BRAVO ending LOCI repeats

[Patcat]

The Bravo Cable channel is ending LOCI repeats, at least on Sunday nights. The channel will be showing REAL HOUSEWIFES of someplace or other. No word if LOCI reruns will appear somewhere else.

If LOCI ends on Bravo, this will be another station I won't watch, joining the Golf Channel, CMT, FOX News, Lifetime--h-m-m. Maybe it's easier to list the channels I do watch...

Damn! This is the only reason I watch that stupid network, which used to be a class act. There goes Sunday.

Are you certain Patcat? I don't see it in my Googles.

[angua]

that's wierd. USA network and BRAVO are both owned by the same company. Should we read anything into this?

[Patcat]

There was a news link on tvtattle.com. A very brief announcement, and it did seem to apply only to the Sunday night regular repeats. I wouldn't read too much into it. BRAVO has been cutting back on the number of LOCI reruns for some time now.

It has been depressing to watch this once interesting and classy network degenerate into endless reruns of the REAL HOUSEWIFES OF...Not unlike what happened to A&E.

You forgot about the Millionaire Matchmaker!

I watched LOCI reruns on Bravo Sunday morning. I was surprised.

Was Bravo always owned by NBC? It seems like in the last few years, their programming has gone into the toilet. I can't stand those "real housewives" shows.

*getting on soapbox*

And what IS it about our society today that clamors for all of these shows that basically show people at their very worst? People seem to get a real kick out of watching other people being humiliated on camera. I think back to the beginnings of Jerry Springer...and I have to wonder what people find so fascinating about watching the most over-the-top ridiculous people that they can dig up duke it out on national TV over who is sleeping with who, who's the baby-daddy-baby-momma, and how many men or women one person can screw in a 24-hour period.

I mean...is this REALLY what we've become? Or are those of us who hate this crap just not vocal enough? Because I can't imagine we're really in the minority...

*off soapbox*

Anyway...Bravo has been seriously cutting back on the LOCI repeats over the past few months...and Oxygen and Sleuth are picking them up on different nights...so I say good-bye Bravo. Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

And would you please do us all a favor and put a fat piece of duct tape over Kathy Griffin's filthy mouth until that door is shut tight...and locked? Thanks a bunch! Buh-bye!

I think she's funny. Those celebrities deserve a hole poked in them.

It does appear Bravo is continuing to run some LOCI episodes, but at really weird times like 2am on Sunday.

Dang. I would make my room off-limits Sunday nights as I sorted laundry and watched Bravo.

However, like Patcat, I've noticed it's still on at odd hours. Sometimes I work a Sunday night shift, so it would be fun to come home (technically Monday morning) and get a nice VDO dose before hitting the hay.

If USA suspends the Monday marathons, though, I'll be really ticked.

[outerbankschick]

It's not the hole-poking I object to...it's the way she does it. She's way too crude for my taste.

[maherjunkie]

I have worked in Hollywood and she is indeed doing the Lord's work.

[outerbankschick]

LOL!

I just posted the November CI schedule on USA. It's all Monday marathons unless they add to the schedule later.
