Thanks Dave. Yeah, I could see how that could get old fast. Reminds me of how TV Land does with their schedule sometimes. Honestly, it seems that cable programmers in general have become quite lazy with the content; anything that gets ratings automatically gets 2 or 3 hour daytime blocks.

It's not laziness...it's because it gets ratings and a programmer's job is to get ratings for the entire roster of that organization's suite of channels. And if there is a show that gets the same above average rating whether you show it once a day or 10 times a day, it's going to be on 10 times a day.
If cable TV was more true competition and less of an oligarchy, I doubt we would have a third of the channels we do now. As much as I adore college hockey, even I find a TV landscape where it's not "hey, college hockey is on" to "hey, which of the three college hockey games that are on tonight should I watch" tells you something's just a bit off.
One example...
