   I would think that they'd get bored watching the same episodes over and over   
   again.  It's become that I just see what episodes are running and just pass   
   them by.  It looks to me that within a month you've seen everything they run.   
   Not a good way to attract viewers.   
      
   Sort of like the clasic TV stations like antenna TV.  How many times can they   
   run Newhart, One Day At A Time and others through before viwers start to jump   
   ship for other stations?  Antenna's saving grace is that they are running   
   Johnny   
   Carson every night and if they don't repeat episodes, (which I have not seen   
   them do yet because I've watched every episode), it will be many years before   
   they've run everything once.  It's OK to repeat them same day for those who may   
   not be able to DVR it though.
