are on there. Good luck fellas. You'll need it.

The Furguson/Williams match-up should be interesting. Also, Betty White should be interesting a second time. She did pretty good last summer. Now we'll see what happens on 12/28.

Seriously, Good on you for writing that. I did the same thing after my "Weakest Link" experience, so that I could cherish every detail. In hindsight, one of the best things I've ever done.

Hope you remembered 'everything' about the experience.

vtown7 · « **Reply #21 on:** December 05, 2008, 12:06:14 PM »

I agree with Matt - I wrote up stories about my "Wheel" and "Inside the Box" experiences and I too am happy I did that - especially so when I was asked to talk to a local Rotary Club about my time on the shows - it made for an easier time writing the speech, that's for sure.

Perhaps we could start a thread with contestant experiences?

Win or lose, it should make for very interesting reading. I've never wanted to be a contestant-I'd rather be the host, but I enjoy reading about the process. Hey, if you don't win on the show, maybe you can sell the book rights and make money that way!

And for anyone curious, I added the tape dates and order for the new episodes.

You got a point, but I have to figure that if that doesn't happen (and with the way the Jets have been inconsistent this year, it might well not) then CBS would get the late game because of the way they've been playing it off the last six or so years or however long it's been since they decided to move the conference championships to mid-afternoon and primetime.

Lot of things to shake out, though.

chad1m · « **Reply #25 on:** December 07, 2008, 12:13:28 AM »

Right. We'll really just have to wait and see. But the earlier games don't look to be affected too much. There's only one game on the 21st in the early afternoon, compared to the double header on FOX.

I think we aren't on the same page here, Chad.

The situation we were talking about involves the NPH-Rachael Ray repeat that's scheduled for conference championship Sunday.

As I type I looked a little further...there is no 4 PM game scheduled for Fox that Sunday, unless something changed that I wasn't aware of. (All three 4 PM games are slated for CBS that day.) So you probably will have to wait a little bit to watch your episode.

It's just me not understanding the intricacies of broadcast football. D'oh.

Jay Temple · « **Reply #28 on:** December 07, 2008, 08:19:22 PM »

It's too bad Heidi Bohay isn't one of the celebs. We know they'd break away from the football game to show Heidi.
